- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Portuguese with Fexingo. I am Lucas. Luna: And I am Luna. Hey everyone. We are so happy to be here. Lucas: We have been talking about food and ordering out lately. Today we change gears slightly. Luna: Yes. We are going into the kitchen. Specifically, the tools we use. Lucas: Exactly. We will learn words for common kitchen items. This is very practical. Luna: I love this topic. I always lose things in my kitchen drawer. Lucas: Let us start with the most important item for cooking soup or stew. Luna: The pot? In Portuguese, that is "panela"? Lucas: Correct. Listen closely. "Panela". Luna: "Panela". Lucas: Good. Now let us make a full sentence. A common question you might ask. Luna: Where is the pot? That would be "Onde fica a panela?"? Lucas: Perfect. Let me say it slowly for you. "Onde fica a panela?". Luna: "Onde fica a panela?". Lucas: Excellent. Now say it normally. Keep the rhythm smooth. Luna: "Onde fica a panela?". Lucas: That was great. Let us try it again together. One more time. Luna: "Onde fica a panela?". Lucas: You are getting the hang of this. Imagine you are cooking dinner. Luna: I am looking for the big pot on the stove. I ask: "Onde fica a panela?". Lucas: Right. And if someone points to the cupboard, you find it. Nice work. Luna: Okay, next item. The cutlery. Forks and knives. Lucas: Yes. The word for cutlery or silverware is "talheres". Luna: "Talheres". Plural because there are many pieces usually. Lucas: Exactly. Listen. "Talheres". Luna: "Talheres". Lucas: Now let us build a sentence. You are setting the table. Luna: I need the cutlery. "Preciso dos talheres"? Lucas: Yes. "Preciso dos talheres" means "I need the cutlery". Luna: Let me practice. "Preciso dos talheres". Lucas: Very good. Slow down a bit. "Pre-ciso dos ta lhe res". Luna: "Preciso dos talheres". Lucas: Perfect flow. Say it one more time. Confidently. Luna: "Preciso dos talheres". Lucas: You nailed it. Imagine you are asking your partner to help you. Luna: Honey, please bring the forks. "Preciso dos talheres". Lucas: That works perfectly. Now, let us talk about safety in the kitchen. Luna: Oh, yes. Knives can be dangerous. What is the word for knife? Lucas: The knife is "faca". Singular form. Luna: "Faca". Lucas: Now let us describe it. Sharp. In Portuguese, "afiada". Luna: So, "The knife is sharp" becomes "A faca é afiada"? Lucas: Spot on. "A faca é afiada". Luna: Let me repeat. "A faca é afiada".

Cups. What do we call a glass in Portuguese? Lucas: A drinking glass is "copo". Luna: "Copo". Like a cup, but for water or juice. Lucas: Correct. Let us make a question. Where is the glass? Luna: "Onde está o copo"? Lucas: Yes. "Onde está o copo". Luna: Let me try. "Onde está o copo". Lucas: Nice. Repeat after me. "Onde está o copo". Luna: "Onde está o copo". Lucas: Again. With a little more energy. Luna: "Onde está o copo". Lucas: Great job. Imagine you are hosting a party. You need glasses for everyone. Luna: Hey, where is the glass? "Onde está o copo"? I need five more! Lucas: That sounds like a fun party. Finally, let us talk about spoons. Luna: Spoon is "colher". Right? Lucas: Yes. "Colher". Now, let us describe its size. Big. "Grande". Luna: So, "The spoon is big" is "A colher é grande"? Lucas: Perfect. "A colher é grande". Luna: Let me say it. "A colher é grande". Lucas: Listen closely. "A colher é grande". Luna: "A colher é grande". Lucas: One more time. Slow and clear. Luna: "A colher é grande". Lucas: You are doing amazing. Use this when comparing kitchen tools. Luna: This spoon is too small.
