Mariana: Como posso ensinar gênero para meu amigo Austin? Professora: Ele não fala o português? Mariana: Sim e não. É porque ele é dos Estados Unidos e consegue conversar e entender até bem mas tem muitos erros. Principalmente no masculino feminino. Eu já tentei explicar essas coisas à ele mas ele continua na mesma. Professora: Que tipo de erro ele comete? Me dá uns exemplos. Mariana: Bem, por exemplo ontem o computador dele estava com problema e ele falou "a sistema operadora do computador." Aí ajudei ele um pouco e consertamos o computador e ele falou para mim. "Obrigado, você é tão bondoso." Professora: hmmm... Mariana: E de vez em quando ele me chama de "ele." Professora: Eita, tá complicado então. Bem, as vezes ajuda explicar que masculino e feminino não tem vínculo fixo a realidade, ou seja, que é um elemento gramatical. Não uma perspectiva sobre a realidade. Mariana: Como assim? Professora: As vezes no ponto de vista dos estrangeiros certas coisas como "mesa" são realmente femininas no português. Ou seja, que na mente brasileira, uma mesa têm sexo e não só gênero. As vezes ajuda mostrar que isto é somente uma função gramatical. Mariana: Obrigada. Vou pensar um pouco mais. ----Formal English---- Mariana: Professor? Professor: Yes Mariana? Mariana: How can I teach gender to my friend Austin? Professor: He doesn't speak Portuguese? Mariana: Yes and no. It's because he's from the United States and he can talk and understand pretty well but there are a lot of errors. Mostly with masculine and feminine. I've already tried explaining these things to him but keeps doing it. Professor: What types of errors does he make? Give me some examples. Mariana: Well, for example yesterday his computer had a problem and he said, "a sistema operadora do computador." After that I helped him a bit and we fixed his computer and he said, "Obrigado, você é tão bondoso." Professor: Hmmm... Mariana: And every so often he calls me "ele." Professor: Woah, that's kind of tough. Well, sometimes it helps to explain that masculine and feminine are not directly tied to reality. In other words, that gender is a grammatical element. Not a perspective of reality. Mariana: How so? Professor: Sometimes foreigners think that certain things like "mesa" are actually feminine. In other words, that in a Brazilian's mind, a "mesa" has a sex and not just gender. Sometimes showing that it's just a grammatical function helps. Mariana: Thank you. I'll think about it a bit more. --------------------------- Learn Portuguese with PortuguesePod101!

Por favor, não fala pra ninguém porque vai manchar a minha reputação com as mulheres, sabe? Lisa: Ha ha ha! Você é muito engraçado. Leonardo: Ha! Sou engraçado? Lisa: Óbvio que sim. O que é bom, porque eu não sou engraçada. Leonardo: É esse o seu grande segredo, então? Porque esse tempo todo estou tentando descobrir o que tem de errado contigo... Lisa: Oh...tem muita coisa, pode acreditar. Leonardo: E eu estava pensando, ou ela é canibal ou ela não é tão engraçada. E na verdade, estava esperando canibal porque nunca conheci um canibal. Lisa: Ha! Não, não sou uma canibal. Mas eu saí recentemente de um longo relacionamento. Leonardo: Então foi por isso que você se mudou pra cá? Lisa: Sim, depois de perceber que todos os meus amigos eram amigos dele e tudo sobre Brasília me lembrava ele, eu decidi que precisava de algo diferente. Leonardo: Umm...agora faz sentido. Lisa: E que tal você? Quais segredos você tem no seu armário? Alguma mulher? Leonardo: Sim...uh...tive uma namorada.

Which is good because I'm not funny. Leonardo: Is that your great secret then? Because this whole time I was trying to figure out what's wrong with you... Lisa: Oh...there's plenty, trust me. Leonardo: And I was thinking, either she is a cannibal or she's not that funny and I was kind of leaning toward cannibal because I've never met one. Lisa: Ha! No, I'm not a cannibal. But I did just get out of a long-term relationship. Leonardo: So that's why you moved here? Lisa: Yes, after I noticed that all of my friends were his friends and everything about Brasília reminded me about him, I decided I needed something different. Leonardo: Umm...now it all makes sense. Lisa: And what about you? What skeletons do you have in your closet? Any women? Leonardo: Yes, uh...I had a girlfriend. When I was in college this girl and I...well that's all water under the bridge and it will be years before she's out of prison. Lisa: You are very funny. I like you Leo. Leonardo: And I like you...
