Grew up around it and wondering if you guys feel you love it, hate it or something in between.

A new resource for the European Portuguese learning community.

Here's a link to the list and the story of how and why it was created:

The phrasal verb "fartar-se de" means to do something excessively. Meanwhile, the negation "não se fartar de" means to do something constantly because you love it.

Well, aren't these two meanings... kind of the same? So "fartar-se de" and "não se fartar de" actually have similar meanings, kind of like how the English words "flammable" and "inflammable" mean the same?

Picture a group chat before a churrasco. Someone asks about the drinks, someone is bringing bread, and then a message lands: Você ficou de trazer o gelo, né?

That means roughly “You agreed to bring the ice, remember?” If you first learned ficar as “stay”, here's another useful construction: ficar de + infinitive. It means to agree or arrange to do something.

Fiquei de levar a sobremesa tells people you agreed to bring dessert. A gente ficou de se encontrar às oito means you arranged to meet at eight. Ela ficou de me mandar o endereço means she said she'd send you the address.

You can even say Fiquei de ligar amanhã: “I agreed to call tomorrow.” The past form refers to the earlier agreement. The phone call is still scheduled for tomorrow.

That's also why Ele ficou de me ligar doesn't tell you whether the call actually happened. Add mas até agora nada, “but nothing so far”, and you have a very different scene: someone is still waiting for that call.

For everyday conversations, compare Você pode trazer o gelo? with Você ficou de trazer o gelo. The first asks you to bring it; the second reminds you of an existing arrangement. Missing that difference can leave you thinking someone is making a new suggestion while everyone else thinks the ice is already your responsibility.

And ficar de doesn't have to involve a forgotten favour. Fiquei de te mandar as fotos. Aqui estão! means “I said I'd send you the photos. Here they are!” Sometimes people do remember.

Have you ever been on either side of você ficou de...? What was the plan, and did it actually happen?

Eu nasci, cresci e vivi minha vida inteira no Brasil e ainda agora eu não compreendo completamente esta bodega:

Quais são as diferenças entre "boutique", "butique", "apothéke", "apoteca", "botica", "bodega", "boteca", "boteco" e "botequim" em português?

Quais são sinônimos APENAS de "farmácia"/"drogaria"?

Quais são sinônimos APENAS de "taverna"/"taberna"?

Quais são sinônimos APENAS de "mercearia"/"mercado"?

Quais são sinônimos de "negócio"/"coisa" em geral?

Que coisa significa "bodego" em português?

"Apotecário/a", "boticário/a", "botiqueiro/a" e "bodegueiro/a" são apenas nomes de empregados ou são também nomes de estabelecimentos em português?

ok so i get my comprehension from youtube and i procrastinate by learning how to learn languages(i already know how!) the cool thing about them is noone learns the same so its different all the time! i usually just watch brazilians talking about this but i think i need more, alot of the time its boring. any content ideas? thank you!

I am trying to follow the Lisbon pronunciation of Portuguese, and I’m curious about how this sound is articulated. Is it simply a "soft" version of the standard "n" sound, or is it produced differently? Sometimes it sounds to me as if it’s articulated with the tip of the tongue toward the front, much like a regular "n," but softer, while at other times, it seems to be produced further back, near the throat, using the back of the tongue, somewhat like a velar "ng" sound. I’m wondering: are both of these pronunciations considered standard in the everyday speech of native speakers, or is there a specific rule that dictates which version should be used in certain contexts?

Furthermore, I’m generally interested in how the everyday speech of native speakers differs from strict linguistic rules, so feel free to share other instances where it’s acceptable to deviate from standard pronunciation or conventional communication norms.

Obrigado :)

Sejam sinceros, vcs se lembram classificação da sílaba tônica: oxítonas, paroxítonas e proparoxítonas?

Came across clips of this song, but I can't find the actual track name or the artist since people rename it when used on reels or tiktok. I can only understand a few words, but not enough to really Google the lyrics. Google song ID didn't work for me. Audio on TikTok - Click Here
