Transcript
- Lucas: Hey there, welcome back to Learn Portuguese with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. We're so happy you're here with us again. Lucas: Last time we chatted about weekend activities. That was a good one. Luna: Yeah, I loved that. So today, maybe we can dig a little deeper into talking about what you like and don't like. Lucas: Exactly. Because when someone asks you what you do on the weekend, you want to say what you enjoy. Luna: Right. So how do I say 'I like to relax'? Lucas: Let's start with that. Eu gosto de relaxar. Luna: Eu gosto de relaxar. Lucas: Perfect. Eu gosto de relaxar. It means 'I like to relax.' Luna: Eu gosto de relaxar. That's easy. And I remember we had 'no fim de semana' from last time. Lucas: Yes, so you can say: No fim de semana, eu gosto de relaxar. Luna: No fim de semana, eu gosto de relaxar. Oh, that sounds nice. Lucas: It does. Now, what if you want to say you like to walk on the beach? Eu gosto de caminhar na praia. Luna: Eu gosto de caminhar na praia. Caminhar... that's 'to walk'. And praia is 'beach'. Lucas: You got it. Eu gosto de caminhar na praia. Luna: Eu gosto de caminhar na praia. That's my kind of weekend. Lucas: For sure. Now let's hear the negative. How do you say 'I don't like to wake up early'? Luna: Hmm, maybe 'Eu não gosto de acordar cedo'? Lucas: Perfect. Eu não gosto de acordar cedo. You add 'não' before 'gosto'. Luna: Eu não gosto de acordar cedo. That's a good one. I can use that every day. Lucas: I bet. So we have 'gosto de' and 'não gosto de'. Easy pattern. Luna: Yeah. So I could say: Eu gosto de cozinhar com a família. Lucas: Oh, you just used another one. Eu gosto de cozinhar com a família. That means 'I like to cook with the family.' Luna: Eu gosto de cozinhar com a família. That's fun to say. Lucas: And you remember from last time, we had 'assistir a um filme'? Luna: Yes. So 'I like to watch a movie' would be Eu gosto de assistir a um filme. Lucas: Exactly. Eu gosto de assistir a um filme. Luna: Eu gosto de assistir a um filme. That's a perfect lazy Sunday. Lucas: It is. Let's do a quick review. Can you say 'I like to relax'? Luna: Eu gosto de relaxar. Lucas: And 'I like to walk on the beach'? Luna: Eu gosto de caminhar na praia. Lucas: And 'I don't like to wake up early'? Luna: Eu não gosto de acordar cedo. Lucas: Fantastic. Now let's put it together. Imagine a friend asks: O que você gosta de fazer no fim de semana? Luna: Oh, that's 'What do you like to do on the weekend?' Lucas: Right. And you could answer: Eu gosto de caminhar na praia e cozinhar com a família. Luna: Eu gosto de caminhar na praia e cozinhar com a família. Lucas: Nice. You just combined two things with 'e'. Luna: So if I want to say I like to watch a movie and relax, I say: Eu gosto de assistir a um filme e relaxar. Lucas: Exactly. You're getting the hang of it. Luna: This is so useful. I can already imagine telling people about my weekend. Lucas: And if this is helping you make progress with Portuguese, that's what we're here for. Luna: Totally. If today's episode gave you something you can actually use, supporting the show keeps it going. Lucas: Right. You can buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo. That helps keep everything ad-free. Luna: Yeah, we appreciate it. Now back to our phrases. Let's say 'I like to relax' one more time. Lucas: Eu gosto de relaxar. Luna: Eu gosto de relaxar. Lucas: And 'I like to cook with the family'? Luna: Eu gosto de cozinhar com a família. Lucas: There you go. So next time someone asks you about your weekend, you're ready. Luna: I feel ready. Thanks, Lucas. And thanks to all our listeners. See you next time. Lucas: Practice these phrases, and we'll chat again soon. Tchau for now.
