Transcript
- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Portuguese with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Episode 140 – can you believe it? Lucas: I know, right? Feels like just yesterday we were learning how to say 'bom dia'. Today, we're going to a place that smells amazing. Luna: Oh, I love this. Is it a bakery? Lucas: Exactly. A padaria. A Brazilian bakery. You walk in, and there's fresh pão, pão de queijo, all sorts of goodies. Luna: Yeah, pão de queijo. Okay, I'm ready. What's the first thing I say? Lucas: Simple: 'Eu quero pão.' That means 'I want bread.' Let's break it down. Eu quero – I want. Pão – bread. Listen: Eu quero pão. Luna: Eu quero pão. Lucas: Perfect. Now, if you want two loaves or two rolls, you say 'Eu quero dois pães'. Pães is the plural of pão. So: Eu quero dois pães. Luna: Eu quero dois pães. That's easy. Lucas: And you'll probably want to ask the price. So: 'Quanto custa?' – How much does it cost? Luna: Quanto custa? Yeah, that one's useful everywhere. Lucas: Totally. And if you want to know if the bread is fresh, ask 'É fresco?' – Is it fresh? Luna: É fresco? I love that. Nothing like fresh bread. Lucas: Right. So let's put it together. Imagine you walk into a padaria. You say: 'Eu quero pão. Quanto custa? É fresco?' And the baker might say 'Aqui está' – Here you go. Luna: Aqui está. That's a nice one. Lucas: Let's do a quick role-play. I'll be the baker. You come in. Luna: Okay. Bom dia! Eu quero pão. Quanto custa? É fresco? Lucas: Bom dia! Sim, é fresco. Aqui está. That was great, Luna. Luna: Obrigada! I think I could actually do that now. Lucas: You totally could. And hey, speaking of things that make life better – if this podcast has helped you feel more confident with Portuguese, there's a small way you can support us. Luna: Yeah, it's really simple. If today's episode was worth a coffee to you, you can buy us one at buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo. Lucas: Exactly. No pressure, but it helps us keep making episodes like this. Now, back to the bakery. You might also want to try pão de queijo – those cheesy bread balls. Luna: Oh, I love pão de queijo. How do I order that? Lucas: Say 'Eu quero dois pães de queijo.' Two cheese breads. Luna: Eu quero dois pães de queijo. Isso! Lucas: Perfeito. Let's practice the whole scene one more time. You walk in, I'm the baker. Luna: Bom dia! Eu quero pão e dois pães de queijo. Quanto custa? Lucas: Bom dia! É fresco. Aqui está. Cinco reais, por favor. Luna: Aqui está. Obrigada! That felt natural. Lucas: See? You're ready for a Brazilian padaria. Keep practicing these phrases: Eu quero pão, Quanto custa?, É fresco?, Aqui está. And don't forget the pão de queijo. Luna: Aww, I'm craving one now. Thanks Lucas, thanks Fexingo. See you next time! Lucas: Até logo! Practice these till we chat again.
