The King of Spain must help public health with at least part of what he received from Saudi Arabia.

Do Brazilians sound retarded to Portuguese in the same way that Americans sound to us?
Zachary Fisher
Estou a comer is retarded even for an Italain-speaker
Josiah Wright
All portuguese speakers sound retarded to spanish speakers.
Jacob Moore
Both are correct
Ian Lopez
Portuguese is a horrible language, it's the Chinese of Europe.
Christian Ramirez
This depends on where you live.
In my city we use "tú" too. Very rarely for someone to use "você"
Tyler Cruz
>Brazilians sound retarded to Portuguese
It's the other way around
Colton Torres
Yes, and a portuguese sound retarded to a brazilian.
Anything that isn't familiar sounds retarded.

We use both constructions in different contexts, though.
Although "a + infinitive" is the most commonly used for a sense of continuous action, gerund would also imply it on a larger period of time:
"Estou a andar" -> I am walking (at the moment)
"Vou andando" -> I am, have been and will be walking in the near future.
Not to mention that the second form is still used south of Tejo regularly anyway. Did latin even have a continuous form?

It would be more like: "shtou a cmer", to be frank.
Whenever you guys use "tu" (not tú, come on), do you guys conjugate the second person? I.e. "tu estás" instead of "tu está"?
My housemate is from Bragança and she still uses the "vós" as a default, which makes me kind of impressed, to be honest: "se quiserdes, podeis vir jantar".
Lucas Reed
>do you guys conjugate the second person?
Nah, people just use it as a substitute to você
Cameron Nelson
>do you guys conjugate the second person?
Only in Rio Grande do Sul.
Ethan Powell
And Rio Grande do Norte

>Whenever you guys use "tu" (not tú, come on), do you guys conjugate the second person? I.e. "tu estás" instead of "tu está"?
I do, but honestly I don't know if other brazilians do the same. I've been almost one decade in isolation, so who knows how they speak?
