I have been learning Portuguese for over 7 years and only encountered this tense when I asked my friend about her family in Portugal and she said “obrigada por perguntares” it took me ages of googling to work out what this tense usage was, and no other education materials had taught me this tense! Here you are again teaching what is often left out!

Strange. So how have you beeen learning Portuguese for 7 years? You never grabbed a textbook or did a classroom course? All European Portuguese textbooks I know teach Infinitivo Pessoal and any B level course does that, too.

Hi Sandra. I had to watch this 3 times for the information to fully go in but what a wonderful video. This is so useful. This sort of conjugation doesn’t even come up when you use translator apps, even specialist ones like DeepL. This seems almost too easy. However I do have a couple questions I hope you can answer 1. In one example “Trouxe pipocas para comermos” you use para, but in another example “Agora é possível estarmos todos juntos outra vez!” You didn’t use a preposition such as para. Why is that? 2. In your sentence “É melhor saírem depressa, há um fogo!”, why does sair become sa(í)r. How do i know when to add the accent to a character. Desde já, Obrigado. Espero que esteja bem.

@learneuropeanportuguese 9 ай бұрын

Olá Reece! The Infinitivo pessoal is used with prepositions (para, por, sem, até, ao...), fixed expressions with prepositions (depois de, antes de, em vez de, apesar de...) and Impersonal constructions Ser + adjective (É possível, é provável, é importante...). So that is why "Agora é possível estarmos todos juntos" goes with infinitivo pessoal. Your second question has to do with the conjugation of "sair", this verb has an accent in many of its conjugations. www.infopedia.pt/dicionarios/verbos-portugueses/sair

@ReeceJCoxy 9 ай бұрын

@@learneuropeanportuguese so when using the construct of ser + adjective. The verb does not require the use of a preposition to precede it?

The example -- ao chegares -- has the same form and meaning as the future subjunctive.

@learneuropeanportuguese 2 жыл бұрын

"Ao chegares" and "Quando chegares" have the same meaning but it's not the same verb tense, you are right. "Ao chegares" is Infinitivo Pessoal and "Quando chegares" is Futuro do Conjuntivo. While with many verbs the conjugation is the same, try using the verb "Fazer" to see how it changes. "Ao fazeres" vs "Quando fizeres".

Portuguese (Galician) & Sardenian are the only Indo-European languages with personal infinitive.

@will7922 2 жыл бұрын

@@laratorresmarques9474 In Hungarian when an infinitive is used with an impersonal verb, the personal suffixes may be added to the infinitive to indicate the person, as in Portuguese. Except in the 3rd person singular and plural, the -i of the infinitive is dropped, e.g. Mennem kell. ("I have to go."). The person can also be indicated using -nak/-nek, e.g. Nekem kell mennem. ("I have to go.), Jánosnak mennie kell ("János has to go.")

Unrelated, but is Popcorn countable in European Pt? My Brazilian friend always uses the singular *pipoca* as a mass noun, but should I use pipoca when refering to a piece of popcorn and pipocas to a whole bag?

@learneuropeanportuguese Жыл бұрын

In Portugal we have the plural “pipocas”. So if you like popcorn 🍿 the common way to say it is use the plural. Adoro pipocas. Hope this helps!

What's the difference between: É melhor saírem depressa... vs. É melhor que saiam depressa (conjuntivo do presente)? Is it totaly the same or is there a nuance? Does it depend on the general language level or personal expression style?

@learneuropeanportuguese 2 жыл бұрын

Olá Heiko! Thanks for asking, both sentences have the same meaning and can be used interchangeably. I would say the Presente do Conjuntivo might sound a bit more formal but both are correct and used in daily conversations. This happens with any impersonal expression such as: é melhor, é importante, é provável, é agradável, é improvável... If you add the word "que" after you will need to use Presente do Conjuntivo. Hope this helps!

@heikoobermeit782 2 жыл бұрын

@@learneuropeanportuguese to me it is not gramaticaly satisfying that they mean the same and are interchangeable but it's OK. This is not possible:"É melhor que saírem depressa..." right?

@learneuropeanportuguese 2 жыл бұрын

@@heikoobermeit782 correct. The use of "que" triggers a different tense. The more you learn about the Conjuntivo you will see that in many cases there are different ways of saying the same thing. It takes time and persistence. Continuação de bom trabalho!

Armand, it really helps those of us who are English speakers who are just beginning to learn Portuguese to understand the concepts. I think it will continue to be helpful as we learn more because language grammar is so complex. I appreciate that it is spoken in English. If Sandra spoke in Portuguese, I would never understand it.
