INTRODUCTION |
Considering the fact that nowadays allergies are more common than ever, we decided to teach you how to explain if you have an allergy. |
GRAMMAR POINT |
In Portuguese, “I’m allergic to this product” is: |
Sou alérgico a este produto. |
Let’s break it down: |
(slow) Sou a-lér-gi-co a es-te pro-du-to. |
Once more: |
Sou alérgico a este produto. |
The first word Sou is a form of the verb that means “to be”. |
(slow) Sou. |
Sou. |
The second word alérgico means “allergic”. |
(slow) A-lér-gico. |
alérgico. |
Next we have a which means “at” or “to” - in this situation, it means “to”. |
The words este produto translate as “this product”. |
(slow) este produto |
este produto |
Let’s hear the expression again: |
Sou alérgico a este produto. |
You can point to the product at the same time. |
In a case of gluten allergy the phrase will sounds like this: |
Sou alérgico a glúten. |
“I’m allergic to gluten.” |
In this sentence you definitely were able to guess the meaning of the word glúten. That is “gluten”. |
(slow) glúten |
glúten |
Let’s hear that again: |
(slow) Sou a-ler-gi-co a glú-ten. |
Sou alérgico a glúten. |
・ |
In Portugal, we eat a lot of seafood. So if you’re allergic to it, remember the next sentence. |
Let’s try to say the word for seafood now. In Portuguese “seafood” is mariscos. |
(slow) ma-ris-cos |
mariscos |
“I’m allergic to seafood” is Sou alérgico a mariscos. |
Let’s hear it one more time slowly: |
(slow)Sou a-lér-gi-co a ma-ris-cos. |
Sou alérgico a mariscos. |
