| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| (Peter always does a little review about the previous lessons. explain what you are thinking about the storyline in the lesson, so the students can follow and participate - don't make them guess.) |
| Braden: Navigating a new culture is always a difficult thing to do and with language it's even more important. |
| Thássia: Our grammar point for this lesson is the imperative or command form. |
| Braden: This a verb conjugation that is very important to know to read and write Portuguese but in spoken Brazilian Portuguese, the command form is rarely used. |
| Thássia: This is because it often sounds rude, as if you are ordering people around. |
| Braden: Brazilians often ignore the command form (knowing it’s the correct verb form) in favor of the standard conjugation for social reasons. When you're a foreigner, culture always wins over grammar. |

| VOCAB AND PHRASE USAGE |
| Braden: Let's have a closer look at the usuage for some of the words and phrases from this lesson. |
| Thássia: In this lesson we’ll look at some of the usages of the word seu. |
| Braden: In previous lessons, we learned one meaning of seu, which was "your" when talking about possession. |
| Thássia: In the dialogue for this lesson, we saw Alisson use it with another meaning - "you." When Alisson said seu bêbado it had almost the exact same meaning and usage as “you drunkard” in English. |
| Braden: Seu can also has another meaning as “sir” or “mister” when placed before a noun, for exemple seu Lopes means “Mr. Lopes” |
| Thássia: The next word we’ll look at is Cinto de segurança which literally translates to “belt of security” or “belt of saftey” and the Portuguese word for “belt” is cinto. |
| Braden: But in the dialogue we heard the speakers just say cinto to mean “seatbelt.” Since they were in the car there is the inferred meaning that they were talking about a specific cinto, the cinto de segurança or “seatbelt.” |
Lesson focus |
|---|
| Braden: What’s the focus of this lesson? |
| Thássia: The focus of this lesson is the -or verb pôr. In the dialogue we heard the phrase “André, põe o cinto.” |
| Braden: Which we translated as "André, put on your belt.” This is an example of the verb pôr. |
| Thássia: The verb pôr means “to put” or “to put on” and is an -or verb. -Or verbs are different from the normal -ar, -er, and -ir verbs we have learned so far. |
| Braden: That’s right. Pôr is conjugated in the present tense as follows |
| Thássia: Eu ponho |
| Braden: you put |
| Thássia: você põe |
| Braden: he/she/it puts |
| Thássia: ele or ela põe |
| Braden: we put |
| Thássia: nós pomos |
| Braden: vocês põem |
| Thássia: y’all put |
| Braden: they put |
| Thássia: eles põem |
| Braden: awesome. So is pôr the only -or verb in Portuguese? |
| Thássia: There are few -or verbs in Portuguese. Other -or verbs include supor (to suppose), impor (to impose), dispor (to dispose, to make use), propor (to propose), and compor (to compose). |
| Braden: If you look closely, all those -or verbs are, in fact, -por verbs and all follow the same conjugation pattern as pôr. |
| Thássia: So with the verb supor you get Nós supomos que sim. - "We suppose so.” |
| Braden: and with the verb dispor (which is a very complicated verb) you get Eles dispõem dos conselhos da presidente Dilma. - “The have at their disposal the counsels of president Dilma. |
| Thássia: Some examples from the dialogue are “André, põe o cinto.” – “André, put on your belt.” |
| Braden: and Ai ai, ponha o cinto! – “Oh my! Put on your belt.” - |
| Thássia: Our language tip for this lesson is about the verb “to put.” |
| Braden: That’s right. There are three verbs in Portuguese that mean “to put” - pôr, colocar and botar. |
| Thássia: Colocar and botar are both regular verbs. Botar is most used in northern Brazil and colocar is used in the southern part of Brazil. Pôr is used everywhere but since it’s a more difficult conjugation, usually only educated people use it. |
