Who knew that there was a specific verb for that kind of stretch? <b>Espregui\u00e7ar<\/b> is related to <b>pregui\u00e7a<\/b>, meaning laziness, so the verb literally means something like <b>to de-lazy<\/b> yourself. Wonderful!<\/p>\n<p>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 <b>todos os dias<\/b> (<em>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<p>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":"<p>This Portuguese Blog podcast post teaches you some good phrases for describing your morning ritual.
