Who knew that there was a specific verb for that kind of stretch? Espregui\u00e7ar<\/b> is related to pregui\u00e7a<\/b>, meaning laziness, so the verb literally means something like to de-lazy<\/b> yourself. Wonderful!<\/p>\n Note in the podcast audio that Adir uses the present tense to indicate habitual action. Just like in English you can use the present in the context of todos os dias<\/b> (everyday<\/em>), and it will indicate that your actions were done in the past, are currently done, and that you expect them to continue in the future.<\/p>\n Thanks everybody for listening, and if you have any comments, extra vocabulary, doubts or anecdotes, please feel free to comment!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This Portuguese Blog podcast post teaches you some good phrases for describing your morning ritual.
