| POST |
| John: Listen again to Eduardo's post. |
| Ana Clara: Dessa vez me machuquei mesmo. Sem treinos por algumas semanas. |
| John: "This time I really got injured. No training for a few weeks." |
| Ana Clara: (SLOW) Dessa vez me machuquei mesmo. Sem treinos por algumas semanas. (Regular) Dessa vez me machuquei mesmo. Sem treinos por algumas semanas. |
| John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "This time I really got injured." |
| Ana Clara: Dessa vez me machuquei mesmo. |
| John: The first word in this phrase is a contraction. The preposition… |
| Ana Clara: de |
| John: is combined with the demonstrative pronoun |
| Ana Clara: essa |
| John: Together it forms |
| Ana Clara: dessa |
| John: which means "this." |
| Ana Clara: Essa/esse |
| John: means whatever is closer to the speaker. Listen again- "This time I really got injured." is... |
| Ana Clara: (SLOW) Dessa vez me machuquei mesmo. (REGULAR) Dessa vez me machuquei mesmo. |
| John: Then comes the phrase - "No training for a few weeks." |
| Ana Clara: Sem treinos por algumas semanas. |
| John: The first word means "without." However, it's also used in Portuguese at the beginning of sentences to designate when there isn't or there won't be something. Listen again- "No training for a few weeks." is... |
| Ana Clara: (SLOW) Sem treinos por algumas semanas. (REGULAR) Sem treinos por algumas semanas. |
| John: All together, it's "This time I really got injured. No training for a few weeks." |
| Ana Clara: Dessa vez me machuquei mesmo. Sem treinos por algumas semanas. |
