Days of the Week in Portuguese (Essential Prepositions and History)

[@DagmarMetzler]

As I absolutely love history and culture, I am so enjoying your explanations. I know that learning a language can tell you much about the culture. So to learn these things along the way just gives a much richer feel for it all. Thank you!

[@mdojudmiah7876]

Really your videos are very useful for them who want to learn portuguese.

[@cyclenutter2715]

I think Portuguese is a loooovely sounding language, so here I am at the beginning! Cheers for the native help!

[@portuguesewithcarla]

Enjoy the journey 😊

[@Natalia-bw7iv]

SABADO and DOMINGO are my favorite days!!! 😃❤️💙

[@justinpatrick1974]

I learned a different history. That the days corresponded with different markets. So The fact that it corresponds with days of rest is surprising but it makes much more sense to me. Thank you

[@arlingtonguy54]

This kind of content makes learning Portuguese more enjoyable

[@tarponjohn]

absolutely love your presentations....my goodness you have a lovely smile too....I'm learning fast with you coach

[@LoveLifeG]

Muito Obrigado Carla! You're channel is fantasic..i am actually sitting here in a nepalese restaurant in lisbons anjos neighborhood studying with you! I started watching your videos 1 or 2months ago in west africa. Now i am here in your country utilizing all that i have learned from you plus google translate

[@portuguesewithcarla]

Olá, Abdul! Muito obrigada ☺️ Great to hear you’re now in Portugal and able to put into practice what you’ve already learnt from us as well as learn a lot more Portuguese, because being in the country of the target language is the best scenario possible! Bons estudos 😊

[@unhappygilmore7129]

Appreciate you very much, now I am learning the language of my forefathers.

[@johnmeyer2072]

I got your Resources PDF and have been listening to a number of your You Tube videos and will be going to Portugal for two weeks on August 8. I'm e-mailing you with this question but also wanted to know: What would be my best preparation for a tourist? I'm scouting the country out to see if I would want to retire there. Thanks if you have time to answer this.

[@crystaleldridge3988]

Thanks so much for this! If you haven't already, I would LOVE a video to help with the dropping of vowels in the words. I struggle with that mightily.

[@cbsteffen]

Days of the week in Portuguese have Catholic names instead of Pagan ones as usual for Romance languages. The names of weekdays refer to days-off on either Holy Week or Easter Week (whichever is correct) that at least used to apply in Portugal (and probably still do). I guess the reason Saturday is still called “the Sabbath” and Sunday is still called “the Day of the Lord” in Portuguese is that those names wouldn’t seem to violate Catholicism.

Every video of yours i watch twice, first i just watch you interact with me mostly with your eyes , then i try to learn but it is so hard to concentrate . I Love You. keep up the good work.

If you need someone to proof your English, let me know. I'm an English teacher and I have seen 2 mistakes by 5:03 in the video. Otherwise, it's very nice to watch and listen to your clips. :-)

[@Theyoutuberpolyglot]

I think the correct sentence should be “ The meeting will be scheduled for next Thursday “. However she is talking about a past event, and not a future event. How about this one ?“ The meeting has been scheduled for next week”.

[@patrickhobbs3962]

@@Theyoutuberpolyglot In fact, the problem here is simply that Thursday is written "Thrusday". The tense depends on context, so "has been" could be correct instead but "was" seems fine. ;-)

[@Theyoutuberpolyglot]

@@patrickhobbs3962 Lol, you are very attentive. That was a careless mistake. I didn't notice that. You focus on details. That is a sign of high intelligence.

Estimabel professora : Eu son un espanhol da Andaluzia que nos continos viagems ao Portugal (ao menos um ao ano) e grazas a que eu son de cheio un apaixonado da Galiza sempre fixen por falar cos os moradores ou bem de Portugal ou de Galiza na súa lingua. Se ao fin eu poidera desenvolverme en Galego,¿en que grau o capacidade eu estaria para atingir un ótimo nível en português?

[@Theyoutuberpolyglot]

Ignacio, el gallego es un idioma que se asemeja mucho al portugués. Sin embargo no es suficiente para comunicarte. Si ya sabes gallego, se te hará sencillo entender a un portugués hasta cierto grado. Me temo que tienes que aprender el idioma por completo. Obviamente que la comprensión oral y la escrita te resultará bastante más fácil que alguien que tenga el inglés como lengua materna. Si estudias mucho, quizás logres hablar portugués fluentemente en menos de 6 meses.

[@rojlingo]

seguna=duşem terça=sêşem qurata=çarşem quinta=pêncşem sexta=în sabado=paşîn domigo=yekşem I found this very similar to my native language Kurdish du mean two its like second in segundo and its like it goes same way du=2 sê=3 çar=4 pênc=5 for Sunday we say yekşem yek=1 and in Portugese these days seems like segundo =2 terça=3 quarenta=4 quinze=5 sexta=6 infact we say şeş for 6 and there are many more word similarity between Kurmanckî (zazaki ) dialect of Kurdish and Portugese

[@portuguesewithcarla]

How interesting! Thanks for sharing that 😀 Yes, in fact the abbreviations for the weekdays are basically the ordinals numbers. Normal numbers accompanied by a small horizontal line with a little “o” or “a” on top. There is one exception though, third = terceiro/a and Tuesday = terça But the “normal” or cardinal numbers would be: 2 - dois/duas 3 - três 4 - quatro 5 - cinco 6 - seis (incredible similar to șeș!)

Então, os portugueses admitem que descansarem seis dias por semana e depois queixam-se de que os outros dizem que serem preguiçosos?

[@portuguesewithcarla]

😁 olá, Kamenko. Se nós, portugueses, fôssemos realmente preguiçosos não teríamos feito um vídeo de 8 minutos!! só para ensinar os dias da semana em português 😜

[@portuguesewithcarla]

Já agora, se me permite, deixe-me dar-lhe uma dica: acho que o senhor está a colocar os verbos no modo conjuntivo por causa da palavra “que”, mas esta palavra não exige exclusivamente o uso deste modo. No seu comentário, as ações “admitem que descansam” e “outros dizem que são preguiçosos” são expressas como factuais, por isso deve usar o modo Indicativo.

[@kamenkokasikovic2499]

@@portuguesewithcarla Querida Karla. Para nós, eslavos, o vosso conjuntivo é mais um pesadelo do que uma forma verbal. : (((
