my portuguese progress

Happy Cill Goes to the Market

Happy Cill approaches the Butcher Dude at the butcher stall to buy a frozen duck for Mark. She is quite cheerful, even though she is a vegetarian and finds frozen duck cadavers repulsive and sad. Not to worry. She is becoming confident with her Portuguese!


Happy Cill: Just one frozen duck please.

Butcher Dude: Sorry, the only ducks we have here are frozen. We don't have fresh ducks.

HC: OK, well then I'll take one frozen duck, please.

BD: But is it OK with Senhora if it is frozen?

HC: Yes.

BD: Will there be anything else today?

HC: No thank you, just the duck.

BD: OK here's your duck. What else is it that you would like?

HC: Nothing else, thanks. Only the duck.

BD: OK, what else?

HC: Just. Just this duck. Thank you.

BD: Senhora doesn't want anything else?

Just Cill: Yes. No. Yes nothing else.
