Speak in Portugal - at the café (listen & repeat) 

Right! I'm glad you were paying attention. 😊

Sim, é verdade, escapou-me. 😊

and that's not all!

Eu que o diga, eu nem gosto de café! 😅

Check Storyglot in the meantime :)

@@Portugueselab Ja już to znam. Obejrzałam już dawno. Czekam na więcej.😊

Olá, "êm" in the word "têm" sounds like the nasal ending in "bem" (b-ãi) or "vem" (v-ãi), but twice (t-ãi-ãi).

Segundo o que consegui apurar, pode vir do espanhol "abatanado" que significa "golpeado" ou "batido", mas ninguém sabe. 🤷‍♀

Segundo a tradução de DeepL, "abatanado" significa espancado ou abatido. Deve haver uma história algures. Obrigado por tentar@@Portugueselab

You can but it can sound harsher.

Again here, you are too attached to the literal translation. As you can see, it's not really helping you. :) "Têm" is commonly used when asking if "you" (indefinite group of people) have or sell something. Edit: also, the English translation is not specifying if it's referring to one or more people as"you" can be singular or plural.

@@Portugueselab You do realize that is how English speaker think and speak right? If we are talking to one person, it’s going to be a singular verb. If we are talking about many people, it’s going to be plurals. English speakers are seeing you switch from single and plurals. Both context you are referring to a café (singular). It’s confusing, I know to you it doesn’t sound or look confusing. But to English speakers, it is, seeing you switch from “tem” and “têm” when subject (the café) is singular. Foreigner will be confused as to which verb to use and in what context. In my opinion, “têm” shouldn’t be used. The café is singular therefore the verb has to also be singular. Just like you don’t say “Eles tem um galão.” It doesn’t many sense.
