| VOCAB AND PHRASE USAGE |
| Braden: Let's have a closer look at the usuage for some of the words and phrases from this lesson. |
| Braden: Let's take a closer look at some of the words and phrases from this lesson. |
| Sandra-: In the dialogue, we heard the phrase gosto sim |
| Braden: The literal translation is “like yes” |
| Sandra-: but it means, “yes I like it.” remember that in Portuguese, Pronouns can often be dropped which is why there is no eu in the sentence. |
| Braden: and this is another example ofwhat we talked about in lesson 6 where the full phrase is “Sim eu gosto sim.” but it’s been shortened to just, “gosto sim.”for convenience. |
| Braden: Could you break this down? |
| Sandra-: (break down) |
| Braden: So what's our next phrase/word? |
| Sandra-: In the dialogue, we heard the phrase não tenho coordenacão...não |
| Braden: The literal translation is “no have coordination... No” |
| Sandra-: but it means, “I am not coordinated.” In Portuguese you say that you “have coordination” not that you “are coordinated.” |
| Braden: Could you break this down? |
| Sandra-: (break down) |
| Braden: So what's our next phrase/word? |
| Sandra-: In the dialogue, we heard the phrases ter que vs. ter de |
| Braden: The literal translation is “to have that versus to have of” |
| Sandra-: but they both mean, “ have to.” we talked about this in lesson 7 and just wanted to touch on it again. |
| Braden: the most correct way To say “have to” is ter de. but you will hear many people say “ter que.” both are acceptable. |
| Braden: Could you break this down? |
| Sandra-: (break down) |
| Braden: So what's our next phrase/word? |
| Sandra-: In the dialogue, we heard the words ensaiar vs. treinar |
| Braden: Both of these words translate to “to practice.” |
| Sandra-: however, ensaiar is used more for the arts almost in the sense of the rehearsal but not quite so final. Treinar,On the other hand, used more for sports,Like soccer practice. |
| Braden: Could you break this down? |
| Sandra-: (break down) |
| Braden: Let's take a look at the grammar point. |
Lesson focus |
|---|
| Braden: So Sandra-, what's the focus of this lesson? |
| Sandra-: The focus of this lesson is expressing ownership using the verb ter |
| Braden: In the dialogue, we heard the phrase |
| Sandra-: Uma amiga minha tem uma escola de samba. |
| Braden: Which we translated as "A friend of mine has a samba school." |
| Sandra-: Let's look at the verb ter |
| Braden: The verb ter means “to have.” and in the sentence, it is conjugated to the 3rd person singular form, tem. |
| Sandra-: Just like the verb “to have” in English, "ter" in Portuguese is one of the standard ways to show possession and express ownership. |
| Braden: Luckily for us ter and “to have” have almost the exact same meanings and uses. So let's look at the contributions. Ter conjugates in the singular as follows - |
| Sandra-: tenho |
| Braden: I have |
| Sandra-: tens |
| Braden: thou hast |
| Sandra-: tem |
| Braden: "he/she/it has" or "you have." Ter conjugates in the plural as follows, |
| Sandra-: temos |
| Braden: we have |
| Sandra-: tendes |
| Braden: ye have |
| Sandra-: têm |
| Braden: They have or y'all have. Just a quick note, there is no pronunciation difference between the singular form of tem and the plural form of têm. But they are spelled differently, kind of. |
| Sandra-: Yes, the singular form is spelled T–E–M. The plural form is also spelled, T–E–M. the difference is that the plural form has a circumflex accent over the "E." |
| Braden: So, could you give us an sample sentences? |
| Sandra-: Sure. let students same order as the verb conjugation. |
| Braden: We're going to have to leave out the "tu" and "vós" forms though. |
| Sandra-: That's fine. so, here we go - Eu tenho dois irmãos. |
| Braden: which translates to “I have two brothers.” |
| Sandra-: Ele tem pouco tempo. |
| Braden: which translates to "He has little time." |
| Sandra-: Nós temos muito dinheiro. |
| Braden: which translates to “We have a lot of money.” |
| Sandra-: Eles têm muitos amigos. |
| Braden: which translates to “They have a lot of friends.” |
| Sandra-: Lets review this lesson. |
| Braden: The verb ter is one of the most frequently used verbs in Portuguese. |
| Sandra-: It has many meanings and uses and one of the most common ones is to express ownership. |
