European Portuguese | Small Talk (16 phrases you NEED!)

Who will you try these small talk phrases with?

You can say Como está a sua mãe? if the person you are asking is someone you show more respect to (like a neighbour) or "Como está a tua mãe" if you are talking to a close friend. We do say "How's your mom?"

The student needs to develop his or her own individual learning system adapted to your daily routine, area of activity, rhythm of life, interests, etc. First of all, you need to understand what problems are preventing you from learning a foreign language effectively. There is a lot of good material for learning a language on the Internet, but many people don't know how to use it as effectively as possible. However, the practice of Yuriy Ivantsiv "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign language" will help you structure and organize your individual language learning process, allow you to find a method of language learning that will be interesting and unencumbered.

Great video content. Thank you. I do become distracted with the constant panning. Please switch off that function. Derek

I temporarily live next door to a very sweet, adorable older couple. They always greet me and I’ve wanted to say something more than “Bom Dia”. Thank you Liz!

I really the videos of your as teenager I am.I speak portuguese well and english I am improving with you. I really became your fan.Thanks for your videos. Greetings from Angola.

Very well done...

Thanks for the videos, they are very helpful. Please tell us what the nouns and verbs mean.

Very interesting. Many of these have actually their exact corresponding phrase in Spanish with the same words. Sometimes when I learn Portuguese I feel that I'm revising my own language.🤣 Obrigado, este vídeo vai melhorar o meu português e me dará a confiança de que estou a falar português e nao portuñol.

"Como está a mãe" would only be said by a sibling to another, because it's assumed that "a mãe" - the mother - is both theirs. If one is inquiring after someone's mom, not our own - one must add "a tua" - your mother. Como está A TUA(/SUA) mãe? In very informal contexts, where the "asker" knows the mother in question or has a relation with the son, where concern for his mother may be appropriate, "como está a mãe" may be used, but it's not common. Maybe with older people, but definitely not a usual occurrence. ;-) As for the weather... colloquially we don't really say those sentences. We may complain that it's really hot/cold - "está imenso/tanto calor/está tanto frio!", or "o tempo está muito agradável (pleasant/agreeable)". "Kidad tem?" "Tem nUvidades"? Love the videos! Keep them coming. ;-)

Que maravilha! Um dos mais bonitos sorrisos em portuguees e de uma inglesa. : )))

In Brazilian Portuguese we use to say "Como está sua mãe?" instead of "Como está a mãe?" In pt-br, we write "bebê" instead of "bebé" although pronunciation is the same. There are some other differences as well.

Thanks for your channel, I was slightly disappointed with duolingo using Brazilian Portuguese. This is much more how my azorean family sounds.

Thank you 🙏 ❤

2023 am here to learn portugese❤

Very useful.

A very good resource is to put the Youtube video on a slower speed ( Select custom & adjust the speed) ¡Thank you!

Interesting. In Hiberno-English, it's quite common among friends to say something like "How's the mother?"

One of my favourites is the one you covered in a recent video "E então?"

As usual another brilliant video thank you so much Liz
