    In this case, there is a direct translation to english: 'exigir' means to demand while 'precisar' means to need. Eu exijo sua presença: I demand your presence Eu preciso da sua presença: I need your presence As simples as it is. As for '+ de': With the verb 'precisar' you must always use 'de' except when you have a verb after: ex: Eu preciso de comida = I need food Eu preciso comer = I need to eat comer is a verb, therefore you should not use 'de' while comida is not a verb, so you use 'de'.

    we kept having to shoot - Hemos tenido que seguir filmando Lo peor de todo era que nosotros hemos tenido que seguir filmando una escena repetidas veces We kept doing something = We continued doing something - that's the meaning So, we kept shooting a scene = We continued to shoot a scene we kept having to shoot a scene = We continued to have to shoot a scene we kept having to shoot a scene again and again = We continued to have to shoot a scene repeatedly

    Thank you Mileena,

     

    I find ли very hard to use (to produce text with), although it's easy to understand when it's written in a sentence. I suppose things are always like that.

     

    This is a very good article, I must say.

    Oi meu nome é Austin

    Olá, meu nome é Austin. Eu tenho 21 anos. Meu aniversário é em 27 de Agosto.


    **se alguém precisar de alguma ajuda com Inglês, eu posso fazer o meu melhor para ajudá-lo. Basta enviar uma mensagem. (eu usei google tradutor para esta mensagem em Português)

     

     

    Few notes to help improve:

     

    meu nome é Austin.  Although it's correct to say that way, we normaly use "me chamo Austin"  (I'm called Austin - or literally I call myself Austin).

     

    Eu sou 21 anos - It's like in French: We are not 21 years old, we have 21 years "of age", so we use "Eu tenho 21 anos" which is short for Eu tenho 21 anos de idade (I have 21 years of age)

     

    Date in portuguese is expressed with the day first, followed by the month and by the year.

    using 'de' to connect all parts. It's like saying: 21 of august of 1994: 21 de agosto de 1994.

     

    eu posso fazer o meu melhor para ajudá-lo = this I guess is a translation of the english expression I can do my best to help. We have another way of saying it: farei o possível para ajudar. (I'll do what is possible to help). But again, there's nothing incorrect in this sentence. It's just not so natural, but any portuguese speaker would understand :)

     

    Apenas a mensagem mim = this I guess means Just message me. The translator didn't translate it very well. The best way of saying this is with "basta" (it's enough): Basta enviar uma mensagem (It's enough to send a message)

    I think you have to read the combination "Parmi les pays" + "figurer" together, meaning that you have some countries (les pays) and among those countries (parmi les pays) we find Netherlands (figurent les Pays-Bas) So in this sense it would be "Among unruly countries we find Netherlands" or "Netherlands is among the unruly countries" In portuguese we have the same construction, so I guess it works like that. Just for the sake of curiosity, here is the portuguese version of this first part, with translation to french. Entre os países indisciplinados figuram os Países Baixos Entre = Parmi Os países = les pays indisciplinados = indisciplinés figuram = figurent os Países Baixos = les Pays-Bas
