  • Professor,o modo formal de vocês (you all) seria "vós" o mesmo que "tu" (formal) e você (informal) ,porém, não muito usado aqui no Brasil, somente na língua culta. Seria importante enfatizar o vós pois o pronome pessoal oblíquo VOS (sem acento) corresponde a primeiro acima citado. Sua pronúncia é ótima! Abraços!

  • muito obrigado pelos seus comentarios recentes! Aprecio muito as dicas e o apoio! abs!

  • how is "a galera" and "a gente" used...

  • "a gente" can mean "we": a gente vai almoçar, sometimes people use it to mean simply "I" also, but its verbs are third-person forms, a gente vai, a gente fala, a gente sabe... "a galera" also takes third-person verbs, but is always a collective subject which may or may not include the speaker.

  • you are an excellent teacher

  • Thanks very much for the encouragemente, brasileiro87!

  • o "tu" se fala mas é informal e geralmente nós falamos "você" quando é uma pessoa da nossa mesma idade mas não a conhecemos e quando uma pessoa é da mesma idade que nós mas somos grandes amigos, já a conhecemos falamos o "tu". Isso de usar "você" para pessoas da nossa idade mas que não conhecemos é porque os jovens não gostam de ser chamados de "senhor" ou "senhora" quando for formal, porque nós costumamos dizer que a pessoa acha que a gente é mas "velha" ou melhor dizendo. Escute minha dica.

  • you teach spanish and portuguees too . I like yr methode so much

    I am very intersant in langauges

    the question is when do we do a nazification ?

    or sometimes the s is pronunced like sh in shoes

    obrigado

  • @almabatard It's a mistake, of course; we never do eu+infinitive; we always do eu+verb tense; the verb tense can be: Simple Present, Present Continuous, Past Tense, Past Perfect, Past-future, Simple Future, Conditional, and many other verb forms; learning Portuguese grammar is a hard work, be sure;

  • @almabatard Depends of the context: Se eu falar devagar, você entende? If I´ll speak slowly, do you understand? Se eu morar sozinho, vai ser difícil... If I´m going to live alone, it will be hard...

  • @almabatard Almabatard, "você" is with c, not ç, OK? Search by Velha Infância Tropicalistas, and videos from Nooma Rob Bell, I think that you will like these... Grande abraço!!!

  • I've heard "eu falar" and "eu morar". do some brazilians use eu+infinitive or was that just a mistake made by one person?

  • @ralebr I agree with you, I love how voçê is being used instead of tu, that's one of the reasons why I want to learn brazilian portuguese, and the accent too, so much different from portugual portuguese or spanish... i love it!

  • "Tu" is just for 2 or 3 states. The people of the more important States speak "Você". When you use "Tu", the verb is conjugate in the second person of singular:

    Eu FALO

    Tu FALAS

    Ele FALA / Você FALA

    Because VOCÊ has his origin in "Vossa Mercê", a formal form of past centuries for a very important person. It is one of the most beautiful carachteristics of Brazilian Portugues Language, im my opinion.

  • @MrTentaclerape yes, you can

  • tu is used in the southern and northeastern Brazil, I don't speak você at all, I usually speak tu.
