| Hi everyone Paloma here. Welcome to Portuguese White Board lesson by PortuguesePod101.com |
| Today, we're going to talk about Top Portuguese Verbs. |
| First, let's see the vocabulary, but this time I'm gonna show you the verb and then the conjugated form for eu, "I." |
| First one is comer |

| And, jogo. Eu jogo. |
| That means "play," pay attention to the pronunciation and intonation in Portuguese. |
| Jogar and jogo. |
| Ok? Jogo means "game" and jogo means "I play." |
| Also pay attention that jogar means "to play a game," not to play an instrument, for example. |
| Next, we have... |
| faIar |
| faIar |
| And, falo. Eu falo. |
| means "say," "speak," or "talk." |
| Next is... |
| ler |

| And last one is, |
| fazer |

| And, faço. Eu faço. |
| That means "to do" or "to make" in Portuguese. |
| And last but not least, let's look at the vocabulary that we'll also learn today. |
| música |
| Means "music" |
| água |
| Means "water" |
| And, |
| uma maçã |
| Means "an apple" |
| The dialogue today is: |
| O que você faz? |
| Eu ouço música. |
| O que você faz? |
| "What do you do?" |
| Eu ouço música. |
| "I listen to music." |
| O que você faz? |
| Eu ouço música. |
| You're talking about the present tense. |
| Let's see a few more examples. |
| O que você faz? |
| Eu bebo água. |
| Eu bebo água. |
| "I drink water." |
| O que você faz? |
| Eu como uma maçã. |
| "I eat an apple." |
| Eu como uma maçã. |
| Ok. The sentence pattern for today is very easy. |
| That's: Eu, and then the [verb] (this verb is conjugated to eu, "I," in the present form in this case), and then the [object]. |
| I [verb] [object]. |
| For example, |
| Eu bebo água. |
| Eu como uma maçã. |
| Eu ouço música. |
| Now the culture insights. So we actually have two ways of saying "to drink" in Portuguese. |
| The first one is the one that we learned today, beber. Beber. |
| The other one is tomar. |
| Tomar, "to take." |
| tomar |
| We also use tomar to say things like, eu tomo café da manhã, "I eat breakfast" in English, but in Portuguese, that's "I take breakfast," for example. |
