| Hi everybody, here's Paloma! |
| Welcome to Whiteboard lessons! |
| Today we're going to talk about making small talk about the weather in Portuguese. |
| Okay, so first of all, let's start with the vocabulary. |
| First, we have... |
| quente |
| hot |
| quente |
| And the opposite is... |
| frio |
| cold |
| The next on is... |
| úmido |
| humid |
| And we also have |
| chovendo |
| raining |
| We also have |
| nevando |
| "snowing" |
| And, |
| ensolarado |
| "sunny" |
| fresco |
| fresco means "cool" |
| And the last one is... |
| ventando |
| ventando means "windy" |
| Okay, so let's see them in a dialogue. |
| Here's the dialogue. |
| Hoje está quente, né? |
| É verdade. |
| Hoje está quente, né? "It's hot today, isn't it?" |
| É verdade. "That's true." |
| Hoje está quente, né? |
| É verdade. |
| Let's see some more examples with the same pattern. |
| Hoje está frio, né? "It's cold today, isn't it?" |
| Hoje está fresco, né? "It's cool today, isn't it?" |
| Hoje está chovendo, né? "It's raining today, isn't it?" |
| You could also say... |
| Hoje está chovendo... |
| bastante "a lot" |
| Hoje está chovendo bastante, né? |
| Today is raining a lot, isn't it? |
| Okay, so let's see the pattern. |
| Hoje está [WEATHER CONDITION], né? |
| It's [WEATHER CONDITION] today, isn't it? |
| Hoje means "today" |
| está means "is" |
| Today is [WEATHER CONDITION] |
| né? "isn't it?" |
| You could also make it just a statement by saying, |
| Está [WEATHER CONDITION]. |
| For example, |
| Está quente. "It's hot." |
| Está ensolarado. "It's sunny." |
| Está úmido. "It's humid." |
| But you can also use |
| Hoje está ventando, né? |
| So since we're talking about the weather, |
| you should know that in Brazil you almost |
| never going to use this last one - nevando "snowing" |
| because we almost never see snow in Brazil. |
| You're probably almost always going to use |
| quente "hot" and "humid," úmido; |
| and it also rains a lot, chovendo "raining." |
| So prepare to get a really nice tan when you go to Brazil. |
