"Como está a mãe" would only be said by a sibling to another, because it's assumed that "a mãe" - the mother - is both theirs. If one is inquiring after someone's mom, not our own - one must add "a tua" - your mother. Como está A TUA(/SUA) mãe? In very informal contexts, where the "asker" knows the mother in question or has a relation with the son, where concern for his mother may be appropriate, "como está a mãe" may be used, but it's not common. Maybe with older people, but definitely not a usual occurrence. ;-) As for the weather... colloquially we don't really say those sentences. We may complain that it's really hot/cold - "está imenso/tanto calor/está tanto frio!", or "o tempo está muito agradável (pleasant/agreeable)". "Kidad tem?" "Tem nUvidades"? Love the videos! Keep them coming. ;-)

Caro Carlos, sei que ainda há muitos sorrisos bonitos em Lisboa. Infelizmente não estou lá para apreciá-los

[@vcarvalho193]

Can I help a little bit to sound more natural? If you say 'Como está a mãe?' it implies you are very close or belong to the family (brothers/cousins/someone related to the mom). If not, you should use 'tua/sua mãe' thus must you say 'Como está a tua (informal) a sua (formal) mãe?' About the wheather you can 'compose' what you are saying by adding the word 'tão' then you say 'Que tempo tão frio/quente/chuvoso!' etc. About 'bebé', we open both 'e', like 'bébé'. Funny a brasilian would close both 'e', like the french would... In the pronuntiation of 'foram' we change the 'am' into 'ão' pronouncing 'fourão'. About regards to family '[Eu] mando cumprimentos à (open) família' ou just 'Cumprimentos à família' (most common use) . Please do not take the above words wrong, I just love your classes and I try to help. That's all. keep going!

It would be really helpful in the future if you can also give translations to what youre saying!

For now I'm just typing each sentence into google translate so I can write down the meaning as well :/

In Brazilian Portuguese we use to say "Como está sua mãe?" instead of "Como está a mãe?" In pt-br, we write "bebê" instead of "bebé" although pronunciation is the same. There are some other differences as well.

Yes. I, as a Swede who has been living in Brazil for 5 years, agree with you. When I visited Portugal about one year ago I struggled a bit during the first couple of days to comprehend while having conversations, but later it was fine. For a native Brazilian I am sure it is much easier. Oh, and the Portuguese people understood my broken Portuguese without any problems.

The word «bebé», despite only having accent in the last «e», is basically said the same in both syllables. «Bébé»... «Mande cumprimentos À família», you wrote it properly but closed the «a» instead of «Ah!», like in «Mande cumprimentos AH! família»... It's not exactly the same «A», is the same as in «Action», similar, without all the «ction»... :D You still have, at least at the time of this video, a bit of difficulty in some nasal sounds, «ão», «em», etc., but with time everything comes...

Explico melhor: Se a pergunta é feita por um irmão a outro, diz-se "como está a mãe?". Ela é mãe do que pergunta e do que responde.

Parabéns! Vídeos como os seus são muito úteis, bem-vindos e necessários! Muito obrigado! Não leve a mal o meu "longo" comentário mas é só para ajudar! Por exemplo, essa sua expressão "que bebé tão fofo" é pouco usada em Portugal! Talvez se use mais no Brasil! Mais comum será dizer-se que "bebé tão bonito", "que lindo bebé", "que maravilha... (de bebé)", ou "que jóia... (de bebé)"! Mas é comum ouvir-se "que bebé fofinho!" Também não diga "bebé", mas sim "bébé" com ambos os "és" bem abertos e com a mesma ênfase! O "lh", "nh" e o "r" duplo ou no início de uma palavra mais desafios são para estrangeiros e não só! Pergunte à malta de Setúbal ou a alguns lisboetas! Mas para estes está tudo bem! Você precisa de "molhar" o "lh" um nadinha mais... quer dizer a sua língua precisa de se encostar mais ao maxilar inferior, chão e lados da boca, logo atrás dos dentes antes de expulsar o ar quando pronuncia a sílaba "lho" em "filho"! Ah! Mas que "chato" estou a ser! Desculpe!

The student needs to develop his or her own individual learning system adapted to your daily routine, area of activity, rhythm of life, interests, etc. First of all, you need to understand what problems are preventing you from learning a foreign language effectively. There is a lot of good material for learning a language on the Internet, but many people don't know how to use it as effectively as possible. However, the practice of Yuriy Ivantsiv "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign language" will help you structure and organize your individual language learning process, allow you to find a method of language learning that will be interesting and unencumbered. Also, subscribe to this channel, because here the author puts very useful videos on learning a language! Thank the author of the channel for the great work in the creation of training videos!

Nice video. I am a bit confused by the last one. It almost sounds Brazilian. I remember hearing European Portuguese use things like "estou a pensar" while Brazilians would use "estou pensando". Is there a guide to when to use the "ando" in European Portuguese like you did at the end with "vamos falando"?

[@TalktheStreets]

The Portuguese won't use the gerund when talking about something that is actually happening right now, they will use "estar + a + infinitive" e.g. estou a escrever (I am writing) but it can be used in other contexts that are more formal, or this one is simply a colloquial phrase.

When I was at school we used to say “swap’ without the ‘out’. This is an unusual linguistic development as it requires more effort to express the same thing. Languages usually develop the other way, speakers naturally want to reduce the amount of effort used to express any given concept. I only mention it because I note it’s becoming more pervasive. I can only put it down to U.S. English influence.

Not necessarily. It depends on context. Both can be used. If both people know that they don't have the same mother, the possessive is not required, but it also depends how well you know the person and if there was a specific medical condition with the said mother.

[@Palmieres]

I'm sorry, but you're wrong and she's right. Native Portuguese person here, and we absolutely DO ask "How's mother?" even if the mother in question isn't "our" mother, but only theirs. It's not always done, and it's usually done when the person asking is very familiar with the mother herself, but we really ask the question like this at times.

[@hannahwalmer1124]

@@timedeiross This is wrong in Portuguese from Portugal. In PT-PT, you must always include the pronoun before the possessive and use the right conjugations for the respective subject. So, it should actually be "Como está a tua mãe?" e "como está o teu pai?" For "how are you?" it would be "como estás tu?" using the conjugation for the second person singular. You could also ask "Como é que tu estás" in order to put the "tu" before the "estás".
