| POST |
| John: Listen again to Eduardo's post. |
| Ana Clara: Nunca fui tão feliz na vida. Te amo, Luiza. |
| John: "I've never been so happy. I love you, Luiza." |
| Ana Clara: (SLOW) Nunca fui tão feliz na vida. Te amo, Luiza. (Regular) Nunca fui tão feliz na vida. Te amo, Luiza. |
| John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "I've never been so happy." |
| Ana Clara: Nunca fui tão feliz na vida. |
| John: It's extremely common to omit the subject "I" in Portuguese. The subjects are typically implied and are treated like explicit ones - For example, |
| Ana Clara: nunca fui |
| John: could also be... |
| Ana Clara: eu nunca fui |
| John: meaning "I've never been.” Both are correct. |
| Ana Clara: tão feliz na vida |
| John: means "so happy in my life." Listen again- "I've never been so happy." is... |
| Ana Clara: (SLOW) Nunca fui tão feliz na vida. (REGULAR) Nunca fui tão feliz na vida. |
| John: Then comes the phrase - "I love you, Luiza." |
| Ana Clara: Te amo, Luiza. |
| John: "I love you." Again, this is a case where the subject is implicit. Listen again- "I love you, Luiza." is... |
| Ana Clara: (SLOW) Te amo, Luiza. (REGULAR) Te amo, Luiza. |
| John: All together, it's "I've never been so happy. I love you, Luiza." |
| Ana Clara: Nunca fui tão feliz na vida. Te amo, Luiza. |
