- Lucas: Olá, pessoal! Welcome back to Learn Portuguese with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Episode 199! We're almost at 200. Lucas: I know, so exciting. Today we're going somewhere practical: the gas station. Luna: Oh, good. I always feel a little lost when I need to fill up in a new country. Lucas: Exactly. So let's learn a few simple phrases. First one: Enche o tanque, por favor. That means 'Fill the tank, please.'. Luna: Enche o tanque, por favor. Enche o tanque. Lucas: Perfect. Enche o tanque, por favor. Now, you usually also need to specify what kind of gas. Say Gasolina comum, por favor. Regular gas, please. Luna: Gasolina comum, por favor. Comum like common. Got it. Lucas: Right. If you want premium, you can say gasolina aditivada, but comum is most common. Let's practice both together: Enche o tanque, por favor. Gasolina comum, por favor. Luna: Enche o tanque, por favor. Gasolina comum, por favor. Lucas: You're nailing it. By the way, if Fexingo has been helping you make progress with Portuguese, a couple of dollars a month is genuinely what keeps these going.

Lucas: So another useful phrase is Completo, por favor. That means 'Full, please.' You say it when you want the tank filled completely. Luna: Completo, por favor. So after saying 'Enche o tanque' you can add that. Lucas: Exactly. And then you'll likely hear Quanto custa? That's 'How much does it cost?' — very handy. Luna: Quanto custa? I know that one from before, but good to review. Lucas: Let's put it all together in a quick scene. Imagine you pull up to the pump. You say: Enche o tanque, por favor. Gasolina comum, por favor. Completo, por favor. Then the attendant fills it and says something, and you ask: Quanto custa? Luna: Enche o tanque, por favor. Gasolina comum, por favor. Completo, por favor. Quanto custa? That feels good. Lucas: And that's it. Simple, effective. Now you can fuel up with confidence. Luna: I feel ready for a road trip. Obrigada, Lucas! Lucas: De nada, Luna.
