Spelling mistakes on pt.SE? Impocível!!

brazilianldsjaguar

Sep 23, 2015 17:50

e.g. little things like accents are easily ignored/forgotten

brazilianldsjaguar

Sep 23, 2015 17:49

But in the context of things like text messages and emails

brazilianldsjaguar

Sep 23, 2015 17:49

Many times I see sai used in the context of saí

brazilianldsjaguar

Sep 23, 2015 17:49

Perfect :D

brazilianldsjaguar

Sep 23, 2015 17:48

... and sai is one syllable while saí is two, right?

brazilianldsjaguar

Sep 23, 2015 17:47

Saio hoje sabendo muito mais. :D

brazilianldsjaguar

Sep 23, 2015 17:47

E pelas explicações!

brazilianldsjaguar

Sep 23, 2015 17:47

Obrigado gente pelas respostas!

brazilianldsjaguar

Sep 23, 2015 17:45

In English we use "Your Honor", which I guess would be "Vossa Honra"?

brazilianldsjaguar

Sep 23, 2015 17:45

I believe that, in courts and other formal settings, vossa exelência is still used, correct?

brazilianldsjaguar

Sep 23, 2015 17:44

Well, so is my wife ... but we won't go there ;)

brazilianldsjaguar

Sep 23, 2015 17:43

Never knew that @Jacinto!

brazilianldsjaguar

Sep 23, 2015 17:43

Uau

brazilianldsjaguar

Sep 23, 2015 17:41

My teachers had a fun time explaining that ;)

brazilianldsjaguar

Sep 23, 2015 17:40

used like 2nd person but conjugated like 3rd

brazilianldsjaguar

Sep 23, 2015 17:40

I see

brazilianldsjaguar

Sep 23, 2015 17:40

Oh but the way you conjugate

brazilianldsjaguar

Sep 23, 2015 17:39

@tchrist ... well, você is also 2nd person

brazilianldsjaguar

Sep 23, 2015 17:38

@tchrist Sounds like the use of você in Brazil

brazilianldsjaguar

Sep 23, 2015 17:38

And other slightly-off constructs, such as: feri-los-á

brazilianldsjaguar

Sep 23, 2015 17:37

All the tu and vós I've learned is in the scriptures :p

brazilianldsjaguar

Sep 23, 2015 17:37

So to me it sounds like I'm saying the first-person past perfect

brazilianldsjaguar

Sep 23, 2015 17:36

@Jacinto Agreed -- I guess what I'm trying to say is I've never heard "ouvi" in the vós context.

brazilianldsjaguar

Sep 23, 2015 17:35

(not familiarity with spelling or conjugation, as I see them -- but just of hearing them pronoucned)

brazilianldsjaguar

Sep 23, 2015 17:35

I think that's my biggest problem, is the lack of familiarity with the vós form

brazilianldsjaguar

Sep 23, 2015 17:34

And the "aceitação" of the fact that "ouvi" is not only past perfect, but also imperitive

brazilianldsjaguar

Sep 23, 2015 17:34

But if it's correct, my notion of how it sounds should be corrected

brazilianldsjaguar

Sep 23, 2015 17:34

Which is what I thought, but it just "sounded" weird (to my wife and I) when reading it out loud

brazilianldsjaguar

Sep 23, 2015 17:33

yes -- @Jacinto this is the rule which I learned

brazilianldsjaguar

Sep 23, 2015 17:31

@tchrist Which is why I asked the question ;)

brazilianldsjaguar

Sep 23, 2015 17:31

@Jacinto não, conheço não

brazilianldsjaguar

Sep 23, 2015 17:31

Ahhh, that's a good way to explain it

brazilianldsjaguar

Sep 23, 2015 17:31

But my wife (from São Paulo) was pronouncing it (and telling me it should be pronounced) with the emphasis on the first syllable

brazilianldsjaguar

Sep 23, 2015 17:30

And I understand it, gramatically ...

brazilianldsjaguar

Sep 23, 2015 17:30

Yes, it's heavily used

brazilianldsjaguar

Sep 23, 2015 17:30

The text I was reading? Scripture

brazilianldsjaguar

Sep 23, 2015 17:29

@tchrist My background: American that learned Portuguese while living in Brazil on an evangelical mission

brazilianldsjaguar

Sep 23, 2015 17:29

rsrs, obrigado pela conversa aqui ...

brazilianldsjaguar

Sep 23, 2015 17:29

Oi gente

brazilianldsjaguar

Sep 23, 2015 15:50

Q: What's the rule for pronouncing similarly-spelt verb conjugations?

Recently, while reading through a book written in extremely formal Portuguese, I came across this line: Ó, meus amados irmãos, ouvi minhas palavras. The word in question here is ouvi. Normally when I see this word, it is in this context: Eu ouvi o que você falou. I understand the diff...

Meu, não sei se consegui me explicar bem aqui nessa pergunta ... qq coisa estou aqui pra esclarecer! :D
