    Hi Jorim, not sure I fully get the question/example you gave, but as highlighted in the article the shh sound can be heard whenever a word has s at the end or when the s is before a consonant other than s itself". This general rule still applies to the example you gave, so in "pratos salgados" we'd still pronounce the "shh" sound at the end of the word 'salgados' and at the end of 'pratos' but not at the beginning of either.

    As for the number "sete", if we're once again to use written pronunciation as guidance, the shh is not pronounced as there is no 's' at the end or 's' before a consonant other than itself.

    For audio support with European Portuguese pronunciation feel free to book a lesson or check out these online tutorials: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vG4VxDpulrI&feature=youtu.be

    Thanks Natan, glad you like the article, and it was interesting to read your national examples too.

    Sofia thanks for the phonetics. I prefer to use written pronunciation as this is easier for majority of students that are not familiar with the latter.


    Regards to both.

    'Shh': Put In The Time To Listen & Learn This Sound In Portuguese
    "Shh" is a sound you'll hear a lot of if you study European Portuguese. This article has plenty of advice to help you recognize it in written Portuguese, as well as some fun tongue twisters to help you practice.

    I'm back!!! Hello! It has been quite some time since I last taught here on italki (sorry for my long absence)... In the past few months my schedule has been absolutely manic, but I am glad to finally make a return and I am looking forward to reconnecting with some of my old students and hopefully some new ones two. For those who know me already, I'm sure they would agree that there's never a dull moment in my teaching sessions :) speak to you soon! All the best, Tatiana

    "After you have been created" is referring to you, so it means after you were made, however this is not commonly used to refer to a human unless you are reading something about robots :) "After you have created" is referring to an action you are doing, so it means that after you have completed making something (whatever the creation is). Hopefully this clarifies it :)

    LOL this is an unusual question but it's all part of learning English I guess. A hard-on is another way of saying erected penis. So in other words an erected penis doesn't count as personal growth.

    It's basically saying that the person did it with malicious intent.
