| To speak is falar; dizer is to say. To listen is escutar; ouvir is to hear. The last two are sometimes interchangeable, but the first two aren't (You say "Falo português" and not "digo português", exactly like you don't say "I say English"). Saber is to know facts; to know someone is conhecer (exactly like in Spanish saber/conocer; in fact, by entering Spanish instead of Portuguese verbs one gets automatically 12 correct answers). |
