so if wanted to say I'm studying it, I'm doing it, etc. what would I say? I'm confused.

[kakosuranosx]

@FivePerCentR The phrase for ''I'm studying it'' is "Estou estudando ele or ela". That would depend on the noun you want to match. For example, If you're studying Mathematics, and that is a feminine noun in Portuguese, thus ''You are studying ela''. If you're studying English, and that's is masculine noun in Portuguese, thus "You are studying ele". BUT if that is a little confusing because of the gender you can substitute ele ela for "isto", in this case. Thus I'm studying isto". :)

@kakosuranosx to FivePerCentR In this case, instead of thinking ''I'm studying IT'', try to think ''I'm studying THIS''. That is gonna make the things much more easy, and Brazilians are gonna get what you wanna say as the same way. Hope this help. :)

Eu curto demais o jeito que você explica gramática. Haha, nunca pensei que pudesse entender melhor a minha língua ouvindo ela em outro idioma. Muito irado MESMO!
