Olá Christiane,

Antigamente uma empresa, donde ou meu marido trabalhou, levaram todas as mulheres com um ônibus no Nelspruit, a cidade grande. A Malelane, donde nós moramos, esteve só uma aldeia muito pequena. Isso esteve muito bom. Estivemos a falar de um com o outro, fizemos compras, cortávamos os nossos cabelos e estive a visitar uma loja de música! Quando voltámos, estavamos cansadas mas muito felizes.

Até mais

Miemie

hi, just one small thing, you don't leave very long to try and say the sentence after it is said in English. Would be better if you could leave say 10 seconds rather than 3 seconds which isn't long enough to finish trying to say it before the answer comes. Otherwise a very useful lesson.

Oi Gosina,

Obrigada pelo comentário!

I hope you soon be able to visit Brazil, and when you do, please make sure to let us know how was it!

Buses are one of the most common ways to travel around Brazil, so you will for sure ride it when you're there!

Muito obrigada! Tha't an excellent and useful lesson.

That's absolutely one of my dreams ...to ride a bus in Brazil someday!

I've never been to Brazil, but it's definitely on my to-do-list!!!

By the way, you guys rock!

Até mais.

Oi Martin,

Well, in Brazil we use "esse" much more often, meaning "this" or "that", without worrying that much about grammar.

That's why in this lesson Luciane and Braden are teaching you the most common way you'll hear this phrase in Brazil.

If you want to know about European Portuguese, please visit our Survival Phrases Season 2, that is dedicated to Portugal and has some different expressions and accents.

But basically, you can say either "esse" or "este" and people will understand you in Brazil. But don't expect people using "este" there. You'll hear "esse" much more often.

I hope it helps!

Why is the word "esse" used instead of "este" when the reference is to "this" bus?
