Trusting and Dreaming
confiar (to trust) and sonhar (to dream) pick their prepositions and keep them: confiar EM (Confio na minha irmã), sonhar COM (Sonho com o verão). The em contracts as always: confia nela.
Feeling Like It
apetecer works like doer: the thing is the subject and you are the clitic — Apetece-me um café (I feel like a coffee).
| I feel like a coffee. | Apetece-me um café. |
Loving and Hating
amar (to love) and odiar (to hate) frame the scale; gostar de sits in the middle. Odeio segundas-feiras!
Changing State
tornar-se is to become: Ele tornou-se médico. parar de + infinitive is to stop doing: Para de falar! — the negative twin of deixar de, which you just met. ser capaz de is to be able/capable: És capaz de fazer isso sozinho? And ir embora is to leave, to go away: Tenho de ir embora agora.
