How do you say 'Are you at home' in Portuguese?

Answer 1

The Portuguese equivalent of the English question 'Are you at home' is the following: Voce esta em casa?; Tu estas em casa. The Portuguese pronunciation is the following: voh-SAY eh-SHTAH eng KAH-zuh; and too eh-SHTAH zeng KAH-zuh. The word-by-word translation is the following: 'voce' and 'tu' mean 'you'; 'esta' and 'estas' '[You] are'; 'em' 'in'; 'casa' 'house'. The first example tends to be used in Brazil. Either of the examples may be used in Portugal. For peninsular Portuguese still uses the 'you' [tu] of children and the close circle of family and friends. Another, distinctively Brazilian Portuguese way of asking the question is the following: Voce fica em casa? This alternative verb is pronounced as FEE-kuh.
