Who will you try these small talk phrases with?

[shannonblok]

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!

You aren't actually explaining each word actually mean. Love your videos by the way

[WizardOfTheDesert]

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

class stuff. thank you for these videos. I’m just starting and want to get fluent enough to engage as a respectful foreigner!

[JCcordobaa]

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.

Your a great teacher, it inspired me that your English as well since you rarely meet many English with language skills!

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

[feetrabbit]

"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. ;-)

As usual another brilliant video thank you so much Liz

[mariamoon]

It helped me a lot. Thank you very much ❤

[beatrixp]

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

[AxeDharme]

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

[vcarvalho]

Can I help a little bit to sound more natural? If you say 'Como está a mãe?' it implies you are very close or belong to the family (brothers/cousins/someone related to the mom). If not, you should use 'tua/sua mãe' thus must you say 'Como está a tua (informal) a sua (formal) mãe?' About the wheather you can 'compose' what you are saying by adding the word 'tão' then you say 'Que tempo tão frio/quente/chuvoso!' etc. About 'bebé', we open both 'e', like 'bébé'. Funny a brasilian would close both 'e', like the french would... In the pronuntiation of 'foram' we change the 'am' into 'ão' pronouncing 'fourão'. About regards to family '[Eu] mando cumprimentos à (open) família' ou just 'Cumprimentos à família' (most common use) . Please do not take the above words wrong, I just love your classes and I try to help. That's all. keep going!
