How to Talk about Outdoor Activities in Portuguese

How to Talk about Outdoor Activities in Portuguese

How to talk about Outdoor Activities in Portuguese - Portuguese lesson

It’s summer in Brazil. If you’re visiting the country, you will certainly enjoy many outdoor activities. How do you say outdoor activity in Portuguese? How do you say that the concert will be outdoors? In this lesson I will show you how to say outdoor in Portuguese and how we use the word outdoor in Brazil. I find it funny.

Ao ar livre = Outdoors

So that’s how you say outdoors in Portuguese: ao ar livre. Literally it translates to “in free air”, which would mean in “in open air”.

Below are examples using the expression. Notice that it doesn’t change with gender or number.

1)

É comum jogar capoeira ao ar livre no Brasil.

= It’s common to play capoeira outdoors in Brazil.

2)

Adoro shows ao ar livre no verão.

= I love outdoor concerts during summer.

3)

Tem muitas atividades ao ar livre para se fazer em São Paulo.

= There are many outdoor activities to do in São Paulo.

Outdoor = Billboard

Here’s something curious. In Brazil, a billboard is called an outdoor. Funny, right? In this case, we use the English word outdoor as a masculine noun. For example:

  • O que você acha dos novos outdoors da Nike?

= What do you think of Nike’s new billboards?

    Good Morning ! Bom Dia, Luciana,

    I am a student of your company and very much enjoy class and my professor.
    I would like to bring to your attention our printable school book. It is lacking in clarity. For example using Cognates ….it does not say…. for example: In the following exercises on the next 3 pages lplease use the Cognates you have just learned. It simply begins with the next page and exercises.
    It is difficult to study text in a foreign language, however I believe a few more useful words to describe how and what is to occur next would be most helpful to others who learn differently. Ex: I am very literal in my understanding and frequently miss nuances that are suppose to contain humor. I love love my Professor and classes and I thank you for a great platform for learning. My very best, E
