| POST |
| John: Listen again to Luiza's post. |
| Ana Clara: Fazendo compras para matar a saudade da minha irmã querida! |
| John: "Going shopping with my dear sister! I was missing her." |
| Ana Clara: (SLOW) Fazendo compras para matar a saudade da minha irmã querida! (Regular) Fazendo compras para matar a saudade da minha irmã querida! |
| John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "Going shopping." |
| Ana Clara: Fazendo compras |
| John: This phrase means “to go shopping”. It shouldn't be confused with the gerund... |
| Ana Clara: comprando |
| John: which means the act of buying. Listen again- "Going shopping" is... |
| Ana Clara: (SLOW) Fazendo compras (REGULAR) Fazendo compras |
| John: Then comes the phrase - "with my dear sister! I was missing her." |
| Ana Clara: para matar a saudade da minha irmã querida |
| John: The phrase |
| Ana Clara: Matar a saudade |
| John: ...literally means "to kill the feeling of missing someone, the longing." The word... |
| Ana Clara: saudade |
| John: ...is a noun that encompasses this whole feeling. In Portuguese, to end it, you normally "kill it." In this case, it's "to kill the longing for my dear sister." Listen again- "to kill the longing for my dear sister" is... |
| Ana Clara: (SLOW) para matar a saudade da minha irmã querida (REGULAR) para matar a saudade da minha irmã querida |
| John: All together, "Going shopping with my dear sister! I was missing her." |
| Ana Clara: Fazendo compras para matar a saudade da minha irmã querida! |
