Latest / Learn Portuguese with Fexingo / Portuguese Weather – Tempo Quente
Transcript
- Lucas: Hey Luna, ready for another episode? We've been talking about routines and weekdays lately, but today I thought we'd switch it up a bit. Luna: Ooh, I love new topics. What are we diving into? Lucas: Weather – specifically hot weather. We covered cold and snow in episode 200, so now let's warm up a little. Luna: Oh, perfect timing. It's been super hot lately, and I keep wanting to say something about it in Portuguese. Lucas: Then you're in luck. Let's start with the simplest phrase: Está quente. It means 'It's hot.' Say it with me: Está quente. Luna: Está quente. Lucas: Exactly. And if you want to be more specific about the sun, you can say Está fazendo sol – 'It's sunny.' Luna: Está fazendo sol. Lucas: Perfect. Now, a fun one – when it's this hot, you might want to suggest going to the beach. Vamos à praia! – 'Let's go to the beach!' Luna: Vamos à praia! I love that. It just sounds like summer. Lucas: It does, right? And you can even say whether you like the heat or not. Eu gosto do calor – 'I like the heat.' Luna: Eu gosto do calor. Lucas: Or the opposite: Eu não gosto do calor – 'I don't like the heat.' Luna: Eu não gosto do calor. Hmm, I'm still deciding which one I am. Lucas: Let's practice them all in a little scene. Imagine it's a super hot day and you're talking to a friend. Luna: Okay, I'm ready. Lucas: I'll start. Está quente hoje, né? Luna: Sim, está fazendo sol! Lucas: Vamos à praia? Luna: Boa ideia! Eu gosto do calor. Lucas: That was great. You used three of our phrases naturally. Luna: Oh, I did, didn't I? This is fun. Let's keep going. Lucas: Let's do one more round, slower. Repeat after me: Está quente. Luna: Está quente. Lucas: Está fazendo sol. Luna: Está fazendo sol. Lucas: Vamos à praia! Luna: Vamos à praia! Lucas: Eu gosto do calor. Luna: Eu gosto do calor. Lucas: Eu não gosto do calor. Luna: Eu não gosto do calor. Lucas: Beautiful. Now, you know what? If you're enjoying these episodes and they're helping you make progress with Portuguese, it would mean the world if you considered supporting us. Just head over to buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo. Honestly, if today's little lesson was worth a coffee to you, that's the place. Luna: Yeah, every little bit helps us keep making these free lessons. And it means a lot to us. Lucas: Totally. Now, back to the heat – so, Luna, which of these phrases do you think you'd use most on a hot day? Luna: Definitely Vamos à praia! I mean, who doesn't want to escape the heat at the beach? Lucas: Fair enough. And I'm a Eu gosto do calor kind of person, honestly. There's something cozy about a warm day. Luna: I guess I can see that. But if it's too hot, you might hear me saying Eu não gosto do calor. Lucas: And that's totally okay. You can express both. Let's try a quick quiz. I'll say an English phrase, and you shout the Portuguese. Ready? Luna: Ready. Lucas: It's hot. Luna: Está quente. Lucas: It's sunny. Luna: Está fazendo sol. Lucas: Let's go to the beach! Luna: Vamos à praia! Lucas: I like the heat. Luna: Eu gosto do calor. Lucas: I don't like the heat. Luna: Eu não gosto do calor. Lucas: Nailed it. You're on fire today. Luna: Well, it's hot outside, so I guess that's fitting. Lucas: Good one. Let's do one more little scene. You're at a park with a friend, and it's a scorcher. Luna: Okay, I'm imagining it. Lucas: Está quente demais. Luna: Pois é, está fazendo sol. Lucas: Eu não gosto do calor. Luna: Eu também não. Mas vamos à praia? Lucas: Perfeito. Luna: That felt so natural. I love that we can have a mini conversation now. Lucas: And that's exactly what you can do on a hot day in Portuguese. Remember, practice these until we chat again. Luna: Thanks for learning with us. Até mais!
