The aim of the course is ‘tn enable you to use Brazilian Portuguese in everyday situations and also to provide some background information about Brazil and Brasilia culture. ‘The Portuguese of Brazil is different from that of Continental Portugal in three main ways: vocabulary, grammatical structures, and, most important, pronunciation. You could consider the two variants of the language in the same way as American and British English, It is widely considered that Brazilian Portuguese is actually easier to understand than European, as the Portuguese speak very quickly, with their mouths closed very much around the words, and they often ‘eat’ the beginning and ending of words. Ifyou are learning Brazilian Portuguese, be assured that people will understand what ‘you are saying (apart from the odd few words) throughout the Portuguese-speaking world. It is important for you to understand that you are not learning ‘Brazilian’, but ‘Brazilian Portuguese’ It is surprising how many people (including some native speakers) believe ‘Brazilian’ is actually a language. It is not, itis a variant of the Portuguese language. Portuguese is nota difficult language to take on board if you have had some experience of another Latin-based (or Romance) language, such as French, Spanish or Italian, Pronunciation is the main area you will need to concentrate on. Many people erroneously believe that, as it looks like Spanish, it will sound that way too. Constant practice withthe cassette will help you improve in this respect. If you have no knowledge of a Romance language, or in fact, of any language, take heart — you are starting out with a clean slate and with no preconceptions which could mislead you. ‘The American influence on Brazil, via TV and other mass-media communications has resulted in various English words entering the Brazilian speakers voeabulary; words such as shopping, flat and “shor (shorts) are commonplace today. How to use this book ach of the 18 units is structured as fllows Introduction. An introduction in English that explains what you vil learn in the unit. Dislogo. There are dislogues at the beginning of each chapter, and sometimes later on. Using the cassette, listen to them first to check the pronunciation and see how much you understand, then read them carly, and if ecessery listen agin, Vocabulério. The vorabulary section that follows each dialogue contains the new words and expressions that you will need to understand it. Verdadeiro ou falso? (Tru o false, These are statements about the tets in either English or Portuguese that may be true o fale ‘The aim of these exercises isto check whether you have understood the text Dicas Culturais.

So if you see a word with a written ceent, you must stress the syllable where the accent is placed A few tips to help you acquire an authentic accent tis not absolutly vital to acquire a perfect accent. The aim is to be ‘understood; here are a number of techniques for working on your pronunciation: 1. Listen carefully to the cassette or native speaker or teacher. Whenever possible repeat aloud imagining you are a native speaker of Portuguese 2. Tape record yourself and compare your pronunciation with that of native speaker. ‘3. Ask native speakers to listen to your pronunciation and tell you how to improve it. 4. Ask native speakers how a specific sound is formed, Watch them and practise at home infront of a mirror, 5 Make a list of words that give you pronunciation trouble and practise them. 1 SEU PASSAPORTE POR FAVOR Your passport please In this unit you will learn ‘© how to identify people ‘© how to introduce yourself and address people © how to say hello and goodbye ‘© how to check into your hotel : Didlogo1 Dialogue 1 ——— Sylvia Peters arrives in Brazil and passes through Customs (Alfindega).

In the dialogue you had: Ginglesa you are English sou es, am You will learn more of verbs later on. 4 Male/Female Tn Portuguese, everything you see around you is divided into two ‘groups: masculine and feminine, This is beeause Portuguese is a Janguage with its roots in Latin, and the Romans used a languagesystem based on words linking together, usually in a logical way (although it may not seem so to many learners!) So, for example, a table happens to be a feminine word, and the floor is a masculine one. Jn most cases you can tell which group © word belongs to by its ending: an -0 for masculine words, and an -a for feminine ones, although this is not always the ease. dictionary will guide you when you are first learning, and look for help in the vocabulary lists, until ‘you start to get a feel forthe different endings. 5 Obrigado/a ‘You will have noticed in the dialogue that the Customs official says Obrigado, and Sylvia replies Obrigada, both meaning Thank you. ‘All men should use the fist and women the second, regardless of whom they are addressing. This is because Obrigado is an adjective ‘a word of description, which is applied to the person expressing their ‘gratitude ~ as in the outdated English (7 am) much obliged. Another Adjective you came across was inglesa (English woman). The mas- culine is inglés (English man). — Di Sylvia arrives and checks in at the hotel where she will be staying before going to the Ferreira home, Sylvia Boa tarde, Sou Sylvia Peters.

