Congratulating Someone in English

In this episode, I am talking about some of the most popular wellness and beauty treatments that people are talking about online right now. Of course, it's hard to ignore the hype around these trends because we all want to look our best! This podcast contains a lot of specific vocabulary on this topic, but you can check it out the online document here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1n_jlk2QQkH15hY2mGLS3Tvn377g55S2GxooEbiAq0no/edit?usp=sharing

WEIRD BEAUTY TRENDS (C1)

Physiologists Alanda Lennox and Allen Goodship found an explanation for this paradox in 2008. They discovered that pregnant bears were able to increase the density of their bones before they started to build their dens. In addition, six months later, when they finally emerged from the den with their cubs, there was no evidence of significant loss of bone density. Hibernating brown bears do not have this capacity and must therefore resort to major bone reformation in the following spring. If the mechanism of bone remodelling in polar bears can be understood, many bedridden humans, and even astronauts, could potentially benefit.

The medical benefits of the polar bear for humanity certainly have their importance in our conservation efforts, but these should not be the only factors taken into consideration. We tend to want to protect animals we think are intelligent and possess emotions, such as elephants and primates. Bears, on the other hand, seem to be perceived as stupid and in many cases violent. And yet anecdotal evidence from the field challenges those assumptions, suggesting for example that polar bears have good problem-solving abilities. A male bear called GoGo in Tennoji Zoo, Osaka, has even been observed making use of a tool to manipulate his environment. The bear used a tree branch on multiple occasions to dislodge a piece of meat hung out of his reach. Problem-solving ability has also been witnessed in wild polar bears, although not as obviously as with GoGo. A calculated move by a male bear involved running and jumping onto barrels in an attempt to get to a photographer standing on a platform four metres high.

I'll add the remaining pieces of the reading material in the box below.

In this episode, we’ll dive into the subtle differences between the two commonly used words "适合" (shì hé) and "合适" (hé shì). Join me as we explore how to use these two words more accurately in everyday conversation. Tune in and improve your Chinese skills:

Which One is Suitable? 适合 or 合适？ 

Você sabe como pluralizar as palavras compostas? Bom, neste episódio demonstraremos as regras a fim de que você possa entendê-las e utilizá-las.

No português, palavras compostas podem vir de diferentes classes gramáticas, ou seja, na palavra composta podemos encontrar um substantivo e um adjetivo, dois substantivos, um verbo e um adjetivo, um verbo e um substantivo, como também preposições entre as palavras. E cada forma, possui uma regrinha diferente, vamos observá-las? 

Primeiramente, verifiquemos as palavras consideradas variáveis e invariáveis, as variáveis são aquelas que mudam de acordo com o gênero, número e grau, como: Substantivo, Artigo, Adjetivo, Numeral, Pronome e Verbo. As invariáveis não mudam, como: Advérbio, Preposição, Conjunção e Interjeição.

Basicamente, quando se pluraliza as duas palavras: substantivo + substantivo (país-membro/países-membros), numeral + substantivo (segunda-feira/segundas-ferias) e adjetivo + substantivo (gentil-homem/gentis-homens), substantivo + adjetivo (onça-pintada/onças-pintadas) pois todas são variáveis.

Palavras compostas ligados por preposição, apenas a primeira se pluraliza, a segunda é se torna invariável: Pé de moleque - Pés de moleque (um doce feito de amendoim) 
Cara de pau - Caras de pau (que é uma expressão para identificar uma pessoa sem nenhuma vergonha). O pão de queijo - pães de queijo e O por do sol - pores do sol. Acesse para continuar com a transcrição: https://obrasileirissimo.wordpress.com/2023/12/04/os-plurais-das-palavras-compostas/
