How to say “ask” in Portuguese – “perguntar” OR “pedir” [in portuguese – PT & EN Subs]

A very common mistake people learning Portuguese make is to swap the verbs “perguntar” and “pedir” because in English they tend to translate to simply “ask”.

In this video, I will clear that up for you once and for all, so you can sound more like a native.

  1. Obrigado senhora professora! Para mim é melhor quando fala mais rápido – como neste vídeo. Tudo muito útil!

  2. Olá professora, a sua aula foi como eu pessoalmente pedisse de você uma explicação entre o verbo perguntar e pedir.

  3. Probably the cleanest European Portuguese spoken on YuTube AFAIK 🙂 … devoid of any local (Porto, Lisboa, Algarve … name it!) “syllable eating” or other “shortcuts”. Very helpful and understandable, thanks!
