- Lucas: Hey everyone, welcome back to Learn Portuguese with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna! Episode 154 — can you believe it? Lucas: I know, we've come a long way. Today we're going to learn about something delicious: pastéis. Luna: Pastéis? Like the fried pastries? Oh, I love those! Lucas: Exactly. A pastel is a crispy, fried pastry with different fillings. Very popular in Brazil. Luna: Okay, I need to know how to order one right now. Lucas: Alright, first phrase: Eu quero um pastel. That means 'I want a pastel.' Say it with me: Eu quero um pastel. Luna: Eu quero um pastel. Lucas: Good. Now, a pastel can have many fillings. So you need to ask: Qual é o recheio? — 'What is the filling?' Luna: Qual é o recheio? That's a mouthful. Qual é o recheio? Lucas: You got it. Common fillings: de carne — beef, de queijo — cheese, de frango — chicken. Luna: De carne, de queijo, de frango. Okay, I think I got it. Lucas: So you can say: Eu quero um pastel de queijo, por favor. Or Eu quero um pastel de carne. Luna: Eu quero um pastel de queijo. That sounds good. And if I want it freshly fried? Lucas: Then you say: Frito na hora, por favor. That means 'fried at the moment,' so fresh. Luna: Frito na hora. I like that. So the whole order: Eu quero um pastel de queijo, frito na hora, por favor. Lucas: Perfect! Now let's practice a little dialogue. I'll be the vendor. You come and order. Luna: Okay. Eu quero um pastel. Lucas: Qual é o recheio? Luna: De frango, por favor. E frito na hora. Lucas: Muito bem! You just ordered a chicken pastel, fresh fried. Luna: That was fun. I can already taste it.
