| VOCAB AND PHRASE USAGE . |
| Braden: Let's have a closer look at the usuage for some of the words and phrases from this lesson. |
| Braden: Let's take a closer look at some of the words and phrases from this lesson. |
| Sandra-: In the dialogue, we heard the phrase semana que vem |
| Braden: The literal translation is “week that comes” |
| Sandra-: This is one of 2 ways to say “next week.” the other wayIs by using the phrase “próxima semana. |
| Braden: for example, |
| Sandra-: Eu vou para a praia semana que vem. |
| Braden: “I’m going to the beach next week.” |
| Braden: Could you break this down? |
| Sandra-: (break down) |
| Braden: So what's our next phrase/word? |
| Sandra-: In the dialogue, we heard the word parecia que |
| Braden: The literal translation is “used to look that” |
| Sandra-: but it means “looked like,” or “looked as if.” |
| Braden: Could you break this down? |
| Sandra-: (break down) |
| Braden: So what's our next phrase/word? |
| Sandra-: In the dialogue, we heard the phrase foi bom, viu? |
| Braden: The literal translation is “Was good saw?” |
| Sandra-: But it means “it was good, see?” technically, “viu” means “saw.” However, in Portuguese it is often used as a filler, which is how it’s used in this sentence. |
| Braden: Could you break this down? |
| Sandra-: (break down) |
| Braden: Let's take a look at the grammar point. |
Lesson focus |
|---|
| Braden: So Sandra-, what's the focus of this lesson? |
| Sandra-: The focus of this lesson is counting 1-20 things |
| Braden: In the dialogue, we heard the phrase |
| Sandra-: Eu nunca vi um time fazer treze gols! |
| Braden: Which we translated as "I’ve never seen a team make 13 goals." |
| Sandra-: Counting things in Portuguese is very straightforward. We just follow the number by the item, same as English. |
| Braden: For example, |
| Sandra-: uma página |
| Braden: "one page" |
| Sandra-: The number uma (one) comes first followed by the item, in this case página. |
| Braden: To count more than one item in Portuguese just put the number in front and an "s" at the end of the noun. Therefore, |
| Sandra-: cinco páginas |
| Braden: "five pages" |
| Sandra-: As you can see, the process is mostly identical to English. |
| Braden: Now, there is a slight caveat with one and two. As was explained in Absolute Beginner season 1 lesson 10, Portuguese nouns have gender. |
| Sandra-: For example, "one or two women" would be uma ou duas mulheres, but "one or two men" would be um ou dois homens. |
| Braden: It is generally safer to use the masculine form (um or dois) when you don't know the noun' gender. |
| Sandra-: um, uma |
| Braden: "one" |
| Sandra-: dois, duas |
| Braden: "two" |
| Sandra-: três |
| Braden: "three" |
| Sandra-: quatro |
| Braden: "four" |
| Sandra-: cinco |
| Braden: "five" |
| Sandra-: seis |
| Braden: "six" |
| Sandra-: sete |
| Braden: "seven" |
| Sandra-: oito |
| Braden: "eight" |
| Sandra-: nove |
| Braden: "nove" |
| Sandra-: dez |
| Braden: "ten" |
| Sandra-: onze |
| Braden: "eleven" |
| Sandra-: doze |
| Braden: "twelve" |
| Sandra-: treze |
| Braden: "thirteen" |
| Sandra-: quatorze |
| Braden: "fourteen" |
| Sandra-: quinze |
| Braden: "fifteen" In English, we say "twenty-one," "twenty-two," etc. |
| Sandra-: In Portuguese, the same process used to begin with sixteen, except the word e |
| Braden: Which means "and" is was inserted between the numbers. For example, |
| Sandra-: dez e seis |
| Braden: "ten and six" or "sixteen". Overtime, the numbers dezesseis through dezenove were compressed and became one word. Now these teen numbers are pronounced - |
| Sandra-: dezesseis |
| Braden: "sixteen" |
| Sandra-: dezessete |
| Braden: "seventeen" |
| Sandra-: dezoito |
| Braden: "eighteen |
| Sandra-: dezenove |
| Braden: "nineteen" |
| Sandra-: vinte |
| Braden: "twenty" |
| Sandra-: Lets review this lesson. |
| Braden: Counting things in Portuguese is pretty straightforward. It follows on the exact same pattern is English. |
| Sandra-: And the rules are so similar that you don't really need to worry about them until you get into bigger numbers. |
| Braden: You should also remember that gender can affect some numbers. Particularly number 1 and number 2 which have both masculine and feminine forms. |

HideHave you ever watched Bralizian soccer team's game? How was it?
Olá, David!
Obrigada por escrever! (Thank you for writing)
Good to know you already know Brazil! :)

1. I have before. My mom grew up in Presidente Prudente, and one half of her fans in Corinthiana, and the other half is Paulista (Sao Paulo) and a quarter is (Verdaos *Palmeiras fans*) However, I'm the only one that's a Flamengo fan, what's your take on that?
2. The best games I watched for brazilian football was the santos flamengo game (4x5 em 2012).
Oi, Christopher Archevald,
No, it doesn't matter. Partida e jogo de futebol have the same meaning.
Thanks for your question!

Does it matter if you use jogo or partida for a football match?
Hi Jaimie,

Eu nunca assisti um jogo de futebol do Brasil. Eu só assisti um jogo uma vez no Equador. Meu amigo estava jogando. O time dele ganhou 😁
Oi Gosina,
Tudo ótimo, e você?
Obrigada pelo comentário! Também estou torcendo pro Brasil!
And yes, in this case it'd be okay to drop the "na" in the sentence. :wink:
Let us know if you have any questions, or need any help!

Oi, tudo bem?
I love to watch Brazilians play soccer. I'm from Germany/Munich, and we also
have Brazilian players in our team. (FC BAYERN) :smile:
Apropósito, as suas lições são impressionantes.
Só uma pergunta. In the script I read "O curso começa semana que vem"
and one time "O próximo jogo vai ser no Maracanã na semana que vem"
with a "na" in it. Could I drop the na in the second sentence?
Hope Brazil will win the World Cup!!! :heart:
Até mais.
Oi Laderon,
Yes, Brazilians really love futebol. We love our national teams, among the most famous are Corinthians, Palmeiras, São Paulo, Flamengo, Fluminense, Santos... that's a long list!
If you like football, for sure you won't run out of topic to talk with your Brazilian friends.
As for foreign teams, Brazilians also like the famous European teams, especially the ones that have a Brazilian player!
"Assistir" means "to watch", both live, or on a TV.
And "ver" can be used to mean "to see."
But for the sentences:
Você assistiu o jogo ontem?
Você viu o jogo ontem?
and
Eu vou assistir o jogo no Maracanã semana que vem.
Eu vou ver o jogo no Maracanã semana que vem.
Both sentences are fine.
I hope it helps,
Paloma

May you clerify it a little bit? Assistir o jogo - it's like to watch it live?
How to say then: did you watch the game yesterday (like on TV): Viu o jogo? Right?
