=== Introduction to Physical Descriptions ===


Welcome to Unit 3 of the "Complete 0 to A1 Portuguese Course"! In this unit, we will focus on the topic of Family and Descriptions. In this particular lesson, we will learn how to describe people's appearances using adjectives and basic vocabulary words. Being able to describe someone's physical characteristics is essential for effective communication and building relationships. So let's dive in and expand our Portuguese vocabulary!
Physical descriptions encompass a variety of characteristics that help define how we perceive others. In Portuguese, just like in English, we use adjectives to describe features such as hair color, height, body shape, and more. Understanding how to use these words will enhance your conversational skills and boost your confidence in speaking.

Take your time to practice pronouncing these words correctly. It's important to get the pronunciation right to be easily understood.
=== Structure of Descriptions ===
 
When forming a physical description in Portuguese, the structure typically follows this order:
 
1. '''General descriptor''' (e.g., height, age)
 
2. '''Specific features''' (e.g., hair, eyes)
 
3. '''Additional remarks''' (e.g., style, personality traits)
 
For example, you might say, "Ela é alta e bonita, com cabelo longo e liso" (She is tall and beautiful, with long straight hair).
 
=== Examples of Physical Descriptions ===
 
Let’s dive into some examples! Below are 20 sample sentences that illustrate how to describe someone's physical appearance in Portuguese.
 
{| class="wikitable"
 
! Portuguese !! Pronunciation !! English
 
|-
 
| Ele é alto e magro. || /ˈe.le ɛj ˈaw.tu i ˈma.ɡɾu/ || He is tall and thin.
 
|-
 
| Ela é baixa e gorda. || /ˈe.lɐ ɛj ˈbaj.sɐ i ˈɡoʁ.dɐ/ || She is short and fat.
 
|-
 
| Ele tem cabelo castanho e olhos azuis. || /ˈe.le teĩ kaˈbe.lu kasˈta.ɲu i ˈo.ʎus aˈzul/ || He has brown hair and blue eyes.
 
|-


== Describing Physical Characteristics ==
| Ela tem pele clara. || /ˈe.lɐ teĩ ˈpe.le ˈkla.ɾɐ/ || She has light skin.


Now that we have learned some vocabulary words, let's see how we can use them to describe people's physical characteristics. We will use the verb "ser" (to be) to form our sentences. Here are a few examples:
|-


* Ela é alta. (She is tall.)
| Ele é bonito e jovem. || /ˈe.le ɛj boˈni.tu i ˈʒo.vẽ/ || He is handsome and young.
* Ele é baixo. (He is short.)
* A mulher é magra. (The woman is thin.)
* O homem é gordo. (The man is fat.)


As you can see, we use the verb "ser" followed by the adjectives to describe someone's physical appearance. Remember that adjectives must agree in gender and number with the noun they describe. So if you are describing a man, you would use the masculine form of the adjective, and if you are describing a woman, you would use the feminine form.
|-


Let's practice a bit more. Look at the following examples:
| Ela é feia e velha. || /ˈe.lɐ ɛj ˈfe.jɐ i ˈvɛ.ʎɐ/ || She is ugly and old.


* Ele tem cabelo preto. (He has black hair.)
|-
* Ela tem olhos azuis. (She has blue eyes.)
* Ele tem a pele clara. (He has fair skin.)
* Ela tem cabelo loiro. (She has blonde hair.)


In these examples, we are using the verb "ter" (to have) to talk about specific physical features. Again, pay attention to the agreement between the adjectives and the nouns they describe.
| Ele tem barba e bigode. || /ˈe.le teĩ ˈbaʁ.bɐ i biˈɡo.dʒi/ || He has a beard and a mustache.


== Additional Vocabulary ==
|-


To expand our vocabulary further, let's learn some additional words related to physical descriptions. These words will help us describe people's appearances in even more detail:
| Ela tem cabelo encaracolado. || /ˈe.lɐ teĩ kaˈbe.lu ĩ.ka.ɾa.kuˈla.du/ || She has curly hair.


* alto(a) e magro(a) - tall and thin
|-
* baixo(a) e gordo(a) - short and fat
* bonito(a) e jovem - beautiful/handsome and young
* feio(a) e velho(a) - ugly and old
* cabelo castanho - brown hair
* cabelo ruivo - red hair
* cabelo grisalho - gray hair
* olhos castanhos - brown eyes
* olhos verdes - green eyes
* olhos pretos - black eyes
* pele bronzeada - tanned skin
* pele morena - dark skin


Feel free to practice using these words in sentences to describe people's appearances in different scenarios.
| Ele é ruivo e alto. || /ˈe.le ɛj ˈʁuj.vu i ˈaw.tu/ || He is a redhead and tall.


== Conversation Practice ==
|-


To reinforce what we have learned so far, let's have a short conversation in Portuguese. Pay attention to the vocabulary words and sentence structure we have covered in this lesson.
| Ela é loira e bonita. || /ˈe.lɐ ɛj ˈloj.ɾɐ i boˈni.tɐ/ || She is blonde and beautiful.


Person A: Como é a Maria?
|-
Person B: A Maria é alta e bonita. Ela tem cabelo castanho e olhos verdes.
Person A: E o Pedro?
Person B: O Pedro é baixo e jovem. Ele tem cabelo preto e olhos pretos.


In this conversation, Person A is asking about Maria's and Pedro's physical descriptions, and Person B is providing the answers using the vocabulary and sentence structures we have learned.
| Ele é baixo, mas forte. || /ˈe.le ɛj ˈbaj.ʊ, maʒ ˈfoʁ.tʃi/ || He is short but strong.


== Summary ==
|-


In this lesson, we have learned how to describe people's appearances using adjectives and basic vocabulary words. We have practiced using the verbs "ser" and "ter" to form sentences and describe physical characteristics. We have also expanded our vocabulary with additional words related to physical descriptions. Remember to practice using these words in different contexts to build your fluency and confidence in Portuguese.
| Ela é alta e tem olhos verdes. || /ˈe.lɐ ɛj ˈaw.tu i teĩ ˈo.ʎus ˈveʁ.dʒi/ || She is tall and has green eyes.


In the next lesson of Unit 3, we will continue our exploration of Family and Descriptions by learning how to describe people's personalities using adjectives and basic vocabulary words. See you there!
