- (Falante do Rio aqui) Para mim, "bastante" não é formal ou informal, parece mais uma palavra comum. Não uso muito porque costumo falar as palavras "muito" ou "várias vezes". Só uso "várias vezes" se couber no contexto. Exemplo: " - Já foi em São Paulo?" "- Sim, fui várias vezes" Se fosse usar "muitas" seria: "Sim, fui muitas vezes". Já a palavra "bastante" me soa estranha, mas dá pra entender: "Sim, fui bastante". Duas variações formais dessas duas palavras poderiam ser "considerável" ou "substancial", como nas frases: Informal "A empresa teve muito prejuízo" Formal "A empresa teve um prejuízo considerável" "A empresa teve um prejuízo substancial" No caso dessa versão formal, só consigo pensar nela sendo usada em situações empresariais, palestras, comunicados oficiais, entre outros parecidos.0 votedAugust 7, 20230
- It could also be: "Fala para ela me ligar." "Fala para o Ítalo ligar para o Tom." Maybe it's just my Rio accent, but using "Fala" sounds more natural to me, but you can use the verb "Diga" with no worries. It has the same purpose. It's good to mention that in the speaking part, some people cut the pronunciation of "para" to "pra."0 votedAugust 7, 20230
- Nothing to correct, but for the sake of learning here are some other ways to say the same thing: * Em termos de área, a China é o segundo maior país do mundo. * O tamanho da China a torna o segundo maior país do mundo. * Sendo o segundo maior país, a China é muito grande. * A China ocupa a segunda posição entre os maiores países do mundo e tem um território extenso. By far your phrase is the easiest to understand.0 votedAugust 5, 20232
- As mentioned, both are correct, but "Onde tem um supermercado?" sounds more common to me for the spoken part, at least here in Rio de Janeiro. Maybe there is a city/state with a different accent that uses the word "há" more. Anyway, someone listening to both questions would answer the same thing.0 votedAugust 5, 20230
Contribuing to the opinions wrote here, I think it takes a while to find the partner because usually needs some elements like:
* Free time at similar times for both;
* Subjects which both like it;
* A good first contact.
* A true will to learn the language.For me in practice it is not just about language exchange, it is about holding a conversation too, and learning in the process. If both can not do this, I do not see how it is going to work.

The main reason is simple, if i change the past, i have no idea of the consequences that will come, adding the fact that i would need to handle my memories of going in the time back and forth.
Another reason is: I can go to the past, but i'm not a god. In some situations people pass away so fast that nothing can be done at the moment, and this can happen with anyone including myself. I have a great chance to change this if i can see the future.
p.s: I hope you don't get me wrong, the two powers are pretty good! And we have good reasons to chose both.

What i said have relation with this topic in this point: If i'm a scientist who resarches a "ugly" animal, wich live in the same area of, for example, a panda, i would start to support the preservation of the panda, because in order to preserve it, i need to do the same with the ecosystem.
What i think about it? People are convinced and engaged by emotion, and rational reasons don't stick for so long. We need the population supporting the preservation causes.
I can't agree or disagree with something that just happens, but use this situation for good, this is usefull.
It's possible to change ideas and way to see the situations, of course, but this takes more time to work.

If someone gives a tip for me, i think about two things:
1) This person really wants to give a honest opinion?
2) Why he/she have this idea?
About the second thought, for me it's good to figure out the whole picture in order to know why this older person have this opinion. By that way, i going to know how they have came to those conclusions and understand their way of think.
0 votedJuly 25, 20180Well, we're dealing with humans, right? We tend to judge things with questionable reasons.
Besides that, having a cute-like animal was a focus of preservation is not a problem, actually this helps to protect all the other animals who lives in the same ecosystem, is a strategy for convince the people to support the cause. This can happen when a certain animal is a symbol of a certain area too, usually happening when is exclusively from it.
