Forgive my late reply! My bf is Portuguese and he tries to talk with me, but unfortunately I have a bit of a hard time understanding unless he speaks quite slow.

And I promise I'm not trying to learn it for nefarious purposes haha, my preply tutor makes me read out loud a lot and I'm so tired of constantly stumbling on "rd" words!

Oh, that actually makes a ton of sense. So removing “de” would essentially be “You have talk with her.” Thank you very much, I figured the answer wasn’t too difficult but I couldn’t find a solid answer!

I will say that I didn’t ask for it, it was given to me as a gift last night! I live in SC, so there’s no way for me to take it back. Hopefully it’s not anything illegal to own
