To talk to you
💬 After verbs like [gostar], Portuguese often uses [de] + another verb: [gostei de falar], [gosto de conhecer], [gostava de continuar]. It's a very reusable pattern for saying what you liked doing.

goosh-TAY MWEEN-too duh fah-LAR kon-SEE-goo
I really enjoyed talking with you.
💬 After [gostei], you usually get [de] before the next verb: [gostei de falar], [gostei de ouvir], [gostei de conhecer]. In Portugal, unstressed vowels get reduced a lot, so [consigo] is often said more like (kun-SEE-gu) than the spelling suggests.
See breakdown →No evento
noo ee-VEHN-too
At the event
💬 [No] is a built-in contraction: [em] + [o] becomes [no]. The same happens in [na] = [em] + [a], as in [na próxima semana].
See breakdown →De ontem
duh ohn-TENG
From yesterday
💬 [De ontem] means yesterday in the sense of 'from yesterday' or 'yesterday's': [o evento de ontem], [a reunião de ontem]. Portuguese often uses this pattern where English would use an apostrophe.
See breakdown →No evento de ontem
noo ee-VEHN-too duh ohn-TENG
At yesterday's event
💬 [No] is [em] + [o], so [no evento] literally comes from 'in the event'. [De ontem] is the usual way to say 'yesterday's', as in [a conversa de ontem].
See breakdown →Também gostei
