Simpler way of explaining the differences: 1. Saber relates to information. Conhecer relates to people, places, things. 2. Poder = May, Conseguir = Can (same difference in English). 3. Pensar is thinking in general. Achar expresses an opinion. 4. Caminhar is associated with a path or destination. Andar is movement whether or not a path is traveled, with other meanings too.

Hi, you speak better Portuguese than I speak English, and I've been living in the UK for over 15 years.👍❤

[lxportugal]

Achar - in Portugal also means "to find" although the verb "encontrar" might be used more often

[dr.brijdablain]

Great thanks! Your teaching methods and explanations are best🌹🌹

[elizetemappel]

You can also say someone “anda triste/ anda preocupado”. It means the person seems to be sad/worried lately.

[Alxmir]

knowing french helped me for some verbs because they are very similar like saber(savoir) and conhecer(connaitre)

I find the difference between tomar, pegar, levar and apanhar pretty confusing at times because they all mean "to take" in English...

[theuzzzl]

Ainda a muito a melhorar mas parabéns ❤🎉

Can you make a video on how you should say "it/this/that" in European Portugese, like the difference between:
"Posso usar?"
"Posso usá-lo?"
"Posso usar isso/isto?"
The difference between these still confuses me a lot

[brunomadeira]

Using "achar" to find something lost wouldn't be that bad (like the purse exemple) with "encontrar" probably being the most common use (and "encontrar" is also one of those verbs with several meanings...). "Achar" can indeed have a lost of uses, you can even "achar" a great restaurant or a great bargain in a sale.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if there was a separate channel and/or website where Talk the Streeters could go to share their Brazilian information?

[dogstyle]

Ficar! WTHeck? This pops up everywhere. Please explain.

[carollaw]

when "andar" means find, how is it different from "encontrar"?
