Questions & Answers about Tu lembras-te da nossa professora, não é?
Why do we use não é at the end instead of translating "don't you"?
In Portuguese, we don't translate English tag questions like "don't you?", "aren't we?", or "hasn't she?" word-for-word. Instead, for a positive statement like Tu lembras-te... (You remember...), we simply add não é? at the end. It literally means "isn't it?", but it is the standard way to ask for confirmation after a positive sentence.
Could I use pois não? here instead of não é??
Why is it da nossa professora and not just a nossa professora?
Why is there a -te attached to the verb in lembras-te?
