Description

This episode is the first one of three episodes that will discuss the correct way of using the Adverbs of Place: Aqui (here), and Aí and Lá (There). The adverb of place AQUI indicates proximity with the speaker.

Exemplos:


Exemplo 1: Let’s pretend my friend lost her phone and she is searching it in the kitchen. I’m in the living room and find it on the couch. Then I shout: 

 “Mariana, seu celular está aqui no sofá.”
 

Exemplo 2: It’s December and I am on the phone with my friend who is in Italy. 

So, I tell her “Aqui no Brasil está muito calor”.

And she replies “Aqui na Itália está fazendo muito frio"

Addend:

The adverb of place is most used in the following sentence: "Venha cá!" (come here). On a day to day basis, people say informally "Vem cá!".

Palavras em português usadas no podcast:

Fala, gente!

Eu tenho um amigo americano.

Advérbio de lugar.

Por hoje é só, pessoal! Até a próxima.