Here isthe full table for my and your: SINGULAR PLURAL masculine feminine masculine feminine meu minha meus——minhas seu sua seus su ‘The possessive word links to the item being possessed, and NOT the person to whom it belongs; therefore to say my hey, you need to know that key is a feminine word, then you choose minha from the table; minha chave = my hey. Similarly, to say your rooms, you need to know that room is a masculine word, and it isin the plural, hence seus apartamentos. You will learn more possessives as you ‘progress. Note that sometimes you will hear (or see) the possessive forms as, for example: A sua chave; OS seus apartamentos; with the appropriate word fo the going with the possessed item.

Men often shake hands with each other. Take your eue from their behaviour towards you and those around you. ‘© Brazilian police at airports, border patrols, and in general, are not to be messed with! Make sure you have all your documentation in order (passport, visa, travel docs, driving licence, addresses of where you are staying). Its not unheard of for police to routinely check your vehicle and, inevitably, find something wrong with it. Often they are looking for’a bribe, but you must be very careful here, as some travellers proffering money inside their passport have then been fined for so doing! The best policy, in many eases, is to keep quiet and pay the fine.

(e) Sylvia is a lawyer. —Gramatica 1 Describing places and people ‘You met adjectives (describing words) briefly in the first unit. Now let's have look at them in more detail. Generally speaking, adjectives in Portuguese, unlike in English, go after the thing or person they are describing, eg. uma empresa internacional an international company. OF course this does not apply if you are talking ‘about something introduced by the verb ¢o be eg Londres é grande Landon is big. ‘The important point to remember is that if you are describing some- thing (oF someone) that is feminine, or in the plural, you must make the adjective match it by changing its ending ~ this is known as ‘agreement of the adjective and noun’. Many adjectives end in - (the ‘masculine standard), such as movimentado. Look how it changes: movimentado, movimentada ,movimentados, movimentadas. So, a busy city is uma cidade movimentada, and two busy ‘countries are dois paises movimentados, Be on the look-out for irregular -ending words. In the dialogue you had: grande grande ‘grandes srandes interessante interessante interessantes_interessantes intemacional internacional internacionais internacionais Here are some adjectives you may want to use to deseribe your town (town = a cidade = fer) ‘pequeno sna! lindorbonite. prety Berulnento nosy fndustral indus! Nistéreo hisorcal fora" sossegado quer sujet cultural cura’ Soreultural aqrcutual ‘You will meet more adjectives as you progress. 2 Ter To have You have now met various parts ofthis verb. Here itis in full for you tolearn: ew) tenho Thave (tw tens* you have {elefela) tem he/she has (eleslelas) tém they have (woed) tem you have (woo8s) tém you have (plural) "As this form is used in only some parts of Brazil, henceforth we shall, concentrate on just four verbal forms. You will hear some Brazilians _use tu plus the verb for voe8. Whilst being grammatically incorret, itis neverthless a colloquially recognised usage in some areas. Note that Ter is used when you talk about your age, and not the verb Tobe, e¢ 1am 15 = Tenko 15 anos, (nés) temos we have 3 What's your/their name/s? There are different ways to express names in Portuguese, You can ay Qual 6 (seu) nome? What is (your) name? Or Como (woes) se chama? What are (you) called? Or even Quem & (voo8)? Who are/is ow? Answers may be: (meu) nome 6... (my) name is... Or (me) ‘chamo/a... (D)am/is called... Or soulé...am /s/he is. In the dialogue you were introduced to: ‘Como eles se chamam? What are they called, and Qual 6 0 nome dele? What is his name? Both ofthese are dealt with in fellowing sec- tions. 4. Verbs - present tense In Portuguese, the ending of the verb (the action word) changes according to whoever is carrying out the action (the verb's subject) 1t is vital to get straight at this point the fact that it does not matter if the person is male or female, but whether they are Ist person (I, we), ‘2nd (you) or Srd (he, she it they). Many people become confused when 2BRAZILIAN-PORTUGUESE first approaching these verb forms, as they have just managed to ‘master the concept ofthe ofa endings for male and female nouns and adjectives. Although these endings also appear on some verbs, they’ are NOT related to gender. Lets take a verb that you met in the dialogue and see what changes happen to it when we want different people to carry out the action. You had examples of the verb To work: trabalho — I work and ‘trabalha ~ he works /you work In Portuguese there aro three main groups of verbs, as well as a variety of irregular oddities. The main groups are: Group 1 ending in AR the most common; Group 2 ending in ER; Group 3 ending in IR. ‘The last two are very similar in endings. With only a few exceptions, all these verbs are formed in the same way: ‘© First you take off the ar) ending and you are left with what is called the stom, eg Trabalhar ~ trabalh, ‘© ‘Then you add on to this stem the appropriate ending according to whoever is doing the action, ‘© For-ar verbs, the endings you require areas follows stem+ ° 1 « he, she, you ‘am they, you (plural) Here are a few examples: falo speak gostamos we like trabalha he/she works/you work moram they, you live ‘The meanings are sometimes ambiguous, so to make sure you really ‘know who is doing the action, you may need to use the words for he (ele), she (ela), or they (eles, elas) 5 Como eles se chamam? More verbs! Some verbs are not content with changing their endings, but also have @ little word accompanying them, as in the above example: Se. ‘This word here means selves so the question actually means what do they call themselves? These ‘self’ words are known as ‘reflexive ‘pronouns’, and they make the verb into a reflexive verb, 22 ‘The fll set you need to know is: me myself nos ourselves se his/her/yourself se them/yourselves You will see that they are placed before the verb. If you were in Portugal or speaking with a Portuguese person, they would usually place them afterwards. Ifyou learnt some Portuguese before starting this course you may discover that in Brazil many of the rules of Grammar are much more flexible than in Portugal. 6 More possessives: his/her ‘To say his/her (and the plural then), in Portuguese, you should say’ the (thing) of himther/them, as in the dialogue: Qual ¢ © nome dele2What is his name? What isthe name of him? ‘The full forms ar: his laadela her his(p) os/as..dela —her(pl) ofa..cieles their oltadlelas their oas...deles their oslas..delas their egaschavesdeles theirkeys onomedela her name You will also hear sews (sua/s), the same form as your, but as this can cause confusion, i's better to use the other forms unless the context is completely unambiguous.

