Hi, everyone.

Oi, gente.

Welcome to the Portuguese Whiteboard Lessons.

In this lesson, you'll learn how to say não in Portuguese.

Okay, let's get started.

First, let's look at the sentence pattern.

This pattern will be the structure that all of our dialogues will follow.

Eu não sou estudante.

You can see the não here.

Não is an adverb in Portuguese, and you have that nasal sound, não, não.

This literally means I, eu, not, am, student, or in English, I'm not a student.

This is the pattern, não plus the verb.
