[@learneuropeanportuguese]

Wow, that's great! Such a charming town!

[@erniemajor]

I hoped to learn more about the famous custard??

You are right! I should make a video about our pasteis de nata!

We spent last summer in France and Portugal. The food in France was overall disappointing (were our expectations too high?). But the food in Portugal - Fantastica! Best bread I've ever had - every day!! Looking forward to going back!

[@learneuropeanportuguese]

Thanks for the comment and totally agree!

[@guyosborn615]

French food, when I was a child (60 years ago) was fabulous but it has declined in recent years (the same with Italy). Spanish food is always good (I've not been to major resorts by the sea) and my one day in Portugal (Vila Nova de Cacela) in a very touristy place, was superb. I'm looking forward to my next longer visit and trying lots of foods. Thank you for another useful video.

[@the_anthonymarino]

Loved this video..Very helpful! The frequent use of portuguese words while explaining the culture- Fantástico!...Subscribed!

[@learneuropeanportuguese]

Obrigada!

[@karenlowe4412]

I love the lessons that describe the culture because it gives me a story I can relate to and remember more easily.

[@learneuropeanportuguese]

Obrigada Karen! I always try to add cultural insights when possible.

[@evelinebronsveld1559]

Do you say Faz favor or por favor? I hardly ever eat out being a coeliac, but I try to make the dishes myself with gluten free ingredients. On Madeira I found that waiters don’t really understand what gluten free means. I have only eaten espetada and milho frito which I did enjoy and didn’t make me ill. Feliz Novo Ano de Escócia

[@learneuropeanportuguese]

You can say both! "Se faz favor" is a more formal "please" as in "if you please", while "por favor" is less formal and more common. You are right, the concept gluten free isn't very well known overall in Portugal, specially in smaller areas. I did find out recently from a student that is coeliac that McDonald's in Portugal does have gluten free burgers. Feliz ano novo!!!

[@evelinebronsveld1559]

@@learneuropeanportuguese I know I think everywhere the beef patty is gluten free but only a few places also have a gluten-free bun. Good to know that I could get a gluten free hamburger in Madeira

[@Theyoutuberpolyglot]

As vezes dizemos “ Desculpe” em vez de esse olhe. Esqueci-me de dizer que eu adoro a sopa com couves 🥬 . É uma sopa de trás de orelha. Tendes que provar essa sopa.

[@learneuropeanportuguese]

Sim podemos usar o "desculpe" também. Eu também adoro sopa, principalmente nos dias de inverno quando está frio. Boas festas!

[@Grumpycat0405]

thank you very much. you are so helpful. is there a difference between gostava and gostaria?

[@learneuropeanportuguese]

Obrigada Edith! Technically you can use "gostava" and "gostaria" both as "I would like", since the Portuguese love to use the imperfect tense with the meaning of conditional. I would say it's much more common to hear "gostava" than "gostaria" because this last one is more formal.

[@Hyp0crite.00]

Hello/ ola, Sandra. I have a question to you. Is it possible to run a food truck business in Portugal with English only. Obviously, I will learn basic Portuguese.

[@learneuropeanportuguese]

Hello! I would say that it depends on where you plan on selling. If in a very touristy area, you should be fine, but I do think that knowing some basic Portuguese will help you. Don't forget you will have to speak to various vendors for your truck and many might not even speak English. Also, look into the permits, I don't thing it's as easy as in the US to get one. Boa sorte!

Deveria de ser “ Eu quereria” em vez de queria, mas pronto, nós as vezes usamos o pretérito perfeito simples e o condicional com o mesmo significado. Muitas pessoas dizem “ Eu gostava de ter um carro”. No meu modo de ver, é mais correto dizer” Eu gostaria de comprar um carro”. Gostaria inmenso que alguém me explicasse porque nós comutámos/ intercambiamos esses dois textos verbais em algumas circunstâncias. Não em todos os contextos. No entanto é aceitável dizer “ Eu gostava de/ eu gostaria de. Acho que “ Eu gostava de” é informal e “eu gostaria de” é mais correto, formal, é uma linguagem para os peritos/ espertos da língua portuguesa que gostam de empregar um registro formal.

[@learneuropeanportuguese]

Olá! Nós usamos o pretérito imperfeito com valor de condicional principalmente oralmente, o que pode ser confuso para quem esteja a aprender a língua. O único caso em que o uso é exclusivo do condicional é para indicar ações posteriores à época de que se fala. Aqui vai um exemplo: Começou como estagiário e alguns anos mais tarde seria promovido a diretor.

[@Theyoutuberpolyglot]

Conta tem dois significados. A conta- The Bill and an account. I would like to open an account in this 🏦 bank, please. Gostaria de abrir uma conta neste banco 🏦, se faz favor. Don’t mixed/muddled them up. Uma conta bancária- Talvez ajude a diferenciar estes dois termos ou estás duas palavras.

[@learneuropeanportuguese]

Sim, tens razão "conta" tem vários significados. Outro é ainda o equivalente a "math problem".

[@Theyoutuberpolyglot]

@@learneuropeanportuguese sim, fazer contas.
