Posso
POH-soo
Can I / May I
Fazer-te companhia
fuh-ZEHR-tuh kohm-pahn-YEE-uh
Keep you company
💬 When you attach [te] to the end of a verb, it links with a hyphen: [fazer-te], [conhecer-te], [ouvir-te]. In Portugal this is very common in everyday speech, especially with infinitives and commands.

POH-soo fuh-ZEHR-tuh kohm-pahn-YEE-uh
Can I keep you company?
💬 [Fazer companhia] means "keep someone company," not literally "make company." Add the person with [a] or an attached pronoun: [fazer companhia à Ana], [fazer-te companhia].

KLAH-roo
Of course
Senta-te
SEN-tuh-tuh
Sit down
💬 In Portugal, commands to one person often put [te] after the verb with a hyphen: [senta-te], [cala-te], [aproxima-te]. The stress stays on the verb, so [senta-te] sounds roughly like (SEN-tuh-tih), with the last vowels reduced.
See breakdown →Aqui
ah-KEE
Here
Senta-te aqui.
SEN-tuh-tuh ah-KEE
Sit here.
💬 In Portugal, commands to one person often put [te] after the verb with a hyphen: [senta-te], [calma-te], [chega-te]. The unstressed vowels get reduced, so [aqui] is usually closer to (uh-KEE) than a full [a-qui].
🇵🇹 [Senta-te aqui.] is natural only once the vibe is already warm and mutual. With someone you've just approached, it can sound a bit pushy unless paired with inviting body language and a friendly tone.
See breakdown →Gosto muito de
GOH-shtoo MWEE-too duh
I really like
💬 After [gostar], Portuguese normally uses [de]: [gosto de música], [gosto do teu sorriso]. With [muito], the [de] still stays: [gosto muito de ti].
