| Eric: Here's the informal way to say 'Do you have a pen?' in Portuguese. |

| Ana: [Normal] você [Slow] você |
| Eric: Next is the word meaning 'have' |

| Eric: Next is the word meaning 'a' |
| Ana: [Normal] uma [Slow] uma |
| Eric: Last is the word meaning 'pen' |
| Ana: [Normal] caneta [Slow] caneta |
| Eric: Listen again to the informal phrase meaning 'Do you have a pen?' |
| Ana: [Slow] Você tem uma caneta? [Normal] Você tem uma caneta? |
| Eric: Ok, now let's take a look at the formal way to say 'Do you have a pen?' |
| Ana: [Normal] O senhor tem uma caneta? |
| Eric: First is a word meaning 'you' |
| Ana: [Normal] o senhor [Slow] o senhor |
| Eric: Next is the word meaning 'have' |
| Ana: [Normal] tem [Slow] tem |
| Eric: Next is the word meaning 'a' |
| Ana: [Normal] uma [Slow] uma |
| Eric: Last is the word meaning 'pen' |
| Ana: [Normal] caneta [Slow] caneta |
| Eric: Listen again to the formal phrase meaning 'Do you have a pen?' |
| Ana: [Slow] O senhor tem uma caneta? [Normal] O senhor tem uma caneta? |
| Eric: One way to answer is to say 'Yes, I have one.' |
| Ana: [Normal] Eu tenho sim. |
| Eric: First is a word meaning 'I' |
| Ana: [Normal] eu [Slow] eu |
| Eric: Next is the word meaning 'have' |
| Ana: [Normal] tenho [Slow] tenho |
| Eric: Last is the word meaning 'yes' |
| Ana: [Normal] sim [Slow] sim |
| Eric: Listen again to the phrase meaning 'Yes, I have one.' |
| Ana: [Slow] Eu tenho sim. [Normal] Eu tenho sim. |
| Eric: Finally, here is an informal way to say 'Yes, here you are.' |
| Ana: [Normal] Tenho sim. |
| Eric: First is a word meaning 'have' |
| Ana: [Normal] tenho [Slow] tenho |
| Eric: Last is the word meaning 'yes' |
| Ana: [Normal] sim [Slow] sim. |
| Eric: Listen again to the informal phrase meaning 'Yes, here you are.' |
| Ana: [Slow] Tenho sim. [Normal] Tenho sim. |
| Cultural Insight |
| Eric: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Ana: If you want to sound really natural when asking if someone has something, because you need to borrow it or you are looking for it in a store, you can use the words Será que. Here’s an example - |
| Será que você tem um lápis preto? It literally means “I wonder if you have a black pencil?” |
| You just add Será que at the beginning of the sentence. It makes the whole sentence sound like a question, and it’s a little bit less direct. |
