The Conditional Tense from Sao Vicente da Fora in Lisbon
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tVCOyLgdOc
the conditional tense is kind of like the polite tense. It is how you would say, I would like, or I would suggest you do something. It is just a nice way of speaking. You use it to express desires, suggestions or to ask polite questions. It is simple to do as you just add an ending on to the infinitive of the verb. It is the same regardless if it is an, -ar, -er, -ir verb ending
here is an example with falar, eu falaria, tu falarias, ele/ela/voce falaria, nos falariamos, eles/elas/voces falariam.

Interesting video. I’ve always wanted to learn Portuguese and even considered taking a class last year.
Please can you tell me why when I’m watching US/UK tv shows, the Portuguese subtitles always translate i would like as the ava form of the verb!!?? For example, I would like to dance = gostava dancar, I would love to = adorava. It happens time and time again, I am confused as this is a past tense. Is it a Portuguese idiom? Thanks Liz
look in our imperct past tense verb video. that should help you out. the “ava” ending is for imperfect past which means it is something you did in the past for a period of time. For example, I swam as a kid. Eu nadava quando era crianca.
I was learning Portuguese when I was in college. I liked this language, actually, but I faced difficulty to memorize the vocabulary. Could somebody here tell me how to improve Portuguese vocabulary? I want to learn it again.
