- Lucas: Hey everyone, welcome back to Learn Portuguese with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Episode 163, can you believe it? Lucas: I know. And today we're going to a place we've touched on before but never focused on: ordering a beer at a bar. Luna: Oh nice. I love a good cold beer. So, what's the first thing I say? Lucas: Simple: 'Eu quero uma cerveja.' Just like that. 'Eu quero uma cerveja.' Luna: Eu quero uma cerveja. Eu quero uma cerveja. Lucas: Perfect. That's 'I want a beer.' Now, if you want it really cold, you can say 'Uma cerveja bem gelada.' Luna: Uma cerveja bem gelada. That sounds refreshing. Lucas: Exactly. 'Bem gelada' means very cold. So let's put it together: 'Eu quero uma cerveja bem gelada.' Luna: Eu quero uma cerveja bem gelada. Got it. Lucas: Great. Now, maybe you want to ask what brands they have. You can say 'Qual é a marca?' Luna: Qual é a marca? What's the brand? Lucas: Right. And they might answer 'Temos Skol, Brahma, Antarctica...' So you can choose. Or you can just say 'Uma cerveja, por favor.' Luna: Uma cerveja, por favor. Nice and simple. Lucas: Exactly. Let's practice a mini conversation. I'll be the bartender. You walk in. Luna: Okay. Eu quero uma cerveja bem gelada, por favor. Lucas: And I say 'Qual é a marca?' Luna: Hmm, qual é a marca... Skol, por favor. Lucas: There you go. 'Skol, por favor.' Perfect. Luna: So I can just say the brand and 'por favor'. Lucas: Absolutely. Now let's do it again, but this time you ask for a beer without specifying the brand. Luna: Uma cerveja, por favor. Lucas: And I hand you a beer. Easy. Luna: I love how simple that is. So really, the key phrases are 'Eu quero uma cerveja', 'Uma cerveja bem gelada', 'Qual é a marca?', and 'Uma cerveja, por favor.' Lucas: You got it. And remember, you can always say 'por favor' to be polite. Luna: Alright, I'm ready to order a beer in Portuguese!

Luna: I can't wait to try this for real. Thanks, Lucas! Lucas: You're welcome. Practice these phrases, and next time you're out, you'll be ready. Até mais, pessoal! Luna: Tchau!
