<\/p>\n
\nVoc\u00ea gosta de comida japonesa? <\/b>First, we\u2019ll look at the question. You need to establish what the person is interested in, and you can do this with a straight forward \u201cDo you like\u2026?\u201d In this case, you ask, \u201cDo you like Japanese food?<\/p>\n
\nConhe\u00e7o um lugar muito bom. <\/b>Next, you explain your knowledge of the topic by saying \u201cI know a very good place.\u201d Note that we use the verb “conhecer” when referring to a person or a place that we know.<\/p>\n
\nDeveria ir ao restaurante Yakimoto. <\/b>This means \u201cYou should go to Yakimoto restaurant.\u201d You can make a suggestion using \u201cdever\u201d which means \u201cshould.\u201d Since we\u2019re making a suggestion, and not a demand, we put it in the conditional tense: \u201cDeveria ir,\u201d you should go.<\/p>\n
\nSe voc\u00ea gosta de comida francesa, v\u00e1 ao Agraz. <\/b>Another way of asking what the person wants without putting it in the question form is by using an \u201cif\u201d sentence. This part means, \u201cIf you like French food, go to Agraz.\u201d Note that we put \u201cgo\u201d in the subjunctive tense, \u201cv\u00e1,\u201d since it is a request.<\/p>\n
\nEles t\u00eam um card\u00e1pio muito variado. <\/b>This means \u201cThey have a very diverse menu.\u201d Note that \u201ccard\u00e1pio\u201d is the word for menu.<\/p>\n
\nPara comida brasileira, eu recomendo o restaurante A\u00e7ucar. <\/b>We can use the verb \u201crecomendar\u201d to make a suggestion, since as it implies, it means \u201cto recommend.\u201d So this part means, \u201cFor Brazilian food, I recommend Acucar restaurant.\u201d As you\u2019ve seen when we mention a specific restaurant, we need to put the article, \u201co\u201d since \u201crestaurant\u201d is a masculine noun. We need to put the word \u201crestaurant\u201d before the name of the restaurant. This structure is the opposite of the English structure.<\/p>\n
\nMas se eu fosse voc\u00ea, eu iria ao Vila Azul. \u00c9 meu restaurante favorito. <\/b>Finally, we can use an \u201cif, then\u201d conditional sentence to make a recommendation. Here, we say \u201cBut if I were you, I would go to Vila Azul. It\u2019s my favorite restaurant.\u201d In this kind of clause, we put the word \u201cif\u201d with the verb “to be” in the imperfect subjunctive tense (fosse). This part means, \u201cIf I were you.\u201d The second part of the clause uses the conditional: \u201cI would go,\u201d eu iria.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
