Just the right time for this for me - obrigada senor

[@jessedavidschell6492]

This is lesson is packed with useful information. This will be used on a daily basis so it will be easy to remember. It was interesting to learn that the word “feira” may have come from an old word for workday. How interesting!

I suspect I'll be fluent in Portuguese by August 34th.

[@SimpletonPortuguese]

We should all throw you a "welcome to Portuguese fluency" party on August 33rd.

[@sultanriazkhan260]

Great but sure wish there was an option to slow down the speed especially on difficult sounding words such as Verao (summer)

Tudo bem 🧐👍👍👍

Tudo bem!

I wonder why "Today is August 19th" is using "Sao" ("third party plural form" ) instead of "E" (third party singular form) ? Obrigado

[@SimpletonPortuguese]

You use the plural form with all days except for the 1st. What you are literally saying with "Hoje são 19 de agosto" is "Today it's 19 (days) of August".

@@SimpletonPortuguese Muito obrigado pela explicação !

[@leviathon2]

Why do we use são when asking what day it is? Day is singular, no?

[@SimpletonPortuguese]

Do you mean in "Quantos são hoje?" I translated it as "what day of the month is it today?" but the Portuguese sentence doesn't have the word "dia". The literal meaning is "how many are today?".

[@leviathon2]

My head hurts.......

[@SimpletonPortuguese]

@@leviathon2 I'm sorry. :(

[@kotsunia]

"Messes" how can't you say that?

[@ronalbars]

When an S is alone it has a Z sound , when there is 2 S(ss) it has a SSSS sound.

[@420olof2]

so nowadays, portuguese people still think that the Sunday is the start of the week, is it right?

[@SimpletonPortuguese]

No. Our weeks start on Monday like everyone else's. We're used to calling the first day "segunda" and don't even think about it.

[@SimpletonPortuguese]

I'll try to speak slower in later videos. Obrigado for your feedback.
