| POST |
| John: Listen again to Eduardo's post. |
| Ana Clara: Vôlei na praia com o pessoal, a melhor parte das férias! |
| John: "Volleyball on the beach with the guys, the best part of the vacation!" |
| Ana Clara: (SLOW) Vôlei na praia com o pessoal, a melhor parte das férias! (Regular) Vôlei na praia com o pessoal, a melhor parte das férias! |
| John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "Volleyball on the beach with the guys." |
| Ana Clara: Vôlei na praia com o pessoal |
| John: The phrase |
| Ana Clara: Vôlei na praia... |
| John: ...means "volley on the beach," not to be confused with... |
| Ana Clara: vôlei de praia |
| John: which means "beach volleyball," the official sport. When followed by the masculine article o, the noun... |
| Ana Clara: pessoal |
| John: always means "the guys, folks, etc." In other situations, it means "personal, private, staff, people." Listen again- "Volleyball on the beach with the guys" is... |
| Ana Clara: (SLOW) Vôlei na praia com o pessoal (REGULAR) Vôlei na praia com o pessoal |
| John: Then comes the phrase - "the best part of the vacation." |
| Ana Clara: a melhor parte das férias |
| John: The last word is only used in the plural form. There is no singular form, and the rest of the sentence should follow its plural condition. |
| John: Listen again- "the best part of the vacation" is... |
| Ana Clara: (SLOW) a melhor parte das férias (REGULAR) a melhor parte das férias |
| John: All together, it's "Volleyball on the beach with the guys, the best part of the vacation!" |
| Ana Clara: Vôlei na praia com o pessoal, a melhor parte das férias! |
