Já also means “have you ever” when used with a question mark.
“Já viste este filme?”
"Liga já" in TV commercials and half of TVI's regular programs. "Call now"
Yes, true!
In my humble opinion, this is one of your best videos. You certainly clarified things for me.
Glad to hear it! 😊
As a native Portuguese speaker, it’s super interesting to hear about the “rules” behind where these words should go in a sentence to mean different things. I’ve just been used to hearing and saying them like that without realizing that there is some order to it. 😄
In Brazil, the movement to end the dictatorship was "Direitas já!." It meant "right now," not "already."
Thank you so much! I am Ukrainian and learning português. You are treasure for me. So clear, so interesting! Very helpful. Thank you!
So glad to hear that! :)
See you soon: até já
🇧🇷 Você está vindo? Já já eu chego aí.
Good lesson! I understand that JA means "already & right now." CA means "here and is more general than aqui." And LA is used when a person is being rude or short with someone.
You nailed the first two! Lá isn't used when a person is being rude or short with someone :)
já era altura de fazer este vídeo! 😊
« Vai là pra fora…jà ! » was a phrase my grand-mother used to say very often when the dog was trying to get into the house 😊 thanks for the excellent video
Thanks for sharing!!
When you talk about sentence with sub title ENG little bit slow down. Cause fast talk learn difficult. Well done.Mam your very very sweet presenting
Good video, as usual.
Just adding a couple more.
When used with an imperative form, after the verb, "já" means immediately, right now, right this instant. ex Vem cá já! Vai lá, já. Liga-lhe já. Pede já desculpa.
When it's used with a verb in the present tense and is placed before the verb, "já" can mean in a moment, like in a delayed action. Ex. Já vou. (meaning I'll be there in a moment; whereas "Vou já" would mean I'm on my way or I'm coming). Já faço. (I'll do it in a moment - soon but not right now.). Já comemos. (We'll eat soon - not right now. And I realize this one is tricky.)
"Sei lá." isn't rude per se (just means you don't know something and you have no way of knowing). It's all in the way you say it. Just like "Vá lá.". This expression can be just as rude, depending on intonation. Btw, "Vá lá." can mean ok/all right as when you're agreeing to something (usually after some insistence).
Excelente explicação!!! Muito certeira e comunicativa!
Fixe! So glad you enjoyed 😊
it is great timing. i am missing some words to make phrases and the word now was one of them
Awesome, I'm so glad this was helpful!
I have heard Até Já!
Very good class
Only one request is
I can't see the Portuguese letters because
overriding English letters
We also have "já foste" when used casualy can be translated to "you are screwed"
Já foste de carrinho
Já foste com os porcos
Já foste com o cara***
"É que é já a seguir "
Já foste borda fora
Liz, I loved this video! Thank you for posting!
I'm so glad!
I was struggling with this exact words. Thanks 🙏
De nada! 😊
Isso ajuda imenso!
Emphatic apology: Desculpe lá!
Yes, good one!
Absolutely brilliant video. I hope you can continue to do make more like this ❤
Thank you, I will!
Another good one!!
Glad you think so!
A great video today
I'm so glad!
This is so refreshing! Good to be able to have a repertoire of everyday replacements.
One suggestion if I may please , could you please leave the words on screen a tad longer? As I try to read both Portuguese and English words you talk about, it is helpful (to me at least!) If they remain there longer where possible.
🙏
Noted, thanks!
Well understood, obrigado
De nada!
Ja vou
Signs in shop windows: Volta já
Yes, good one!
No Brasil não usamos “cá”. Usamos aqui em casa e aqui no Brasil.
"Já Já estou aí"
💛💙
Obrigada Liz! O vídeo foi fantástico e ajudou-me muito. Nunca sabia que a posição da palavra “já” faz uma diferença no significado, ninguém me explicou até agora. Com certeza, vai transformar a minha forma de falar e dar-me mais confiança. Obrigada!
I'm so glad! De nada!
ate ja,,,,
So im confused about a lot of words that appear to mean something but when used in a sentence they mean something else.
Like lá means "there", but she then gives examples about how you can use Lá to show distain. The sentences she says doesnt have the word "there" anywhere and its just confusing.
Ive seen a similar situation with the word "Se" and the sentence using this word didnt have "If" anywhere in the sentence.
Another case was the word "Em". Ive seen examples of the word meaning both "In" and "At"
Im not understanding why this is the case so if anyone has any information to clear this up I would be very grateful.
Olá, a língua portuguesa tem várias palavras que significam coisas diferentes em vários contextos. È a mesma coisa que uma pessoa instalar um idioma de teclado no seu windows PC , por exemplo , windows 10 , e ela escrever na sua língua materna mas com os carácteres de outra língua , por exemplo árabe, russo, chinês, coreano . Se eu instalar o idioma coreano no meu windows e começar a falar em português mas com as letras em coreano , vai sair tudo errado e ninguém vai entender nada, nem mesmo os coreanos vão entender. O que acontece é que Lá significa "There" traduzido á letra mas pode ser usado para outras frases , e não necessariamente tem de significar "there" traduzido á letra. "Vai lá " - "Go there" ,
"Anda lá meu " - "Come on man"
" Se " , não necessariamente tem de significar " If " , como por exemplo na frase " Se faz favor " que significa " Please " , seria estranho se fosse dito " If please" no entanto " If please" pode ser dito " Se por favor" , MAS.. nesse caso tu terias de adicionar mais alguma palavra depois do " Se por favor " , por exemplo, " Se por favor, a senhora me pudesse explicar isto, eu ficaria grato", mas geralmente a palavra " Se " significa " If " ,mas pode não ser sempre!
"Em" pode significar "in" ou "at" dependendo do contexto da frase por exemplo "em casa" - "at home" , "em Portugal" - "in Portugal".
Peço desculpa escrever em Português, mas eu sinto que é mais fácil explicar em Português do que em Inglês, qualquer coisa basta você traduzir selecionando todo o texto e clicar com o botão direito do mouse e clicar em traduzir.
Fui o mais "crú" possível acerca do tópico, não sou expert na matéria, mas sou português.
Espero que ajude, 4 meses depois . Mas mais vale tarde do que nunca.
