| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |

| Braden: Brands and fashion are very important in Brazil. There are many brands and quite a few regional brands. |
| ---: Brazilians tend to be very nationalistic and there are price breaks for Brazilian brands and products and extra taxes and tariffs for foreign made products. |
| Braden: This makes foreign fashion like the stuff shown off in paris and italy sometimes as much as 400% more expensive than what they are in the United States. |

| VOCAB AND PHRASE USAGE |
| Braden: Let's have a closer look at the usuage for some of the words and phrases from this lesson. |
| ---: The first phrase we'll look at is me trouxe, |
| Braden: me trouxe literally translates to "me brought" but it means "brought me." |
| ---: As we've pointed out before, direct object pronouns tend to be placed before the verb in Portuguese as opposed to after the verb in English. |
| Braden: could you break this down? |
| ---: (break down) |
| Braden: what's our next phrase? |
| ---: The next phrase we'll look at is irmã mais nova. |
| Braden: Irmaã mais nova literally translates to "sister more new" but it just means "younger sister." |
| ---: We rarely say irmã or irmão menor in the sense of "little brother" or "little sister." Usually we say mais novo or mais jovem. |
| Braden: could you break this down? |
| ---: (break down) |
| Braden: what's our next phrase? |
| ---: The next phrase we'll look at is não servir nela, |
| Braden: não servir nela literally translates as "no to serve on her" but it means "don't fit her." |
| ---: Servir means "to serve" and in this context it's using the "serve a purpose" sense. não serve nela means that for her, they don't serve their purpose because they don't fit. |
| Braden: Could you break this down? |
| ---: (break down) |
| Braden: what's our next word? |
| ---: The next word we'll look at is inverter-se. |
| Braden: inverter-se looks like it literally translates to "to invert oneself" but it really translates to "is reversed." |
Lesson focus |
|---|
| Braden: So ---, what's the focus of this lesson? |
| ---: The focus of this lesson is dar, dizer, trazer in the preterit. In the dialogue, we heard the phrase Eu dei até o ano passado. Agora ela disse que as minhas roupas não servem mais nela. |
| Braden: Which we translated as "I did until last year. Now she said that my clothes don't fit her anymore." |
| ---: So, Dar behaves like an -er verb in the pretérito perfeito (except in the first person singular). So, we'll talk about it first. |
| Braden: Then we'll talk about Dizer and trazer because they are similar in the pretérito perfeito in that the first and second person singular forms are the same. Could you give us the conjugations for the verb dar in the preterit tense? |
| ---: Sure. eu dei você deu , nos demos ... |
| Braden: Thanks for that. Braden, Could you give us a sample sentence? |
| ---: Sure. Nós demos o dinheiro ao bancário. Which translates to "We gave the money to the bank teller." |
| Braden: notice how similar it is to the present tense. |
| ---: Nós damos o dinheiro ao bancário. Which translates to "We give the money to the bank teller." |
| Braden: Only the a and the e change. That's why we made the comment about dar behaving like an "er" verb in the preterit tense. Okay could you give us the conjugation for the verb dizer? |
| ---: Sure. Eu disse, você disse, nós dissemos.... |
| Braden: Could you give us a sample sentence? |
| ---: Sure. Ele disse a verdade. Which translates to "He told the truth." |
| Braden: And again lets compare this to a present tense sentence. |
| ---: Okay. Ele diz a verdade. Which translates to "He tells the truth." |
| Braden: Lissen to that pronunciation it's very important. |
| ---: diz...disse |
| Braden: Okay could you give us the conjugation for the verb trazer in the preterit? |
| ---: sure. trouxe-trouxe-trouxemos-trouxeram |
| Braden: Could you give us a sample sentence? |
| ---: Sure. Eu trouxe meu companheiro comigo. Which translates to "I brought my companion with me." |
| Braden: And just to be well rounded, could you give us this in the present? |
| ---: Sure. Eu trago meu companheiro comigo. Which translates to "I bring my companion with me." |
| Braden: Okay so, all together now. We've got two sentences that use all three verbs in them. ready? |
| ---: Eu disse que ele trouxe biscoitos para a sala de aula e me deu um. |
| Braden: Which translates to "I said that he brought cookies to the classroom and gave me one." Notice all past tense. And the next sentence? |
