Questions & Answers about Eu venho de Lisboa.
This lesson is about the verb ir (to go), so why is the verb venho used here?
Why is it de Lisboa and not da Lisboa?
The word de means "from". In Portuguese, most countries and regions require "the" (which combines with de to make do or da). However, most cities, including Lisboa, do not use "the". Therefore, the preposition stays as simply de.
Is the word Eu mandatory here?
How do I pronounce the nh in venho?
The nh letter combination in Portuguese sounds very much like the "ni" in the English word "onion" or the "ny" in "canyon".
