| POST |
| John: Listen again to Luiza's post. |
| Ana Clara: O voo atrasou... aeroportos são tão chatos! Alguém online? |
| John: "The flight was delayed... airports are so boring! Is anyone online?" |
| Ana Clara: (SLOW) O voo atrasou... aeroportos são tão chatos! Alguém online? (Regular) O voo atrasou... aeroportos são tão chatos! Alguém online? |
| John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "The flight was delayed." |
| Ana Clara: O voo atrasou |
| John: The spelling of the word... |
| Ana Clara: voo |
| John: meaning "flight," was recently changed according to the Portuguese New Reform, which changed the rules of the orthography to unite Portuguese-speaking countries. You may still see the original spelling with the circumflex, but remember that it's outdated. Listen again- "The flight was delayed" is... |
| Ana Clara: (SLOW) O voo atrasou (REGULAR) O voo atrasou |
| John: Then comes the phrase - "Airports are so boring! Is anyone online?" |
| Ana Clara: Aeroportos são tão chatos! Alguém online? |
| John: The word... |
| Ana Clara: chato |
| John: can mean a lot of things: "dull, boring, annoying." Literally, the word means "flat." In this case, it's a mix of “boring” and “dull.” So in this situation... |
| Ana Clara: aeroportos |
| John: meaning "airports," are very dull and boring. The last question means "is anyone online?" Listen again- "Airports are so boring! Is anyone online?" is... |
| Ana Clara: (SLOW) Aeroportos são tão chatos! Alguém online? (REGULAR) Aeroportos são tão chatos! Alguém online? |
| John: All together, it's "The flight was delayed... airports are so boring! Is anyone online?" |
| Ana Clara: O voo atrasou... aeroportos são tão chatos! Alguém online? |
