Transcript
- Lucas: And we are back! Welcome to episode 167 of Learn Portuguese with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Hey Lucas, you know what I've been craving? A pastel de nata. Lucas: Oh, that sounds perfect. We actually taught that in episode 162, and then we reviewed it in 166. But you know what? Let's do a quick refresher today. Because repetition is key. Luna: Totally. I still mess up the order sometimes. Like, do I say 'frio' or 'quente' first? Lucas: You can say either, but let's practice the whole thing. So, imagine you're at a pastelaria. You walk in and see the counter full of pastéis de nata. What do you say? Luna: Uhh... Eu quero um pastel de nata. Lucas: Yes! Eu quero um pastel de nata. Perfect. Now, the person asks you something. They might ask 'Quente ou frio?' So you need to choose. Luna: Right. I like them warm, so I'd say... Quente, por favor. Lucas: Exactly. Quente, por favor. Or if you want it cold, you say Frio, por favor. Let's hear both. Luna, you try. Luna: Frio, por favor. And Quente, por favor. Lucas: Beautiful. Then after they tell you the price, you ask...? Luna: Quanto custa? Lucas: Nailed it. Quanto custa? So the whole exchange: Eu quero um pastel de nata. Quente, por favor. Quanto custa? Luna: I love that. It's so simple. Let me say it all together: Eu quero um pastel de nata. Quente, por favor. Quanto custa? Lucas: That's it. You're ready. And if you want it cold, just swap in 'Frio'. Luna: Eu quero um pastel de nata. Frio, por favor. Quanto custa? Lucas: Perfect. Now let's do a little role-play. I'll be the vendor. You come up to the counter. Luna: Okay. Olá! Eu quero um pastel de nata. Quente, por favor. Lucas: Sim, senhora. São dois reais. Luna: Quanto custa? Oh, you already said. So I'd just say 'Aqui está' or something. Lucas: Exactly. So you hand over the money. Now let's switch. You be the vendor. Luna: Okay. Olá! O que deseja? Lucas: Eu quero um pastel de nata. Frio, por favor. Luna: Sim. São dois reais. Lucas: Quanto custa? Ah, you already told me. So I'd just pay. But that's the phrase. Luna: Right. So we've got the whole order down. By the way, Lucas, I've been thinking — Fexingo has been helping me make real progress with Portuguese. Like, I actually feel confident ordering now. Lucas: That's great to hear. And you know, a small group of listeners already chips in monthly through buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo. That's what keeps this show ad-free and going. Luna: Yeah, it's a nice way to support if you're able. Means a lot to us. Lucas: Absolutely. But let's keep practicing. So, Luna, how would you say 'I want a cold pastel de nata'? Luna: Eu quero um pastel de nata frio. Lucas: Close! But careful: pastel de nata is masculine, so it's 'frio'. But you said it right. Just remember, the adjective matches. 'Pastel de nata quente' or 'pastel de nata frio'. Luna: Right. Pastel de nata quente. Pastel de nata frio. Lucas: Yes. And if you want to say 'a hot one', you can also just say 'um quente'. Luna: Oh, like 'Eu quero um quente'? Lucas: Exactly. Very common. 'Eu quero um quente, por favor.' Or 'um frio'. Luna: That's handy. So I could just say 'Eu quero um quente'. Lucas: Yes. And then 'Quanto custa?' So: Eu quero um quente. Quanto custa? Luna: Eu quero um quente. Quanto custa? Lucas: Perfect. Let's do a full dialogue again. I'll be the customer. You be the vendor. Luna: Okay. Olá! O que deseja? Lucas: Olá! Eu quero um pastel de nata quente, por favor. Luna: Sim. São dois reais. Lucas: Quanto custa? Ah, dois reais. Aqui está. Luna: Obrigada! Volte sempre. Lucas: Obrigado! So that's a full exchange. And we've practiced 'Eu quero um pastel de nata', 'Quente, por favor', 'Frio, por favor', and 'Quanto custa?'. Luna: I feel good about this. Can we do one more quick round? Lucas: Sure. You order a cold one this time. Luna: Eu quero um pastel de nata frio, por favor. Lucas: Ótimo. And how much is it? Luna: Quanto custa? Lucas: Dois reais. Luna: Aqui está. Lucas: Perfeito. You're ready for the pastelaria. Keep practicing these phrases, and next time you're in Portugal or Brazil, you'll order like a pro. Luna: Thanks, Lucas. This was fun. Until next time, pessoal! Lucas: See you soon. Practice those phrases!
