I am a Timorense. I do really love your lesson. My Portuguese is nothing.. When I found your channel I straight away love it. As you know our official language is Portuguese. It was consecrated in our constitution. I never learnt Portuguese in my entire life during Indonesia occupation. It was completely ban by the occupier. But after gaining our independence, we all Timorense started to learn this language in 2020. It was approximately less than 10% of our people can speak, write well in português at that time. But after five years of learning Portuguese there are more than 60% of population can speak Portuguese fluently.
@@Portugueselab yes there are lot even Portuguese government send many Portuguese teachers to teach Portuguese in our country. They teach at primary school till universities as well . It's been started since 2020.
Cada vez que eu vejo uns dos teus vídeos, acho respostas de coisas que não podia entender antes. Por exemplo, eu não sabia qual era a regra para quando utilizar o "reflexive pronoun" antes do verbo. Fico muito grato por os teus vídeos. São muito educativos!
Exellent,for one learns not only the reflexive but also en route,vocabulary. Also, I have found it far more efficient to learn phrases as in the storyline as opposed to individual words; the grammar is also there.
@@Theyoutuberpolyglot I think what he meant was that he recorded himself reading the text and sent it to a Portuguese friend to check his pronunciation.
@@collieclone My bad. That comment was not for him. I mixed up comments- Sorry about that. What I wrote didn't make any sense. I wanted to say " I am Portuguese,, so she is." I am Portuguese like her; therefore, I can help him as well. I can spot pronunciation errors, but it's difficult to give some advice. I can tell you the o in José is pronounce like u. By the way, my name is José- Nice to meet you. How to pronounce the " João" No idea. I might tell you the ã is long and it's a nasal sound, the o sounds like u " Good" oo. Try to imitate it. That was an example to illustrate my point.
@@collieclone Watch my videos, and you'll see how difficult English or other foreign languages are. It all comes down to use the language (communicate). Mistakes might happen; however, you have to practise to get better.
Is there a huge difference in regional European Portuguese accents. Portuense seems lighter, some collaquial EP are hard to understand after hearing BP. Love it though.
Ontem o Joao teve um dia muito mau- Yesterday Joao had a bad day. Esqueceste-te de traduzir essa parte. Seria muito fixe que abrisses outro canal para aprender inglês. Traduzes muito bem. Dou-te os meus parabéns.
Muito obrigado para sua ajuda. I believe in the second paragraph you omitted half of the first sentence.Especially when reading it full speed it may irritate a new student easily. :-)
Tamiro4711 de nada! Indeed, the first sentence of the second paragrapgh is missing. If new students are irritated by that, then they need thicker skins. :)

Hi. I've got a question. Do you always place the article "the" (o or a) before every noun in portuguese language? I mean. it's like saying "the Joao" or "The Joao lives with the his brother"
Jharles Henríquez - Vlogs yep, we say o João, a Maria. Also with possessive pronouns as Italians do. O meu pai, a minha mãe, o teu tio,a tua prima etc.
so would it be correct to say that some verbs always require an object noun in the sentence, if there is no object this is added with the refexive pronoun, in english you can just dress..i.e no object but in portuguese there must always be an obeject dressed tso you have to add the objectthrough the reflexive poronoun i.e to dress yourself ?
Does that list given for pronouns before the verb possibly include 'para'? I saw a phrase "ela estudou muito para se preparar". Is that correct (or is that Brazilian Portuguese)?
@@Portugueselab Hi :) Where can i find a complete list of the words that focres the pronoun to be placed before. So far i have: para, já, nunca, não, nada, talvez, alguém, ninguém, só, que, quando?, como? , onde?...... Is there a logic behind ? Or it's just a "memorize and dont bother" thing. Thanks
In Duolingo, Duolingo wouldn't let me use this tense or Duolingo wouldn't teach me this tense. the tense that Duolingo would teach me would be "Ele/Ela acordou na manhã" but in European Portuguese it's more complex and more formal. That's why I prefer Portuguese from Portugal than Brazil
@@Portugueselab Thank you for correcting me, and please forgive me if I'm mistaken, but I believe "o seu" also means: your (singular). Would this mean that "o seu" means both "your" and "his" at the same time?
Muito obrigado! I've been having doubts about where to put the reflexive pronoun and this is really clear and helpful.
Obrigada! I find the reading of the short stories with translation very, very helpful. It's exactly what I've been hoping to find ❤️
Very nice video and effective for learning

Wow, much appreciated, the lesson can be both for intermediate and beginner as you provide the english translation by the second reading, THANK YOU.
These are super helpful to practice reading out loud. More of these, please! Thank you

Pois foi. :) Achas que traduzo bem? É sempre uma dor de cabeça! Mas obrigada. :)
O pronome também precisa ser colocado após do verbo quando tiver uma preposição? Por exemplo, de ou para.

In general, yes, nouns need to be preceded by the article. But there are exceptions. :)
@@Portugueselab ok. Thanks. I'm learning Portuguese with your videos. I hope you make a video explaining conditionals, if you haven't. Good luck

Wow wow this is a masterpiece for me to learn to boost my portuguese knowledge thanks from core of my heart

That's correct! "Para" forces the pronoun to be placed before the verb.

Shouldn’t the title be reflexive verb- pronouns?
Bingham Guevara could be. But it's simpler like this. :) When you talk about reflexive verbs you talk about reflexive pronouns.
How does "o seu" mean his? shouldn't it be: Ele vive com os pais e o irmão dele mais novo.
"o seu" means "his" (o seu irmão mais novo) And it has the same meaning as "o irmão mais novo dele".
@@Portugueselab Thank you for correcting me, and please forgive me if I'm mistaken, but I believe "o seu" also means: your (singular). Would this mean that "o seu" means both "your" and "his" at the same time?
Thank you so much
