Actually<\/em> is a false cognate that is often confused by both Portuguese speakers when using English and by English speakers when using Portuguese. <\/p>\n

So, actually, the word “actually” in Portuguese would be em realidade <\/strong>or na verdade<\/strong>. For example:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Vamos ao cinema. Voc\u00ea quer ver esse filme de a\u00e7\u00e3o, n\u00e9? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Na verdade, quero ver esse filme de romance.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let’s go to the movies. You want to see that action movie, don’t you?<\/p>\n

Atualmente ele \u00e9 o gerente da loja.<\/strong> He’s currently the store manager.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
