Is it really true that "tu" is "seldom used" in Brazil? In this video, I clear up doubts you may have about how "tu" is used in Brazilian Portuguese, and more importantly what it means for you as a Portuguese learner.
If you're learning Portuguese using resources specifically designed to teach Brazilian Portuguese, you might not even know that "tu" exists...BUT, it is something that is very widely used in Brazil--it's just not typically used the way you see it taught in traditional grammar textbooks.

Will you learn the standard TU conjugations?

@indiraconnolly2889 Год назад

Probably in the future when I spend some time in Portugal. I'm currently learning Brazilian Portuguese, but I'm starting to familiarise myself more with the European variety. I do also want to spend some time in Portugal in the future and am already curious to know what my accent is going to sound like then.

@@indiraconnolly2889 that's a great idea. I think it's a good idea to keep things as simple as possible and then gradually learn the differences. Portuguese people are generally so used to hearing Brazilian Portuguese that any vocabulary or pronunciation differences shouldn't be an issue.

@@DecodingWordswithAndrew Yes, I definitely get the impression that the Portuguese are very familiar with the Brazilian variety, but the opposite is not true! I am at a place with Brazilian Portuguese where I can start exploring other accents, so am familiarizing myself with African varieties (Mozambican, Angolan) and have listened to a few videos in Timorense Portuguese. It's so fascinating. I love accents.

@@indiraconnolly2889 an amazing channel for Mozambican Portuguese is Pátria Minha-he’s a young vlogger who shows you everyday life in Mozambique…super interesting!

One great thing about your lessons is I can delve into any one of them at random and learn something significant that helps me.

Awesome videos, Andrew!. Looking forward to your video comparing "nós" and "a gente" in Brazil.

@DecodingWordswithAndrew 3 месяца назад

Appreciate it! Was there something in particular about "nós" and "a gente" that you don't understand? It's pretty straightforward, "nós" is the standard form which you see more in the written language & "a gente" is the colloquial form and more common in everyday speech. "Nós" has its own set of conjugations, while "a gente" uses the 3rd person singular.

I’m here trying to learn the Brazilian Portuguese but the real street Portuguese that every Brazilian speaks in podcast like ufc Brazilian fighters and I really support you and hopefully learn from you a lot

@DecodingWordswithAndrew Год назад

Great to have you here! Yes, the real street Portuguese that you hear UFC fighters is very different from what you learn from textbooks and apps! Thank you for your support and I will continue strive to make my channel better and better for you.

In the past, some Brazilian friends (all Cariocas and not linguists) have given me confusing and inconsistant guidance on this subject. Your video is clear and makes sense. For a foreigner, there is an attraction to just using você (and a gente) for simplicity - not just for conjugations but, if you speak a language which no longer uses formal and informal pronouns, not worrying about which to use.
