Transcript
- Lucas: Hey Luna, ready for another episode of Learn Portuguese with Fexingo? Luna: Yeah! I loved learning the months last time. I still remember janeiro, fevereiro... Lucas: Nice! Today we're going to learn numbers 11 to 15 in Portuguese. Luna: Oh, numbers! I already know 1 to 10 from before. Lucas: Perfect, then this will be easy. Let's start with 11: onze. Luna: Onze? Lucas: Yeah, onze. It sounds like 'own-zee'. Luna: Onze. Onze. Lucas: Great! Now 12: doze. Luna: Doze. Like 'doh-zee'? Lucas: Exactly. Doze. Luna: Doze. Lucas: Now 13: treze. Luna: Treze. That's like 'treh-zee'. Lucas: Yes. Treze. Luna: Treze. Lucas: 14: catorze. Luna: Catorze. 'Cah-tor-zee'. Lucas: Right. Catorze. Luna: Catorze. Lucas: And 15: quinze. Luna: Quinze. 'Keen-zee'. Lucas: Perfect. Quinze. Luna: Quinze. Lucas: Let's review all together: onze, doze, treze, catorze, quinze. Luna: Onze, doze, treze, catorze, quinze. Lucas: Awesome! Now let's use them in a sentence. Imagine someone asks how old you are. Luna: How do I say 'I am 11 years old'? Lucas: You say: Eu tenho onze anos. Luna: Eu tenho onze anos. That's 'I have eleven years' literally, right? Lucas: Exactly. In Portuguese, you 'have' age. So for 12: Eu tenho doze anos. Luna: Eu tenho doze anos. Lucas: For 13: Eu tenho treze anos. Luna: Eu tenho treze anos. Lucas: 14: Eu tenho catorze anos. Luna: Eu tenho catorze anos. Lucas: 15: Eu tenho quinze anos. Luna: Eu tenho quinze anos. So if I'm 15, I say that. Lucas: Yes. Now let's practice with objects. Think of the fruits we learned: maçã, banana, laranja. Luna: Right. How do I say 'I have 11 apples'? Lucas: Eu tenho onze maçãs. But careful – maçãs is plural. Luna: Eu tenho onze maçãs. Lucas: Good. And 12 bananas: Eu tenho doze bananas. Luna: Eu tenho doze bananas. Lucas: 13 oranges: Eu tenho treze laranjas. Luna: Eu tenho treze laranjas. Lucas: Let's try a quick dialogue. I'll ask: Quantos anos você tem? How old are you? Luna: Eu tenho quinze anos. Lucas: And I say: Eu tenho trinta anos. But thirty is another episode! Luna: Oh, so I can say my age now. I'm 15? Or should I say I'm 11? Lucas: It's up to you! Let's do both. You say: Eu tenho onze anos. Then I'll ask how many apples you have. Luna: Eu tenho onze anos. Lucas: Quantas maçãs você tem? Luna: Eu tenho quinze maçãs. Lucas: Nice! So you combined numbers and fruits. Luna: Yeah! Onze, doze, treze, catorze, quinze. I think I got them. Lucas: Let's do one more review. Repeat after me: onze. Luna: onze. Lucas: doze. Luna: doze. Lucas: treze. Luna: treze. Lucas: catorze. Luna: catorze. Lucas: quinze. Luna: quinze. Lucas: Excellent! Now you can count to 15 in Portuguese. Luna: That was fun. I'll practice saying my age and counting things around the house. Lucas: Great idea. Keep practicing with Fexingo, and we'll see you next time. Tchau! Luna: Tchau!
