Obrigado!! As far as breaking down the meaning of the national anthem, you can use an AI tool like ChatGPT and tell it "break down the meaning of the Brazilian national anthem line by line".

I’ll probably won’t do any funk songs on my channel, but if you wanna learn more of the street Portuguese, how younger people talk, check out my Learn Portuguese with Brazilian UFC fighters playlist…also my Brazilian Portuguese slang and expressions playlist

@@DecodingWordswithAndrew I’ve already cleared through the UFC fighter and futbol player vids but I’ll check out the slang vids. Thanks!

Hey Tom! In the parts of the song where she uses "você", it wouldn't be possible to replace it with "te" because it functions as a subject pronoun (i.e, "Onde você anda, onde está você?"). The "te" is used in the song as an object pronoun (i.e., "Não te encontrar"/"de um dia te ter ao meu lado"). In colloquial Brazilian Portuguese, "você" is often also used as an object pronoun, so you'll hear people say "Eu vi você" as well as "Eu te vi", and "Eu amo você" as well as "Eu te amo". Hope this helps!

@@DecodingWordswithAndrew Hey, Andrew. Thanks for your reply. I was more thinking about the first line, "Não é fácil não pensar em você". In this sentence "você" appears to function as an object pronoun. At least that's how it works in English, "it's not easy not thinking about you" with "it" being the subject (or dummy subject) and "you" being the object. Also in Spanish, "No es fácil no pensar en ti" uses "ti" which is an object pronoun. Why doesn't she say "não te pensar"?

Actually, after a preposition like "em", it would be possible use "ti" just like in Spanish (pronounced just like "te" but with a different spelling). It's much more common in Brazilian Portuguese to say "em você" though..."em ti" is used more in European Portuguese.

Here is a video specifically dealing with Spanish vs Portuguese pronunciation differences: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2u1Dt29c5mo.html I would also work through my pronunciation series: ru-vid.com/group/PLS2n39P9SS59rmSJTQ3WiMtoCI95_1k7c

@@DecodingWordswithAndrew thank you sir. Big Portuguese population where I live and I always feel like I'm so close to being able to communicate. They can understand me more than I can understand them.

I also go into a lot of detail regarding the pronunciation in my Portuguese for beginners series...have 4 videos so far, here is the first one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b0gHn6q0OgI.html
