Transcript
- Lucas: Hey Luna, welcome back to Learn Portuguese with Fexingo. Luna: Hey Lucas! Oh, I'm so ready. Last time we chatted about streaming shows, and I've been practicing all those greetings and goodbyes. Lucas: That's great to hear. Today, we're keeping it super tiny but mighty. Just four little words that'll make your Portuguese sound polite and clear. Luna: Oh, I love that. What are they? Lucas: Yes, no, please, and thank you. That's it. We'll take them one by one, repeat a bunch, and do a tiny scene. Sound good? Luna: Totally. Let's start with yes. Lucas: Perfect. In Portuguese, yes is 'sim'. Say it slowly with me: sim. Luna: Sim. Lucas: Exactly. Now at normal speed: sim. Luna: Sim. Oh, that's easy. Lucas: It is. And no is 'não'. Slowly: não. Luna: Não. Lucas: Right. Normally: não. Luna: Não. Got it. Lucas: Now please is 'por favor'. Break it down: por favor. Luna: Por favor. Lucas: Good. Normal pace: por favor. Luna: Por favor. That sounds so polite. Lucas: It does. And thank you has two forms, like we saw earlier. For a man or someone masculine, it's 'obrigado'. Slowly: obrigado. Luna: Obrigado. Lucas: For a woman or someone feminine, it's 'obrigada'. Obrigada. Luna: Obrigada. Wait, so I'd say obrigada since I'm Luna? Lucas: Exactly. You got it. Normally: obrigado and obrigada. Luna: Obrigado, obrigada. Okay, let me try them all. Sim, não, por favor, obrigada. Lucas: Ahh, yes! Nailed it. Now, tiny scene time. Imagine we're at that bakery from episode three, and you're ordering a coffee. Luna: Oh, fun. I'll be me, you be the barista. Lucas: Deal. Bom dia! Tudo bem? Luna: Bom dia! Tudo bem, obrigada. Um café, por favor. Lucas: Sim, claro. Here you go. Luna: Obrigada. Lucas: De nada. See? You used obrigada, por favor, and sim all naturally. Luna: That was smooth. I feel like a pro. Lucas: You are. Let's recap with a quick quiz. I'll say something in English, you give the Portuguese. Luna: Bring it on. Lucas: Number one: yes. Luna: Sim. Lucas: Right. Number two: no. Luna: Não. Lucas: Exactly. Number three: please. Luna: Por favor. Lucas: Totally. Number four: thank you, if you're a woman. Luna: Obrigada. Lucas: Perfect. And if you're a man? Luna: Obrigado. Lucas: There you go. You aced it. Luna: Oh that's so good. These little words really tie everything together. Lucas: They do. Practice sim, não, por favor, and obrigado or obrigada this week. Mix them with your bom dia and tudo bem from earlier episodes. Luna: Will do. Thanks for another great lesson, Lucas. Lucas: Obrigado to you too, Luna. And thank you to everyone listening to Learn Portuguese with Fexingo. Keep practicing these tiny words, and we'll see you next time.