Despite the latter being considered more polite in English, it is not considered rude to use quer. Here are the to form in full: quero want queria [would like quer you, s/he queria you would like, wants) he, she, et. queremos wewant —_queriamos we would like querem —theywant —queriam they would like 2 To know or to know ‘There are two verbs for to know in Portuguese ~ saber is to know a fact or how to do something; eonbecer is to know a person, place and to-meet, get to know someone. sei conhego sabe conhece sabemos conhecemos sabem conhecem 64; Que horas sio?

Batidas are cocktails of wine, red or ‘white, blended with a fruit - favourites are batida de coco (coconut), morango (strawberry), maracuji (passion fruit), péssego (peach). Caipirinha is very potent and easly addictive! The zest of the lime mixed with the firewater, commonly refered to as pinga or eachaea, means itis extremely easy to drink in copious amounts. Be careful - it has a kick! During the February carnival many people take to the streets with cans filed with pure pinga tied around their necks. No wander they keep the samba going for five days!

This replacement of a future action with a verb in the present tense is very common in Portuguese, especialy in spoken dialogue. For example: Amanha vejo meu irmio~ Tomorrow Ti see my brother. Falamos a semana que vem ~ Well talk next week ‘As in English, you can also use the verb to go (i) to express future action. For example: ‘Vou a cidade amanhii ~ I'm going to town tomorrow. ‘The future tense willbe introduced later in the course. 4 Commands - levelvolte In unit 4, you learnt how to give directions, politely telling people what to do by saying you (do) this/that. There are also other ways of ordering people to do things more directly. These are called com: ‘mands, or more technically imperatives. Remember that you do not need to be annoyed with someone in order to command them to do or not do something. To form the commands, lok atthe following steps: AR verbs ER verbs IR verbs ‘comprar ‘comer partir (vocé) compra= come parte = you leave ‘you buy ‘To form the command change the verb endings tothe following: ‘comprEt= buy! —comA!=eat! ——_partAl = leave! " ‘There is a crossing-over of endings ~ the ar verbs take an -e, and the erfir verbs take an -a. To command more than one person, add an -m, For example: (voe8s) comprem! — comam! partam! ‘To tell somebody not to do something, simply place nie infront — nto ccomal don’ eat! Be careful with irregular verbs: here is a small selec- tion of some you have already come across: fazer aga! fagam! ver vet van! vir venha! vvenham! pedir egal eam! Be an the look-out for irregular verbs, but don't expect to take verbs ‘on board all at once. They are particularly tricky in Portuguese, and take time to learn, Didlogo 2 Sylvia next goes toa shoe shop ~ a sapataria, Sylvi ‘Bom dia, Queria ver uns sapatos em couro por favor. ‘Tem?

Sunday is the day for the infamous black bean stew cooked with all kinds of sausage and off-cuts ~ feijoada. Sometimes its better not to enquire what every bit isl It is served with rice, couve & mineira (sauté greens) and farofa - a bread crumb misture (manioe), and also a slice of orange to aid digestion. In the south you are more likely to eat in a churrasearia ~ rodizio ~a sort of organised barbecue, where waiters circle the tables with swordsful of every meat you can imagine. As your plate empties you simply catch the seaiters' attention, There is ‘usually a help-yourself salad bar, and normally you pay one price nd eat until you burst. This is particularly popular in the gaticho — cowboy regions ofthe south. More about these later in the course.

