Cultural Differences

Expressing Surprise with "Estranhar"

Use estranhar to express that something feels unusual:

  • Estranhei o horário dos almoços. (I found the lunch schedule strange.)
  • Estranha-se a comida no início. (You find the food strange at first.)

Comparing Cultures with Comparatives

  • Em Portugal come-se mais tarde do que na Alemanha. (In Portugal people eat later than in Germany.)
  • Os portugueses são tão simpáticos como os italianos. (The Portuguese are as friendly as the Italians.)

Impersonal "Se" for Cultural Norms

The impersonal se describes what people generally do:

  • Em Portugal cumprimentam-se com dois beijos. (In Portugal, people greet with two kisses.)
  • Come-se muito bacalhau. (A lot of cod is eaten.)
  • Fala-se alto nos restaurantes. (People speak loudly in restaurants.)

"Costumar" + Infinitive for Habits

  • Os portugueses costumam jantar tarde. (The Portuguese usually have dinner late.)
  • Costuma-se beber café depois da refeição. (It's customary to drink coffee after the meal.)

Tip: In Portugal, it is common to greet friends and family with two kisses on the cheek (right cheek first).

Typowe błędy

  • As pessoas come tarde
    As pessoas comem tarde

    Third person plural of 'comer' is 'comem' not 'come'

  • Eu estranho da comida
    Eu estranho a comida

    'Estranhar' is a direct transitive verb — no preposition needed. Use 'estranho a comida', not 'estranho da comida'.

  • Come-se bacalhau muito
    Come-se muito bacalhau

    The adverb 'muito' comes before the noun, not after

  • É mais diferente do que
    É diferente de

    'Diferente' is not used with 'mais'; use 'diferente de' for comparisons

  • Eu acostumei com isso
    Eu habituei-me a isso

    In PT-PT use 'habituar-se a' not 'acostumar com'
