The Power of the Verb "Chegar" in Portuguese 🇵🇹

[@kapado690]

My wife is going to love this channel. Actually Portuguese from Portugal she can learn!

[@learneuropeanportuguese]

That’s awesome 👏 thanks for sharing!!

[@barrieh]

How "chegar" evolved into so many usages is beyond belief! Thanks for going over the many ways it is used.

[@learneuropeanportuguese]

You’re welcome! True, the different meanings are always tricky for students.

Hi dear I am a student of Portuguese at Camões. Please tell me affordable book for giving b1 level exam

[@LARAZAOLVIDADA]

Your English is perfect! I usually use your videos to improve it ;)

[@learneuropeanportuguese]

Thank you! I have friends in Portugal that watch my videos to learn English too!

[@peterpeteru1135]

Muito interessante!!! Gostei!!!

[@learneuropeanportuguese]

Muito obrigada!

[@chadb7694]

Obrigado e saudações de NY....were you raised speaking both languages?

[@learneuropeanportuguese]

De nada! I was born in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Moved to Portugal at age 9 and currently back in the US in California 😊

@@learneuropeanportuguese I'm at a high A2 level. It's challenging choosing to focus on European vs Brazilian. The latter seems to eclipse the Lusophone world. I can't seem to choose one or the other lol.

How does an intransitive verb of "arrive" get to be a transitive verb of "pass" or "hand" or "approach"???

[@OphirYahav]

Muito obrigado pelo video muito util e todos os examplos no conteudo. If I want to ask someone (at the Time Out Market in Lisbon for example) "Would you mind moving a little to the left?", what should I ask : (a) Importa-se de se *chegar* um pouco para à esquerda ?" or (b) "Podia *desviar-se* um pouco para ...." ? Muito obrigado mais uma vez.

[@learneuropeanportuguese]

Olá! Both options are correct 👍 muito bem!

[@kamenkokasikovic2499]

Nunca cheguei ao fim de aprender português.😪

[@learneuropeanportuguese]

Chegar ao fim! Boa expressão também. Boa semana!

[@sarahfazakerley8826]

That was great, as usual, thanks. However, the English phrase about blowing your own trumpet is more about 'virtue signalling' or boasting , publicly extolling your achievement, not so much about protecting or furthering ones own interest like pushing sardines. We'd say, 'looking after number 1" for being selfish.

[@learneuropeanportuguese]

Thanks for the info!

[@dovygoodguy1296]

Maybe it helps to know that chegar = llegar in Spanish....(Why is ch the same as ll )?

[@learneuropeanportuguese]

Many ll words in Spanish have the equivalent ch in Portuguese.

[@trismegian2410]

Is it rude to use chegar at a meal to say that you're full? (I.e. when you're invited and you are supposed to be polite). Thanks from Italy

[@Konginho]

I would say "Estou satisfeito" to indicate that I am full.

[@trismegian2410]

@@Konginho thanks, precious suggestion, I wouldn't want to seem impolite..

[@learneuropeanportuguese]

We use chegar a lot when people are serving you. You can respond “Já chega, “já é suficiente” or even “ assim está bem”. To say you are full, you can say “estou cheio/a”.

[@norsk2910]

Give the lesson in Portuguese.

Olá! Tenho muitos vídeos no meu canal todos falados em português. Deixo-te aqui um kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqG2qIhpqtpliacsi=sW5fc927bauSqIRq Quando ensino um tópico gramatical, gosto de o explicar em inglês para ajudar o aluno a entender o que estou a ensinar. Muitos dos meus seguidores são iniciantes e nunca perceberiam um vídeo destes se fosse todo explicado em português. Continuação de bons estudos!

You forgot "please".
