Transcript
- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Portuguese with Fexingo! Episode 196 – can you believe it? Luna: I know, time flies. Last time we were at a pet shop, getting ração for a dog. Lucas: Right! And today I thought we'd go somewhere a lot of us end up: a clothing store. Luna: Oh, shopping! I'm always indecisive when it comes to picking clothes. But maybe in Portuguese I'll sound more confident. Lucas: Exactly. Let's start with the first thing you say when you see something you like: 'Eu quero experimentar esta camisa.' Luna: Eu quero experimentar esta camisa. So 'I want to try on this shirt.' Lucas: Exactly. Experimentar means to try on. Let's break it: Eu quero experimentar – I want to try on. Esta camisa – this shirt. Luna: Eu quero experimentar esta camisa. Got it. But what if the shirt is the wrong size? Lucas: Then you ask: 'Qual é o tamanho?' – What is the size? Tamanho means size. Luna: Qual é o tamanho? And if it's too small, I can say 'Tem um tamanho maior?' Lucas: Perfect! Maior means bigger. And if it's too big: 'Tem um tamanho menor?' – menor means smaller. Luna: Tem um tamanho menor? So I can ask for a bigger or smaller size. Lucas: Yes. Now, once you find the perfect fit, you need to know the price: 'Quanto custa?' Luna: Quanto custa? That's a classic. How much does it cost? Lucas: Right. And finally, when you're ready to pay: 'Posso pagar com cartão?' – Can I pay with card? Luna: Posso pagar com cartão. Good to know. I always use card. Lucas: Let's run through all of them. Repeat after me: Eu quero experimentar esta camisa. Luna: Eu quero experimentar esta camisa. Lucas: Qual é o tamanho? Luna: Qual é o tamanho? Lucas: Tem um tamanho maior? Luna: Tem um tamanho maior? Lucas: Tem um tamanho menor? Luna: Tem um tamanho menor? Lucas: Quanto custa? Luna: Quanto custa? Lucas: Posso pagar com cartão? Luna: Posso pagar com cartão? Lucas: Great! Now let's put them together in a mini-scene. You walk into a store and see a nice shirt. Luna: Okay, I'll be the customer. Bom dia! Eu quero experimentar esta camisa. Lucas: Claro! Qual é o tamanho? Ah, é pequeno. Tem um tamanho maior? Luna: Sim, aqui está. Perfeito! Quanto custa? Lucas: Cinquenta reais. Posso pagar com cartão? Luna: Sim, aceitamos cartão. Obrigada! Lucas: Excellent! You just shopped in Portuguese. Luna: That felt good. And you know what else feels good? That this podcast has no ads.

Luna: Every little bit helps us keep going. But for now, let's practice those phrases one more time. Lucas: Good idea. I'll say the English, you say the Portuguese: 'I want to try on this shirt.' Luna: Eu quero experimentar esta camisa. Lucas: What size is it? Luna: Qual é o tamanho? Lucas: Do you have a bigger size? Luna: Tem um tamanho maior? Lucas: Do you have a smaller size? Luna: Tem um tamanho menor? Lucas: How much does it cost? Luna: Quanto custa? Lucas: Can I pay with card? Luna: Posso pagar com cartão? Lucas: Perfect. Practice these before your next shopping trip.
