| Oi gente! Hi everyone, Paloma here! Welcome to Top 10 Phrases You Always Want to Hear |
| “Você ganhou!” You won! |
| So especially if it’s a big prize, like a lottery, you always want to hear this phrase, right? For example: |
| “Você ganhou a loteria!” You won the lottery! |
| “Estou com saudades de você.” I miss you. |
| Especially for people that travel a lot, this is a common phrase to hear. When you’re in your big travel, your family might call you, and say. |
| “Ai, que bom que você ligou! Eu estava com saudades de você.” Oh, that's so good that you called! I was missing you. |
| “Eu trouxe uma coisinha pra você.” I brought you something. |
| Who doesn’t like presents? So when your friend comes back from traveling, he might bring you a gift or a souvenir and say: |
| “Eu trouxe uma coisinha pra você.” I brought you something. |
| “O orçamento é ilimitado.” The budget is unlimited. |
| So maybe at your work, your boss might tell you: |
| “O orçamento é ilimitado para a festa. “ The budget is unlimited to the party. |
| So it can be a big party, with all of your friends and all families from everyone in your company! |
| “Vai ter um bônus no final do mês.” There will be a bonus at the end of the month. |
| Yeah… money is always good, right? So if your boss comes to you, and tells you: “Vai ter um bônus…” you need to be prepared, because there’s a bonus coming up. |
| “Vai ter um bônus no final do mês.” There will be a bonus at the end of the month. |
| “Você é um cozinheiro excelente!” You're an excellent cook! |
| Complements are always good, so if someone tells you “Você é um excelente (something),” it means that you’re excellent at something. “Você é um cozinheiro excelente!” You're an excellent cook! |
| “Você é uma excelente cantora!” You're an excellent singer!" |
| “Você está ótimo hoje!” (masculine) You look great today! |
| Especially for women, we go, and we put makeup, and we brush our hair, and we do a lot of things, and no one says anything. So guys, just be nice to girls and say: “Você está ótima hoje!” (feminine) You look great today! |
| “Você estava certo.” You were right. |
| If you have a discussion with someone, and he’s always telling you “no, you’re wrong, you’re wrong, you’re wrong.” And then he finally figures out that no, he was wrong, and you were the right person. He might tell you, “É, você estava certo.” Yeah, you were right. |
| “Você fez um ótimo trabalho!” You did a great job! |
| So your boss at work, or your teacher at school might tell you “Você fez um ótimo trabalho!” You did a great job! |
| “Você pode descansar. Eu vou fazer a faxina hoje.” Take a break. I'll do the cleaning today. |
| Yeah, that’s a good one, right? I don’t think many people like to do the cleaning. I don’t. But if someone comes to you and say “Você pode descansar.” You can take a break. “Eu vou fazer a faxina hoje.” I’ll do the cleaning today. Yeah, that’s a good one. Yeah, I’ll allow someone to do that for me. |
| The end! That’s it for today. I hope you enjoyed it, and see you in our next video! Tchau tchau! |
