Lesson Vocabulary & Phrases
Olá
oh-LAH
Hello
Posso
POH-soo
Can I
Dizer
dee-ZEHR
Say
Posso dizer
POH-soo dee-ZEHR
May I say
💬 [Posso] already includes [I], so Portuguese usually skips the subject: [Posso dizer] rather than [Eu posso dizer]. Same pattern: [Posso perguntar?] = "May I ask?".
See breakdown →Adorei
ah-doh-RAY
I love
💬 [Adorei] is past tense literally "I loved," but in Portuguese it's very often used for a warm compliment right now, like "I love it." You'll hear the same with [gostei] for a softer version.
See breakdown →O teu
ooh teh-ooh
Your
💬 [Teu] changes to match the thing owned: [o teu estilo], but [a tua camisa], [os teus olhos], [as tuas ideias]. The article usually stays with it in European Portuguese.
See breakdown →Estilo
eh-STEE-loo
Style
O teu estilo
ooh teh-ooh eh-stee-loo
Your style
💬 In European Portuguese, possessives usually come with the article: [o teu estilo], not just [teu estilo]. Same pattern: [a tua roupa], [os teus sapatos].
See breakdown →Obrigado
oh-BREE-gah-doo
Thank you
💬 [Obrigado] changes with the speaker: a man says [obrigado], a woman says [obrigada]. You say the form that matches you, not the person you're thanking.
