Questions & Answers about Eu preciso conversar com o professor para entender o preço do curso.
How do you pronounce preciso in Brazilian Portuguese?
You can break it down like this: pre-ci-so. The r in pre is pronounced more lightly than in English (a single tap of the tongue), and the stress falls on the ci: pre-SI-so (IPA: [pɾeˈsi.zu]).
Why do we use com before o professor?
In Portuguese, conversar (to talk) is typically followed by com (with) when indicating the person you’re talking to. So you say conversar com alguém (“to talk with someone”).
Can I use tenho que instead of preciso?
Yes, you can say Eu tenho que conversar com o professor.... Both forms mean I need or I have to, though preciso can sound slightly more formal or direct in some contexts.
Why do we say para entender instead of por entender?
Para indicates the purpose or goal: you’re talking with the professor in order to understand the course price. Por entender would convey a different meaning—something like because you understand or by understanding, which isn’t the intended sense here.
When should I use professor vs. professora?
Professor is masculine and professora is the feminine form. Use professor when referring to a male instructor and professora when referring to a female instructor.
