is the nasal sound and a lot of people
don't like it but it's not that hard
imagine someone says
something and you don't quite here and
you go like ah it's almost that but it's
um okay so the sales van al is bound LS
van wonderful now let's see how to use
the verb and I'm gonna show you that
through four examples evolve up prior
news things juice Amana I go to the
beach on the weekends
notice how we say weekends things G
semana semana is in the singular and
notice that it's masculine because it
agrees with things
so I read this one again Evo a prior
news finish de semana y nunca vu l
cinema sauce Xenia I never go to the
movies by myself yo nunca vu l cinema
sauce Xenia notice the word cinema the
stronger syllable is new cinema also
notice that I say our cinema it means
this is a masculine word in ends in a
but usually words that end in Amma are
masculine stategy votre casa it's late
I'm going home again I start our g vu
pricasso
on a vibe para o brasil ana is going to
Brazil an Ave para o brasil now you
might be wondering is it if or if para
did you notice that I used the verb e
with the preposition are in examples one
and two and I use the preposition
pattern in examples three and four
you're probably wondering if it's all
the same and the answer is yes and no
according to the grammar you should use
e ah when you're going somewhere for a
short amount of time
oh this is the case with most things in
our lives such as when we go to the
beach to the movies to the school the
supermarket restaurants etc and you
should use para when you're going
somewhere for a relatively long time
this is the case when you're moving
somewhere also when you're going home
since home is your base location however
I'm going to tell you this in Brazil we
use Eva ne pas de interchangeably in
fact in Brazil para is the most commonly
used preposition with the verb if now
with that said if you're going to write
for work or school I recommend that you
choose your preposition according to the
grammar now is it Eva or if ow it's not
difficult I will show you it's just a
question of masculine or feminine if I
have the sentence I go to the beach on
the weekends this was the first example
in the lesson if I translate this
literally to Portuguese I will have AVO
ah
a praia so too is a preposition and in
Portuguese it's ah the the beach there
is an article in in Portuguese it's ah
so it's confusing because it seems like
you have the same word twice but it's
not
actually the same word one is a
preposition the second one is an article
and what happens is you cannot leave
them like that you have to put them
together they contract into one thing
and so you have fo a prior no stranger
semana and the pronunciation is the same
for the a preposition
they are article or this final
contraction between the two the same
thing happens in the masculine so this
was our sentence example two I never go
to the movies alone literally I'm gonna
have a long curve oh ah all cinema sauce
zinnia but I can't believe those two are
like that so I have to put them together
you know kaval all cinema sauce zinnia
and again this is because cinema is a
masculine word so there you go it's just
a question of feminine or masculine
great now let's see the five tips that I
promised you tip number one is that in
spoken Brazilian Portuguese we usually
say crap instead of para and instead of
para ah and this is informal but it's
pretty common in Brazil so my first
example would actually be evoke
proprietor
this is most likely what I would say and
in the masculine version its Pro Evo Pro
cinema and again this is more common in
spoken Portuguese although we also use
it when we write in on Facebook Twitter
writing emails to our friends but I
would not write it like that in a work
email tip number two to say that someone
is going home
always use the preposition para and do
not use an article before
Casa Oh in English you would not say
that you're going to home or to the home
so in Portuguese you don't say that
either is just going home so my example
would be ovo picasa an another example
on a Carlos van prakasha
so anacondas are going home tip number
three with the verb e we can use it in
the present tense to express a future
action and that's what I did in example
three which is on the screen now
each Taji votre casa I'm going home so
it's a future action however I'm using
the verb in the present tense in example
four I said Anna is going to Brazil and
a vie para o brasil so again I'm using
the verb in the present tense but it
indicates a future action tip number
four do not say OV o eva praia we don't
use the verb
twice in the same sentence like that so
we just say fo a praia and tip number
five you will hear people saying Evoque
na praia in Brazil you will hear that
it's grammatically wrong to use the
preposition a or one of its contractions
which here we have na it's wrong to use
it with the verb e however this use is
so common in Brazil that some
grammarians now consider it acceptable
so I would say use with care thank you
