- Lucas: Hey everyone. Welcome back to Learn Portuguese with Fexingo. I am Lucas. Luna: And I am Luna. We are so glad you are here with us again. Lucas: Today we are staying in one specific room. The kitchen. Luna: Oh, I love the kitchen. It smells good. And it is where we cook. Lucas: Exactly. We have talked about ordering food before. Now we talk about making it. Luna: Yes. But my Portuguese cooking skills are very simple. I need help with the tools. Lucas: That is why we are here. We will learn four phrases for kitchen items. Luna: Okay. Let us start with the big pot on the stove. Lucas: Right. In Portuguese, a pot or a pan is called 'panela'. Listen closely. Lucas: Panela. Luna: Panela. Okay, that sounds easy. Lucas: Now let us make a full sentence. 'A panela está quente.' This means 'The pot is hot.' Lucas: Listen. A panela está quente. Luna: A panela está quente. Oh, wow. That sounds important. Lucas: It is very important. You do not want to touch it by mistake. Luna: True. So 'a panela' is the pot. And 'está quente' is is hot. Lucas: Correct. Let us say it together. A panela está quente. Luna: A panela está quente. Got it. Lucas: Good job. Now, what do you need when you eat soup? Luna: I need a spoon. But I also need a fork and knife. Lucas: Right. In Portuguese, the word for cutlery or silverware is 'talheres'. It covers forks, knives, and spoons. Lucas: Talheres. Luna: Talheres. Okay. Like a set of tools for eating. Lucas: Exactly. Now let us ask where they are. 'Onde estão os talheres?' Lucas: Listen. Onde estão os talheres? Luna: Onde estão os talheres? Where are the cutlery? Lucas: Perfect. You can ask this if you are setting the table. Luna: Onde estão os talheres? Yes. I think I put them in the wrong drawer. Lucas: Happens to everyone. Now, let us get more specific. Sometimes you just need one spoon. Luna: Yes. A spoon is 'colher'. Not to be confused with 'cozinha', which is kitchen. Lucas: Good catch. They look similar but sound different. Colher. Kitchen is cozinha. Lucas: Colher. Luna: Colher. Okay. Now let us use it in a request. Lucas: Right. 'Passa a colher, por favor.' This means 'Pass the spoon, please.' Lucas: Listen. Passa a colher, por favor. Luna: Passa a colher, por favor. That is very polite. Lucas: It is. Very useful at dinner. Let us try it again. Passa a colher, por favor. Luna: Passa a colher, por favor. Nailed it. Lucas: Excellent. One last phrase. What do you use for cereal or salad? Luna: A bowl. In Portuguese, that is 'tigela'. Lucas: Yes. Tigela. Let us make a request. 'Eu preciso de uma tigela.' Lucas: Listen. Eu preciso de uma tigela. Luna: Eu preciso de uma tigela. I need a bowl. Lucas: Very clear. 'Preciso de' means I need. 'Uma tigela' is a bowl. Luna: Eu preciso de uma tigela. I love how straightforward that is. Lucas: It really is. So let us review our four phrases quickly. Luna: Ready. First: A panela está quente. Lucas: The pot is hot. Luna: Second: Onde estão os talheres? Lucas: Where are the cutlery? Luna: Third: Passa a colher, por favor. Lucas: Pass the spoon, please. Luna: Fourth: Eu preciso de uma tigela.
