POST
John: Listen again to Eduardo's post.
Ana Clara: O show finalmente começou!
John: "The show has finally started!"
Ana Clara: (SLOW) O show finalmente começou! (Regular) O show finalmente começou!
John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "The concert."
Ana Clara: O show
John: In Portuguese...
Ana Clara: show
John: generally means a music concert of popular music. It isn't used to refer to a TV show, like in English. It can also be used as a slang, as an adjective meaning "awesome, great." Listen again- "The concert" is...
Ana Clara: (SLOW) O show (REGULAR) O show
John: Then comes the phrase - "has finally started"
Ana Clara: finalmente começou
John: The word...
Ana Clara: Finalmente…
John: ... is a regular time adverb, so it modifies the following verb, giving it an end. It can be used just like "finally" and even "at last."
John: So, here, it modifies the verb "started." Listen again- "Has finally started" is...
Ana Clara: (SLOW) Finalmente começou (REGULAR) Finalmente começou
John: All together, it's "The show has finally started!"
Ana Clara: O show finalmente começou!
