Transcript
- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Portuguese with Fexingo, episode 171. I'm Lucas, and with me is the always curious Luna. Luna: Hey Lucas! You know, I've been craving something sweet all day. I think it's time we revisit that pastel de nata again. Lucas: Oh, I love that. Pastel de nata is always a good idea. So today, we're going to review how to order it, so you can walk into any bakery in Portugal and say... Lucas: Eu quero um pastel de nata. Luna: Eu quero um pastel de nata. That means 'I want a pastel de nata.' Right? Lucas: Exactly. Let's break it down: Eu quero is 'I want', um is 'a', and pastel de nata is the custard tart. Now you try saying it slowly. Luna: Eu quero um pastel de nata. Eu quero um pastel de nata. Lucas: Nailed it. Now, after you say that, the baker might ask you something like 'Frio ou quente?' That means 'cold or hot?' So you can reply... Lucas: Quente, por favor. Or Frio, por favor. Luna: Quente, por favor. Hot, please. And Frio, por favor. Cold, please. I think I'd go with quente, warm and fresh. Lucas: Good choice. Then you'll want to ask the price. The phrase is 'Quanto custa?' Luna: Quanto custa? How much does it cost? Simple. Lucas: Yep. And after you pay, don't forget to say 'Obrigado.' Luna: Obrigado. Thank you. Okay, let me try the whole thing. Eu quero um pastel de nata. Quente, por favor. Quanto custa? Obrigado. Lucas: That was perfect. Let's do a quick role-play. I'll be the baker, you be the customer. Ready? Luna: Ready. Lucas: Bom dia! O que deseja? Luna: Eu quero um pastel de nata. Quente, por favor. Lucas: Claro. São dois euros. Frio ou quente? Luna: Oh, I already said quente. But I'll repeat: Quente, por favor. Quanto custa? Lucas: Dois euros. Luna: Obrigado. Lucas: De nada. Perfect! You handled that like a pro. Luna: Thanks! You know, these review episodes really help solidify the phrases. I feel like I could actually order one now. Lucas: That's the goal.
