Start here to answer some written questions in the comments section or sent to my email. The answer to the extent that it allows my time and my work, so if there are many, can take a while, but I answer each one. First, they may use the form found above header of the blog, which checks if the term that interests them (eg "infinitive pessoal") is presented in the blog entries where it appears.
can also search "tags" and the file of each month. If you are looking for is not there, nor in the list of useful links, and here, can leave a comment with the query or send a message.


CECIS query:
wanted to consult you if you know some Portuguese fado performers relating to recommend. My grandfather always told me that fado was very similar to tango.

CECIS this link that leads to wikipedia you will find much information on where the item you want, Written in Portuguese. If you prefer English, you can click this other link . also find a lot of videos available on youtube.com
With tango may have in common a tendency to melancholy, lyrics that make you think about life and its difficulties, as an art form to metaphysics. Beyond that, the tango has its own characteristics, their origin, their instruments, their dance steps, his language "slang", born from the mixture of immigrant languages.

yours Another question is: Is there some rule
when verbs have h in its last syllable? Never know what to do with it eg fonctionner ...

CECIS in Portuguese the "lh" is a digraph, ie, two letters that represent a single sound. They are inseparable. Like the "ch" or "ll" in English. The sound of "lh" is the utter when we mention the writer Paulo Coelho.
If you have problems with cinjugación of verbs, I recommend using this page where you first see the definition of the word and then you see the option to combine it. Gustavo

question: How do I tell
eg Tell me or tell me? "Conta-me?
If you talk to the other person "you", the correct form is conta-me, and if you use the "você" is "conte-me." The oblique pronoun is never used to beginning of a sentence. However, in spoken language, is common to hear "He told me" even if not grammatically correct. For more details, please see my lesson on pronoun placement .

Olga, from Mexico, sought information useful for the analysis of texts and writing. Well, in those two links above are useful lessons.

I hope this will be very útil.Espero that everyone is better and better communicated.

My

Portuguese first class the teacher got a Brazilian, a kind person and very well qualified to teach the language and culture of their country. After several months of study in the language lab of the university, talking about the same subject matter in this article: some differences between the Portuguese spoken in Brazil and Portugal.
There are some differences in pronunciation and vocabulary, as they are also found to a lesser extent, within the territory of Brazil, it is a big country.
In 500 years of history of Brazil, the Portuguese settlers coexisted with Aboriginal languages, the languages \u200b\u200bof former slaves and later, the immigrant languages: German, Italian, Japanese, etc. So what we found for example in food names (vatapá, canjica), the familiar form of struggle (capoeira) Ylos names of some places (Itaquaquecetuba, Itapetininga, Araraquara). This
link, we can find many differences in vocabulary, and learn some idiomatic expressions. Another difference is that in Brazil it is customary to use the gerund ending in "ing", eg "estou studying was" while in Portugal is usually "estou a estudar.
In these other links are videos with news, sports and variety Brazil and Portugal to you can hear both. Rercordemos
further that the Portuguese is the official language in Angola, Mozambique, Guiné Bissau, São Tomé e Príncipe and Cavo Verde, so this extends to more than two countries. Not so different after all, what happens with the English language.

This year included some of the most frequently used verbs, for example, be, have and be . Are in the present tense, in a brief text that lets you use most them. You can also repeat them aloud or write these lines several times. First is the text in English and then the Portuguese version. If your level is intermediate or advanced, you can translate as you read. If you are a beginner, you can compare both versions and later, knowing the words, do the exercise.

Las palabras acute (llamadas en oxytone Portuguese) llevan el stress en cuando terminan:

A (s) you are, will, will speak
E (s) you, coffee, even English, French, Japanese
O (s): grandmother (abuela), grandparents (abuelos), grandfather (abuelo)
In (the en su plural ens): congratulations (Congratulations), aussi, alguem

As you can see from the examples, the stress can be acute or circunflexo (^). When using this second accent will be on an "a", an "e" or an "or." It is used when the vowel is in a context where no vowel is pronounced.

In the conjugation of verbs such as "b" (have) or "virtual" (come), is used cincunflexo in the third person plural: eels tem, eels vin.
In verbs derived from them such as blankets (keep) obter (get), provide (come), acute accent is placed in the third person singular (ele mantém) and circunflexo in the third person plural (Ls mantêm). According to the spelling reform
d ela Portuguese language, cincunflexo not use anymore:
1. in the third person plural of present do indicative or the subjunctive of the verb "crer", "give", "ler", "view" and its derivatives. The correct way is "Believe me," "deem", "readme" and "veem"
2. palavras em em ended hiatus "oo" as "enjo" ou "vôo", which are now written "enjo" and "voo"

For more details, see the article on spelling reform .
