[@holosveroniky]

Interessante, muito grata! E a constipação é the cold mesmo? Será que significa constipation também? Pensei que pode ser um amigo falso mas parece que tem mesmo esse significado. Se sim, seria engraçado fazer aquela pergunta meio delicada😅

[@Portugueselab]

É um falso amigo. :) Constipation diz-se "prisão de ventre".

Vai fazer obras em casa? = Vai fazer muito barulho? :D

Hehe, é isso mesmo. 😆

“How was your vacation?” is singular, how come you used the past tense verb “foram” which is for plurals?
And “as férias” means literally “the holidays.”
How come you don’t say it this way in Portuguese, “como foi as suas férias?” Is this way also correct?

[@Portugueselab]

Don't rely on the translation to understand what each word means. All you need is to understand the general meaning. "as férias" is a plural word that's why the verb is in the plural form.

@@Portugueselab But isn’t the person you are talking to a single person? Portuguese takes into account the subject too, doesn’t it? The subject in this case is an individual, not many people.
Portuguese makes verbs agreeable with the nouns, but not the subject that you’re talking about??
In the sentence you have written, “como foram as férias?” It means “how were their holidays?” So you’re talking about a group of people and their holidays. But you’ve completely changed to meaning from plural to single person.
So if you are using a plural sentence structure for an individual, how would you say it in Portuguese when you’re talking about a person’s holidays (not a group of people).
How would the reader know the general meaning of sentence if the neighbor is one person or multiple people they are having a conversation with?
