- Lucas: Bem-vindos de volta ao Learn Portuguese with Fexingo! I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna! Hey, Lucas, I was thinking about our last episode—we talked about being scared or embarrassed. Lucas: Right, 'com medo' and 'com vergonha'. And today we've got another emotion. A strong one. Luna: Oh, I think I know what it is. Is it anger? Lucas: You guessed it. Today we're learning how to say 'I'm angry' in Portuguese. And I want to say, if Fexingo has been helping you with emotions like these, a small group of listeners supports the show at buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo. It keeps us ad-free and honest. Luna: Yeah, it's really cool that people chip in. So, what's the phrase? Lucas: Alright. The main phrase is 'estou com raiva'. Let's break it down slowly. Estou... com... raiva. Luna: Estou com raiva. That literally means 'I am with anger', right? Lucas: Exactly. So if you're angry, you say 'estou com raiva'. Try it, Luna. Luna: Estou com raiva. Lucas: Perfect pronunciation. Now, imagine you're at a restaurant and the order is wrong. You might say 'Estou com raiva'. Luna: Estou com raiva! But wait, is there a softer way to say it? Like 'I'm upset'? Lucas: Yes! You can say 'estou chateado' if you're a man, or 'estou chateada' if you're a woman. Chateado means upset or annoyed. Luna: Estou chateado. Estou chateada. So 'chateado' ends with O for men, A for women. Lucas: That's it. Let's practice: you're stuck in traffic. How do you feel? Luna: Estou chateada. Lucas: Nice. Now a question: 'Por que você está com raiva?' That means 'Why are you angry?' Repeat it. Luna: Por que você está com raiva? Lucas: And you can answer with 'estou com raiva porque...' and then the reason. For example, 'Estou com raiva porque o trânsito está parado.' That's 'I'm angry because the traffic is stopped.' Luna: Estou com raiva porque o trânsito está parado. That's a mouthful! But I can see how it works. Lucas: Let's do a mini scene. Luna, you're my friend who just spilled coffee on my shirt. Luna: Oh no! Desculpa, Lucas! I'm sorry! Lucas: Estou com raiva! Just kidding—I'm not really. But you could say 'estou chateado' if it was an accident. Luna: Okay, so if I'm the one who spilled, I'd say 'Estou chateada' because I feel bad. Lucas: Exactly. So let's review. Luna, how do you say 'I'm angry'? Luna: Estou com raiva. Lucas: And 'I'm upset'? Luna: Estou chateado. Lucas: Or 'estou chateada' for women. And how do you ask 'Why are you angry?' Luna: Por que você está com raiva? Lucas: Great. Now, let's put it all together. Imagine you're at a store and the cashier gives you the wrong change. You could say: 'Estou com raiva porque o troco está errado.' Luna: Estou com raiva porque o troco está errado. Lucas: Perfect. So today we learned 'estou com raiva', 'estou chateado/chateada', and 'por que você está com raiva'. Practice these, and next time you're feeling angry, you'll know what to say in Portuguese. Luna: And hopefully you won't need to use them too often! Até logo, pessoal! Lucas: Até logo!
