Questions & Answers about Este filme é muito esquisito.
Why does esquisito mean "weird"? Doesn't it mean "exquisite"?
This is a classic false friend. While it looks like the English word "exquisite", in Portuguese esquisito actually means "weird", "strange", or "odd". If you want to say a meal or piece of art is exquisite, you would use words like excelente or requintado.
Why do we use é (from the verb ser) instead of está (from estar) here?
We use ser for permanent or defining characteristics. Even though you are just watching the film right now, the film's actual content doesn't change from day to day. Being weird is a built-in quality of this specific film, so we use é.
When should I use este filme instead of esse filme?
I know muito can sometimes change to muita or muitos. Why is it just muito here?
