| POST |
| John: Listen again to Eduardo's post. |
| Ana Clara: Esperando o pedido. Que fome! |
| John: "Waiting for my order! I'm so hungry!" |
| Ana Clara: (SLOW) Esperando o pedido. Que fome! (Regular) Esperando o pedido. Que fome! |
| John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "Waiting for my order." |
| Ana Clara: Esperando o pedido. |
| John: The word "order"... |
| Ana Clara: pedido |
| John: ...is used as a noun. But it can also be an adjective (for example, "ordered” or “asked"), or even a verb. So, pay attention to the context. Listen again- "Waiting for my order" is... |
| Ana Clara: (SLOW) Esperando o pedido. (REGULAR) Esperando o pedido. |
| John: Then comes the phrase - "I'm so hungry!" |
| Ana Clara: Que fome! |
| John: It's the common, informal way of saying you're hungry without using a subject. It's similar to "such a hunger." You can use it to talk about other people's hunger too. Listen again- "I'm so hungry!" is... |
| Ana Clara: (SLOW) Que fome! (REGULAR) Que fome! |
| John: All together, it's "Waiting for my order! I'm so hungry!" |
| Ana Clara: Esperando o pedido. Que fome! |
