Transcript
- Lucas: Luna, ready for another episode of Learn Portuguese with Fexingo? Luna: Yes! I've been practicing. Last episode we talked about avô and avó. Today, what's new? Lucas: Today we're going to review something tasty — ordering a pastel. Remember that? Luna: Oh yes! Pastel is that fried pastry, right? With different fillings. Lucas: Exactly. And we learned how to order one. Let's start with the basic phrase: Eu quero um pastel. Luna: Eu quero um pastel. Lucas: Perfect. That means 'I want a pastel.' Now, if you want to ask about the filling, you say: Qual é o recheio? Luna: Qual é o recheio? That's 'what is the filling?' Right? Lucas: Yes. And to answer, you can say 'De carne, por favor' for meat, or 'De queijo, por favor' for cheese. Luna: De carne, por favor. De queijo, por favor. Lucas: Great. And if you want it fried fresh, you can add 'Frito na hora, por favor.' That means 'fried right now, please.' Luna: Frito na hora, por favor. I love that. Lucas: Now, when you're ready to pay, you ask: Quanto custa? Luna: Quanto custa? How much does it cost? Lucas: Exactly. Let's put it all together in a little scene. Imagine you're at a pastel stand. You walk up and say: Eu quero um pastel. Luna: Eu quero um pastel. Lucas: The vendor asks: Qual é o recheio? Luna: De carne, por favor, e frito na hora, por favor. Lucas: Then they tell you the price, and you say: Quanto custa? They say cinco reais. You hand over the money. Luna: That sounds easy! I can do that. Lucas: You did great. Now, let's practice once more. Repeat after me: Eu quero um pastel. Luna: Eu quero um pastel. Lucas: Qual é o recheio? Luna: Qual é o recheio? Lucas: De carne, por favor. Luna: De carne, por favor. Lucas: Frito na hora, por favor. Luna: Frito na hora, por favor. Lucas: Quanto custa? Luna: Quanto custa? Lucas: Excellent! You're ready to order a pastel in Portuguese. Luna: And you know what?
