Ol\u00e1 pessoal! Portuguese has many unique phrases and here are some phrases for dating:<\/p>\n
Namorar\u00a0<\/strong>This is “to date.” Namorado\/a<\/em> is boyfriend\/girlfriend. This is pretty clear in Portuguese. Noivo\/a<\/em> would be fianc\u00e9\/fianc\u00e9e. Marido\/esposa<\/em> is husband\/wife.<\/p>\n Apaixonar\u00a0<\/strong>This is the step between gostar<\/em> (to like) and amar<\/em> (to love). It basically is the act of falling in love with someone and the stage in a relationship where you really adore your significant other. You say estou apaixonado\/a<\/em>.<\/p>\n Amar\u00a0<\/strong>This verb is “to love” and is stronger than gostar<\/em> or apaixonar<\/em>. You say eu te amo<\/em> or eu amo voc\u00ea<\/em>.<\/p>\n Beijar\u00a0<\/strong>This is “to kiss.” Beijo<\/em> is a kiss. Many Brazilians use beijo when they end a conversation or a message. For example: Muito obrigada pela ajuda. Vou te ver amanh\u00e3. Beijos.\u00a0<\/em>(Thanks for the help. I’ll see you tomorrow. Kisses.)<\/p>\n Abra\u00e7ar\u00a0<\/strong>This is the act of hugging. A hug is um abra\u00e7o<\/em>.
