And today we're going somewhere practical — the airport. Perfect if you're planning a trip. Luna: Ohh, I love that. I've got a trip coming up, actually. Lucas: Nice! Well, if Fexingo has been helping you make actual progress with this language, a quick thing — a handful of listeners chip in monthly through buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo, and that literally funds making this many episodes. No ads, just listener support. Luna: Yeah, it's pretty cool that people do that. Keeps the show going strong. So... airport! What's first? Lucas: First, you need your passaporte. That's 'passport'. Luna: Passaporte. Sounds like passport but with a Portuguese twist. Lucas: Exactly. So at the check-in counter, the agent might say: Posso ver seu passaporte? — 'Can I see your passport?' Luna: Posso ver seu passaporte? Let me try: Posso ver seu passaporte? Lucas: Perfect. And you'd reply: Aqui está. — 'Here it is.' Luna: Aqui está. That's easy. Aqui está. Lucas: Then they might ask about your voo — that's 'flight'. For example: Qual é o seu voo? Luna: Qual é o seu voo? So 'what is your flight?' Lucas: Right. And you'd say the flight number, like: Meu voo é o 123. Luna: Meu voo é o 123. Simple. Lucas: Then they'll ask about your malas — 'luggage' or 'suitcases'. Quantas malas? — 'How many suitcases?' Luna: Quantas malas? Hmm. If I have one, I'd say: Uma mala. Lucas: Exactly! Uma mala. Two would be: Duas malas. Luna: Duas malas. Got it. Lucas: Finally, they give you your cartão de embarque — 'boarding pass'. Luna: Cartão de embarque. That's a mouthful. Cartão de embarque. Lucas: You'll hear: Aqui está seu cartão de embarque. — 'Here is your boarding pass.' Luna: So I'd hand over my passport and say: Aqui está. And they give me the cartão de embarque. Lucas: Exactly. Let's run through a mini scene. I'll be the agent. Posso ver seu passaporte? Luna: Aqui está. Lucas: Qual é o seu voo? Luna: Meu voo é o 456. Lucas: Quantas malas? Luna: Uma mala. Lucas: Aqui está seu cartão de embarque. Luna: Obrigada! That felt real. Lucas: It did! And now you have those phrases. Practice them before your next trip. Luna: I will. Thanks, Lucas. And thanks, listeners, for joining. See you next time! Lucas: Até logo! And remember, if you want to support the show, it's buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo.
