Been on an "ora essa" spree since yesterday 😁

@@AxeDharme DrAxe, 'ora essa' can be understood as 'nonsense' as well, along with a tonal pejorative inflection on 'essa'...

@@AxeDharme It's a bit formal, ahaha. It's sort of a 'geeky' expression.

I'm glad you are here!

Ela vai ter muito sucesso com o seu canal. Custa-me muito acreditar que ela seja inglesa. Ela fala português muito bem. Além disso sabe algumas expressões que não se aprendem em nenhum curso de português. Nota-se que ela tem muito carisma, e uma grande paixão pela nossa língua. Admiro muito as pessoas como elas. Eu sempre pensei que ninguém tivesse interesse em aprender a nossa variante: português europeu. Pessoas como ela há poucas. Ela é mesmo 5 estrelas. Ela vai ser muito grande, sim senhora. Eu vou partilhar agora mesmo este vídeo com todas as minhas midias sociais.

Haha thanks so much! Obrigada mesmo

@@TalktheStreets De nada/Não há de quê. Mesmo is also another filter that we use. Tu és mesmo gira- You are indeed a pretty girl. A propósito, o meu nome é José.

@@TalktheStreets You are our Orange blossom! Continue o excelente trabalho. 😘🌺🌼

Theyoutuberpolyglot Tens razão, o português europeu (que eu prefiro) é mais raro no internet.

Exactly!

And Epá! Epá, fogo, pá! You can make entire sentences out of these expletives.

Yay you are welcome, Stephen! I'm so happy to have you here. What is your motivation for learning European Portuguese?

You're so welcome!

Glad it was helpful!

Welcome!!

Thank you for stopping by! New episodes every Tuesday!

I'm so glad its helping! Have you downloaded my pronunciation tips? what did you think?

Thanks so much! Thank you for checking out my channel x

Thank you! 😃

Thanks girl!

I am considering it for next year!

Gracias, Gloria!!

Great idea! Just ask for the livro de reclamações and they will suddenly want to help! I'll put it on the list x

good question! I always thought it might have to do with it being short for coisa or ideia, which are both feminine. Maybe @theyoutuberpolyglot knows?

Boa Liz 😄is the short form for boa idea

Great to see you here again! Yes, olha is informal, and olhe is formal It's the imperative, saying to someone "look!"

That is why. She is blowing my mind away. I am impressed with her knowledge of my native language. It makes me happy when I hear a non-native speaker speaking my native language so well. I thought nobody cared about European Portuguese.

@@Theyoutuberpolyglot That my friend is at least partly, a marketing issue. Native Portuguese needs to be put out more into the world to turn it from a hidden gem to a worldwide phenomenon. It's quite lopsided and sad how although Portuguese is the 5th most spoken language in the world, yet those outside of active learners barely know anything about it at all.

@@AxeDharme I also teach my native language, and other languages as well on my polyglot world. My goal is to motivate native English speakers to learn at least one foreign language. At the moment, I only speak 6 languages. I know, I can't speak all the languages on this planet, nevertheless, I am able to learn the most important languages. Yes, My native language is the 5th most spoken language in the world. 1. Chinese and its dialects- Mandarin is the major dialect in China. 2. English 3. Spanish 4. Arabic 5. Portuguese 6. French 7. Russian Italian and French are easy languages for me. I am currently learning Russian. That language is tough. Portuguese is not difficult to learn. Look on the bright side. 1. Same alphabet 2. We have a bunch of English words or words which are not complicated to recall or retrieve, For example, Cinema, Tv, rapido, centro, dieta, chocolate, assimilar etc. For instance," tu" is easy to remember if you associate that word with to- The pronunciation, it's the same. I didn't know "Linda" was an English name, in my native language means " Beautiful", pretty. A useful tip from me is to associate words that you already know with new words. Turn those false cognates into true friends. Livraria doesn't mean library, but you can think " Library is a shop full of books" Bookshop or bookstore. Library means Biblioteca. Uma biblioteca está cheia de livros. Parentes doesn't mean parents, but relatives. Pais mean parents- Two fathers- pais+es= paises in English mean " Countries". If you use your imagination or picture a language like a puzzle, it will be much easier to learn. I have been learning languages for around/about 10 years. I have never been tired of learning new languages.

Yes the Brazilians use gente to say "we"

But with the definite article "a": a gente ...

Hello Paul First some corrections: “ótimo vídeo”, “a frase”, “quer” not quere. “Pois bem” is somewhat a more formal or old-fashioned way to introduce a “consequence” sentence. E.g. “Caro amigo, sei que espera de mim boas notícias, pois bem tenho a honra de anunciar que o contrato foi aprovado.” Something like “My dear friend, I know you are expecting good news from me, so it is a honor to announce the contract has been approved.” In this case, “pois bem” translates as a “positive” so. [sorry my bad english]

Pronto is when you are ready to do samething.

ahah per noi dovrai dire "estou? o "estou sim?"" - ìl nostro "pronto" per il cellulare ahaha

Hey Olivia! I will do this for sure, it is already on my list. Could you send me a DM on Facebook (Talk the Streets) so we can talk more?

I wasn’t sure if you’d answer back, of course!🤗 thank you!

Claro!

As a native speaker "Olhe, não dá jeito" sounds super Portuguese! You can even add "nenhum" at the end. "Olhe, não dá jeito nenhum!" like "Look, that doesn't work/that won't do/that's not practical", etc

Olaaaa! xx

We use that a lot when you hurt yourself in a car crash for example. You hurt yourself but it could be worse, you might have died! It's not offensive at all!

@@JoseSilva-cv2wf Maybe you didn't get it. In english, "há piores" sounds offensive. (Ah e eu sou português, sei bem o que estou a dizer)

@@williamgraendel1628 ahahahah! Now I get it!

I have done one video on being polite here! Speaking on the phone is another good one to do :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g9uCeKtm0uC-pJc.html

That's because the way we say execuse me ("com licença") literally means "with [your] permission". When we hang up the phone saying "com licença" it's as if you're asking the person for permition to do so (it's a bit ironic because we're just taking the permition to do it regardless of anything, really). That's also the way it is intended to sound when we say "com licença" asking people to make way for us to pass, when we say it to take up the word, interrupting someone... We are asking for permition to do it. Actually in situations you'd say "exuse me" in English because you are offended we don't use the same expression because it wouldn't make sense to ask permition for anything there. We say "peço desculpa", which has more the sense of "I'm sorry"/"I beg your pardon".

Ok, she talks “southern portuguese”, that spoken in the south half of Portugal including obviously Lisbon.

Agree. Liz might be a proud brexiteer
