| Now let's look at the dialogue. |
| When I read, I want you to pay attention to the preposition “de”. |
| Find it in the sentence and see how it’s used in the dialogue. |
| O seu número de telefone, por favor. |
| O meu número de telefone é (25)94488-6789. |
| O seu número de telefone, por favor. |
| Your phone number please. |
| O meu número de telefone é (25)94488-6789. |
| My phone number is (25)94488-6789. |
| so as you can see we have número de telefone é or phone number in English |
| that is literally number of phone |
| now let's look at some speaking examples |
| Esse é o número de telefone da minha irmã. |
| This is my sister’s phone number. |
| Esse é o número de telefone da minha irmã. |
| you can see that we have two times de and here also the da that is the contraction. |
| so this is number of phone of my sister |
| literally in português |
| this is my sister phone number |
| we also have another example Chave do carro Car key |
| or literally key of the car |
| because here we have "do" which is the contraction of De plus O |
| do |
| unless we have Nome da empresa or company name |
| literally name of the company |
| da also is the contraction of the "de" plus 'a" |
| da |
| Chave do carro nome da empresa we can also use the plural form. |
| Chave do carros |
| cars key or key of the cars |
| é nome das empresas |
| or company's name or literally name of the companies in the plural form. |
| The is everywhere you hear the in a lot of expressions in português. |
| for example book titles like História de Amor or love story |
| or famous places for example Catedral de Brasília |
| Brasília Cathedral |
| He can also hear verbs for example |
| eu gosto de chocolate |
| i like chocolate |
| It’s one of the most versatile words in Portuguese! |
