Palabras que no tiene traducción en ingles

Você está familiarizado com as regras do plural? Este episódio tem por objetivo fazer com que você se sinta mais preparado ao utilizar as regrinhas dessa parte da gramática que é fundamental para a desenvoltura de sua fluência. 

O português assim como outras línguas românicas tem o plural como um papel importante na fala e escrita. A maior parte das classes de palavras são pluralizadas, como verbo, pronome, substantivo, adjetivo, numeral e artigo. 

Um dos aspectos interessantes do plural é que em alguns casos, a palavra poderá mudar em sua pronúncia ao pluralizá-la. Exemplo: ao pronunciar a palavra ovo no singular, o som da primeira vogal é fechado, porém ao pluralizá-las teremos o som aberto, ovos. Podemos utilizar essa regra com várias palavras terminadas em O, como: corpo/corpos, esforço/esforços, fogo/fogos, olho/olhos, osso/ossos, posto/postos, gostoso/gostosos (nesse caso, percebe-se que é na segunda sílaba que muda a pronuncia de aberta pra fechada) e tijolo/tijolos.

009 How to Improve Your Guitar Skills

Take an English Lesson with Carl https://italki.com/teacher/1947582

A Fox one day spied a beautiful bunch of ripe grapes hanging from a vine trained along the branches of a tree. The grapes seemed ready to burst with juice, and the Fox's mouth watered as he gazed longingly at them.

The bunch hung from a high branch, and the Fox had to jump for it. The first time he jumped he missed it by a long way. So he walked off a short distance and took a running leap at it, only to fall short once more. Again and again he tried, but in vain.

Now he sat down and looked at the grapes in disgust.

"What a fool I am," he said. "Here I am wearing myself out to get a bunch of sour grapes that are not worth gaping for."

And off he walked very, very scornfully.

There are many who pretend to despise and belittle that which is beyond their reach.
