Notes for this episode:
Notice how Luísa treats Sr. Ramiro with the formal form of "you" and he treats Luísa with the informal form (tu). Learn more about informal vs. formal forms of "you".
Can you find examples of diminutive forms?
Notice how Portuguese typically does not always use articles (um, uma, etc.) when naming a profession (ferreiro vs a blacksmith)
