(Good news grammar Remember, I promised? No ghastly grammar! Every week I just txplain a few things, especially the differences berween English nd Portuguese. This will help you to speak Portuguese Instantly! 4. Names of things - nouns There are two kinds of nouns in Portuguese ~ masculine and feminine. This means that there are two ways of saying the or when you tall about things. ‘You use o and um for masculine nouns and a and uma for feminine nouns. o dinhsiro the money sum banco a bank ft casa the house toma amiga (foal) friend ‘fc the ending of the noun el ou if is maveine oF For example, if the ending is ~, like in banco, ic is usually masculine it fit is-a ke in ea, its normally feminine, The adjective which deacribes the noua frequently hymes along? ‘with the same ending: um ano chato, uma casa bonita Unfortunately, many other nouns and adjectives have endings which dont give you a cle as fo whether theyre masculine OF Feminine, like telefone or grande or bom. But don't worry ‘oul pick these up as you go along. When you talk about more than one thing, 0 becomes of, a bscomes at, and the noun usually jase ges an-s atthe end os fihos ~ the children, as seahoras ~ the ladies. But words ending inom dans the mom elo adding bom = bons. Easy not Best of alli if yom, sande, things up and oxy. mm fase Ot 4 in ably wi throw = ‘reryone will understand you peefeceytHQ rane ono pes 2 Doing things - verbs First the bad news: yerb drill just lke school! Unfortunately, ‘there is just no “quick fx’ ro memorize verb endings. Have a look at che two “gift boxes’ on the next page and the list of sic different persons doing something. As you can sce in ‘English there is only one small change to the verb work: he, she, frit works. But in Portuguese there are four different verb ‘endings ~ depending on who is doing something. [Now for the good news. Once you know the endings of ‘wabalhar (a ‘regular’ verb, a member of the Good Verbs Team) you can use the same endings with all other cegular -at verbs. [And even ter (nota team member) has a similar sort of patter, So its not that bad. Say the verbs out loud say chem with your eyes ‘dened then say them backwards. Ten mites for each box wil do. ‘T and ‘we’: eu and ads ~ When the Portuguese say ‘I am doing ‘something’ or "We ace doing something” they usually drop the et fd nds. So I weork is trabalho and sve have is temos, unless you ‘want fo stress that itis T o£ ‘we who are doing somethin. “You's senhor/a senhora - There are several ways to say ‘you’ jn Portuguese, O-senbor/a senhora and os senhores/as senhoras isthe polite and formal way used when addressing ane or several ‘ther adults especially strangers. Sounds grand, doesn’ it? ‘When you start making friends you can address them as voct or voces ~as opposed to o senhor/a seahora ~ and use their frst rnames. Voce and voces use the same verb endings as o senhor/a senhora and os senhores/as senhoras: ‘Luis, voc? teabalha para a Unilever? Another way of saying you is tu, plural 6s.
