Notice that Portuguese has informal and formal ways of saying things.
This is because there is more than one meaning to “you” in Portuguese (as well as
in many other languages.) The informal you is used when talking to close
friends, relatives, animals or children. The formal you is used when talking to
someone who is older than you or someone for whom you would like to
show respect (a professor, for example.) There are also two ways to say you in
the plural, used when speaking to more than one person.
All the adjectives in Portuguese have masculine and feminine forms, as we’ll see later.

jimara1989 said
For years, I struggled learning the Portuguese language mainly due to my busy schedule and tight budget. My goal is to speak and comprehend Portuguese like a native, and to find the best Portuguese teacher on Skype. I am really pleased that a website like http://preply.com/en/portuguese-by-skype exists to help them find Portuguese teachers online. I get to learn 1 to 1 Portuguese lessons and converse with a very good teacher. I don’t have to be physically present to go to a class. All I need is internet access and get online through Skype (free!). I want you to experience this. Check it out and see for your self 🙂

Venkata Siva Naidu said
hellow i want to know the meaning of portuguese word sai fora ou can you please help me any one
El Predicador said
Notice that “sai fora” is a typical pleonasm so consider the context when to use this phrase.
simoziko said
Sai ( verbo sair) leave. Ele sai para o trabalho cedo. He leaves for work early.
Estou fora de casa= I’m far away of my house.
Boa sorte
Diegão Ap said
“Sai fora” These two words together, are like the phrasal verbs you have in english. The meaning could be:
go away!
get out here!
get out!
