This is lesson is packed with useful information. This will be used on a daily basis so it will be easy to remember. It was interesting to learn that the word “feira” may have come from an old word for workday. How interesting!
You use the plural form with all days except for the 1st. What you are literally saying with "Hoje são 19 de agosto" is "Today it's 19 (days) of August".
Do you mean in "Quantos são hoje?" I translated it as "what day of the month is it today?" but the Portuguese sentence doesn't have the word "dia". The literal meaning is "how many are today?".
Just the right time for this for me - obrigada senor

obrigada pelos seus videos.
Great but sure wish there was an option to slow down the speed especially on difficult sounding words such as Verao (summer)
I suspect I'll be fluent in Portuguese by August 34th.
We should all throw you a "welcome to Portuguese fluency" party on August 33rd.
muito obrigado 😍
De nada!
Thanks for the video.
Obrigado! Foi divertido. Tomei notas :)
Obrigado, muito claro!
Tudo bem 🧐👍👍👍
Tudo bem!
I wonder why "Today is August 19th" is using "Sao" ("third party plural form" ) instead of "E" (third party singular form) ? Obrigado

@@SimpletonPortuguese Muito obrigado pela explicação !
Why do we use são when asking what day it is? Day is singular, no?

My head hurts.......
@@leviathon2 I'm sorry. :(
so nowadays, portuguese people still think that the Sunday is the start of the week, is it right?
No. Our weeks start on Monday like everyone else's. We're used to calling the first day "segunda" and don't even think about it.
"Messes" how can't you say that?
When an S is alone it has a Z sound , when there is 2 S(ss) it has a SSSS sound.
Hello sir you are talking so fast for beginners is very dificult to catch.
I'll try to speak slower in later videos. Obrigado for your feedback.
