  • GENDER of NOUNS in BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE - Probably you have already noticed that Portuguese nouns have genders: they are either masculine or feminine (or both!!!). How can you tell the gender of a noun then? How to know if a word is masculine or feminine in Brazilian Portuguese? In today's class, we will cover part of it. We will see a few rules with examples related to occupations. Today you will learn that:
    - some occupations have specific words for masculine and feminine forms
    - others can be easily transformed from the masculine form into the feminine one (and vice-versa)
    - and finally, some will remain exactly the same regardless of the gender
    When it comes to the gender of nouns, my suggestion is (and will always be) to learn them little by little through examples. Try to identify some patterns. Be aware of the exceptions 😉
    👍Thank you for watching and choosing to learn Portuguese with me!

    oi bea tudo bem, portuguese can be challenging language with so much changes to certain palavras, i guess one just have to try and memorize the rules

      Oi, Carl! Long time no see! 😊
      The best approach is to give it a try. Once you see you got it right, create at least 5 different sentences using that word, in order to learn it by using it.

    I've been struggling with this one ALOT, very often I would use Masculine when I should be using Feminine, for a newbie, I always feel bad when I make such a mistake.. Thank you Bea for making this video!

      It is not an easy matter to learn. There are some patterns, some exceptions...and in some cases, it is totally random. I always recommend to learn them little by little and practice a lot!!!! 😉

      @@PlainPortuguese agreed! recently whenever I use a word that ends with 'a'/'r'/'es'/'e' I always pause and ponder whether the word is masculine or feminine, then I just look it up

      Tell me about it! When I try (I said 'try') to speak Spanish I kind of butcher the language 😬

    • @rentaroominnyc
      @rentaroominnyc Před rokem

      I would not say confusing. Anyone who speaks fluent Spanish and is interested in Portuguese will have an easy time learning the new language.

      I laughed!! 😂
      I think you already are a comedian!! 😂

    • @PlainPortuguese
      @PlainPortuguese  Před 2 lety

      @You can eat in class!! Sim sim, você está certíssimo. Deveria ser 'Eu sou comediante.' Só faria sentido dizer 'Eu sou um comediante' se a frase continuasse. Por exemplo, 'Eu sou um comediante muito engraçado.' ou 'Eu sou um comediante profissional.'
