- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Portuguese with Fexingo. I am Lucas. And this is episode two forty five. We are picking up right where we left off in the kitchen. Luna: Hi everyone! I am Luna. Yes, last time we talked about pots and cutlery generally. But today, we need to be more specific. Cooking can get dangerous if you do not know the right words. Lucas: Exactly. Safety first. Let us start with something very common. When a pot is on the stove, it gets hot. How do we say that? The phrase is: A panela está quente. Luna: A panela está quente. Okay. Let me try. A panela está quente. Did I get the rhythm right? Lucas: You did. Very clear. 'A panela' means the pot. 'Está' is is. 'Quente' is hot. So, 'The pot is hot.' Repeat it with me. A panela está quente. Luna: A panela está quente. Oh my gosh. It sounds so simple, but I want to make sure I pronounce 'quente' correctly. It has that soft ending. Lucas: Right. Just keep it light at the end. A panela está quente. Good. Now, imagine you are cooking dinner. You reach for a spoon, but it is missing. Where are the utensils? We say: Onde estão os talheres? Luna: Onde estão os talheres? That means where are the utensils? Or cutlery? Lucas: Yes. Cutlery, silverware, utensils. 'Onde estão' is where are. 'Os talheres' is the cutlery. Let us practice. Onde estão os talheres? Luna: Onde estão os talheres? I love that word. Talheres. It feels fancy when I say it. Onde estão os talheres? Lucas: It does sound elegant. Especially when you are asking your partner to find them. Onde estão os talheres? Perfect. Now, let us move to the table setting. Sometimes you just need a spoon to pass across the table. You say: Passa a colher, por favor. Luna: Passa a colher, por favor. To pass the spoon, please? 'Colher' is spoon? Lucas: Yes. 'Colher' is spoon. 'Passa' is pass. 'Por favor' is please. So, pass the spoon, please. Try it. Passa a colher, por favor. Luna: Passa a colher, por favor. I feel like I am hosting a dinner party. Passa a colher, por favor. It is so polite. Lucas: It is very polite. And useful. Finally, what if you are making cereal or soup? You need a bowl. We say: Eu preciso de uma tigela. Luna: Eu preciso de uma tigela. I need a bowl. 'Tigela' is bowl? Lucas: Yes. 'Tigela' is bowl. 'Eu preciso de' is I need. So, I need a bowl. Let us put it all together. Eu preciso de uma tigela. Luna: Eu preciso de uma tigela. I like that one too. Tigela. It sounds round when I say it. Eu preciso de uma tigela. Lucas: That is a great way to remember it. Round sound for a round object. Eu preciso de uma tigela. Excellent work today. You now have four key phrases for the kitchen. Luna: I feel so ready to cook. Or at least set the table without causing an accident. A panela está quente. I will remember that one. Lucas: Safety first. Luna, before we go, I wanted to mention something important about how we keep this show going. Luna: Oh? What is it?
