From Lesson 62:Near future (ir)·Portuguese (Portugal)

Questions & Answers about Vamos organizar o evento neste jardim.

How does vamos organizar translate to "we are going to organize"?
This is the near future tense. It uses the verb ir (to go) conjugated for "we" (vamos) followed directly by the unconjugated action verb, organizar (to organize).
Why isn't there a word for "to" between vamos and organizar?
In English, we say "going to do something," but Portuguese keeps it simpler here. The conjugated verb ir connects directly to the second verb with no extra words in between.
Where does the word neste come from?
Neste means "in this". It is a mandatory contraction (blending) of the preposition em (in/on/at) and the demonstrative word este (this). Whenever em and este are next to each other, they always merge into neste.
How do I know whether to use neste or nesta?
It depends on the gender of the noun that follows it. Because jardim (garden) is a masculine noun, we use the masculine form neste. If we were talking about a feminine word like a house (casa), we would say nesta casa.
Do I need to put Nós (we) at the start of the sentence?
No, it is completely optional! The verb form vamos can only mean "we go" (or "we are going"), so the subject is already obvious. Native speakers usually leave nós out unless they want to add special emphasis.
