5 Practical Situations in European Portuguese you NEED to Prepare For! (Essential Phrases)

[@DagmarMetzler]

Liz, we love the practical tips that really stick! So cute the "inho" tips. In Swabian German, we like go put a "le" (pronounced "leh") on the end of things. I love that the Portuguese do it this way. Tschuessle! Tchauzinho!

[@DagmarMetzler]

"to put"...

[@TalktheStreets]

Love that!

[@estherloya6364]

Omg, I’m so glad I found you. I’m going to Portugal in October and your lessons will definitely help me. Muito obrigada!

[@TalktheStreets]

I'm so glad!

Love learning the little extras and not just strictly textbook. Great job!Looking forward to more.

[@TalktheStreets]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MarkHolbrook-c9j]

I loved this video, thank you. Not only useful phraes, but the pronounciation and when to use them. Having recently been to lisbon i find many in the service industry are brazillian, so its pointless asking how they would pronounce things

[@TalktheStreets]

You're very welcome!

Thanks again

Ola, I'm a goan Portuguese

Adding the suffix "inho" to words conveys affection or a diminutive sense, e.g. for café (coffee), bolo (cake), João (John), carro (car): cafézinho = "little coffee," bolinho = "little cake," Joãozinho = "little John", carrinho = little car. "-ito" adds a playful endearing tone, e.g., cafézito, bolito, Joãozito; it can also convey weakness in a teasing sentence: carrito = a weakish car. "-ão" augmentates, e.g., cafézão = "big coffee," bolão = "big cake," Joãozão = "big John"; it can also convey amazingness: carrão = an awesome car. And it does not stops here.. where "-ito" has both a playful and diminuitive tone adding "-eco" gives just a teasing tone: "carreco" (a car that is nothing special).

Another comment on tipping. I took my hosts out for a meal in February and went to pay the bill, and told the staff to keep the change. "What's that for?" the man asked with incomprehension. This was in the backwoods of the north east, so it may be that tipping is more common in the Litoral or Algarve.

Obrigada

[@TalktheStreets]

De nada!

[@ColinSmith2001]

This is a few years back now, but I remember often leaving the change as a tip in the cafe, maybe like 83c and my Portuguese friends being scandalized - It's FAR too much, take those coins back, 13c will be plenty! 😂

[@33nguyenhuuthang31]

I simply want to learn portuguese as a second language, so should i learn european portuguese and Brazilian portuguese?

[@TalktheStreets]

Hi! It depends on your goals: are you going to visit Brazil or Portugal? Where will you be spending more time? Do you have connections in these countries?

[@33nguyenhuuthang31]

@@TalktheStreets i supose not cuz i love learning new language

[@SYigit]

@@33nguyenhuuthang31If I were you, I would just listen to both languages from native speakers and decide according to which one sounds nicer for me. Because writing is quite similar, pronunciation is different. By the way there are lots of content for brazilian portuguese however limited for european.

[@PedroSabido122]

@@33nguyenhuuthang31it depends… if you want to come to Portugal you have to learn the European Portuguese… It depends on your goals. In Portugal we speak European Portuguese… you can always learn both.

[@andreapereira1426]

My husband is Portuguese & we have been together 7 years & will move to central Portugal next year. I am at the point where I understand quite a lot & know many words. Linking the words together to make conversation is another matter & the whole idea of trying fills me with nerves & dread😢

[@suzannfulbright5652]

Expat bubble, LOL.

[@irinasamana]

It was great, if you speak more Portugues and less English.

[@orlandomontfort5101]

There no such thing as European Portuguese of indeed Brazilian, Angolan, Mizambique Portotuguese, there is ONLY PORTUGUESE! It's as stupid as saying American, Canadian or Australian English.

[@markbr5898]

Can have a guess as to where Portotuguese is spoken?

[@lmxtn1]

no one said they are separate languages. they are different dialects and accents that appeared due to historical, cultural, and geopolitical influences. same with English. so no need to be rude, you surely know that there are differences between Brazilian and other variations of Portuguese.

[@hannahwalmer1124]

@@lmxtn1what he’s saying is that it makes no sense to distinguish the language from its place of origin. This would be Portuguese, and the one spoken in America would be Brazilian Portuguese. The ones spoken in Mozambique and Angola would be Angolan Portuguese and Mozambican Portuguese. Etc.

[@jamesb8011]

Makes sense to distinguish as other platforms don't and then you find out its Brazilian Portuguese when your girlfriend says you've learned all the wrong dialect 😅😅

[@shadowguy55115]

@@hannahwalmer1124 The one Portuguese spoken in America would not necessarily be Brazilian Portuguese. There are some Brazilians who speak Brazilian Portuguese here in the Northeast section of the USA. However, in area, there are many immigrants from continental Portugal and from the Azores and these people do not speak Brazilian Portuguese. David Franco-Rocha
