My favorite fighter and I'm trying to learn portuguese! Recently found your channel and its been extremely helpful keep making more videos like this please loving the ufc references
Good stuff. These coloquial phrases are super helpful. I love mma and to hear them talk about their fights in a casual setting is also pretty cool. Question, I get confused on whether to use colocar or botar. I’m guessing it depends on what you are putting but is there a rule to go by with this?
Great video! I have a question about the pronunciation of "entender", I would think that we would hear the "ch" or "dj" sound but it sounds like a hard "d" and a hard "t"... are there places where "de" is not pronounced like "dj" ? same question for "te" Clip at 4:15
I have a question regarding the formulation at 0:52 'Mas eu lutar MMA', which I understand was translated as 'But me fighting MMA': If I understand correctly, in English we would use the gerund 'fighting' whereas in Portuguese we would use the infinitive of the verb lutar? Or is it the infinitivo pessoal? Thank you very much for the lesson!
I think a quick rule of thumb that might help is to think of it like this: if the focus is more on a particular subject performing an action, use the personal infinitive (i.e. "eu lutar MMA"--focus is on him fighting MMA vs fighting MMA in general). If it's more on the general action itself, use the impersonal infinitive.
