19. Achar ou pensar?

from 🇵🇹 Slow Portuguese With Maria Hosted by Maria Amador

In this episode of Slow Portuguese with Maria, we dive into two commonly used verbs in European Portuguese: achar and pensar. At first glance, they may seem similar, but they serve different purposes in everyday conversations. We explore how achar is more frequently used to express personal opinions or assumptions, while pensar refers to deeper, reflective thinking. I also discuss some common mistakes learners make, such as placing " eu acho" at the end of a sentence and how to correctly express negations using "acho que não" instead of "não acho".