In order to say to me, to you, etc. you need, ‘unfortunately, another set of object pronouns, called indirect object pronouns. They are: me tome nos tous The tohhim/her/you les {to them/you **te to 90u) i used more frequently than Ihe. — 423‘You use these cach time the English has the word fo infront of the pronoun. You have to be onthe look-out, though, because often this is ‘omitted in English. Study this sentence: Give him the book. If we break it down, we have: Verb Direct object (noun) Indirect object (pronoun) five the book TO him {In Portuguese this would then be: Ihe dé 0 livro (or dé-the o livro) You will also hear dé 0 livro para ele.

However, Brazilian usage is more Muid, and in the spoken language particularly, you will find the pronouns before the verb in many instances 4 (0) que, (0) qué, por qué, porque, por que It can be confusing to come across similar words with the addition, or absence of, written accents, as in the above examples.

We do the same in English - I'm going to vist Italy next summer. We're going to buy ear next week. Remind yourself ofthe formation of IR from unit 3. Vou visitar minha tiana I'm going to visit my aunt semana que vem. ext week, Jaime vai comprar um Tames is going to buy a book livro amanha. tomorrow. Vamos ganhar na loteria We're going to win the lottery ‘no sibado. on Saturday. 2 Future plans - future tense You can also use the future tense, of course, to discuss your future actions, although in practice it is used loss in spoken Portuguese. It ‘an be used to emphasise particularly important actions. I is formed inthe following way: ‘Tothe infinitive ofany verb add: ei -emos 4 io eg. comprarei falario Tshall buy they/you (pb will talk “47However, there are three exceptions: fazer = FAR + endings trazer = TRAR + endings dizer = DIR + endings All other verbs follow the regular pattern — a welcome relief to all learners! In dialogue 1, the girl said estarei Ia -1 shall be there. She could also have said vou estar li, and even just estou li. In colloquial Portuguese itis common to substitute the present tense for the future TI buy a car tomorrore See you on Sunday ¢g: Compro um carro amanha ‘Te vejo no domingo 3 Future plans — future times ‘You will need some time phrases to express your future actions. the day after tomorrow next week/month year que vem ofa préximola semana, nest week/month year més, ano domingoino sébado, ete. Sunday /on Saturday, et. 4 Gostaria - conditionals Gostaria is an example of a verb in what is termed a ‘conditional’ form. In English, we use the word would in eonditonals. Ifyou think that conditional actually means there isa ‘condition’ imposed on the action, it may help you to understand these structures. For example, 1 ‘would buy a car (but I don't have the money). IF Thad the money is the condition. With the example ofthe verb fo ike, the condition may be seen in terms of I would like to..F that’s OKAF 1 may. Conditionals do lead into a complex part of Portuguese verb usage, however the actual formation is as straightforward as that of the fature tense. Infinitive + ia 148 ARE YOU FREE TOMORROW AFTERNOON? (Fazer becomes faria, trazer becomes traria, and dizer becomes iia.) Eucomprariaumearro I would buy a car ‘Maria falaria com ele ‘Mary would speak with him ‘As an alternative to gostaria in colloquial Portuguese, you may also hear gostava/gostavalgostivamo/gostavam. You will meet these forms again in unit 17, 5. Ha-de ser/tenho que obligation - must {In Portuguese there are various ways to express obligation or having to do something, The most commonly-used in the spoken language is TER QUE or TER DE, as in Syivia’s tenho que fazer um trabalho... In English we would say I've got to.. Stronger obligation is expressed through the verb DEVER fo have to/must. Here itis almost your duty to do something. Devo terminar este trabalho I must finish this work ‘antes de sair. before going out. And in expressions such as: Eles devem estar perdidos. They must be lost ‘There i also the use of the verb HAVER to have, plus DE, which con- veys even stronger duty, something which is really bound to happen. hei-de hemos de hé-de hto-de For example: Hei-de ganhar na loteria Ha-de ser bom Tee just got to win the lottery. Tes bound to be good. 6 Apartir de When you want to say fom (a certain point) onwards’ you use a ppartir de plus a point in time.

Sylvia uses afew examples to talk about what she is currently involved in doing: Estou adorando...,fazendo..., desfrutando. With the verb ESTAR in the present, this structure conveys an action currently taking place. For example: Eles estio falando, They are talking (now). ‘Agora estamos dormindo. Now we are sleaping.
