Pronouns you actually use (I / you / we)
Choose the right ‘you’, and get comfortable with the most common pronoun patterns.
What to know
These are the patterns that matter most at beginner level.
- Tu and você both exist; formality varies by region. A safe polite option: ‘Pode…?’ + please.
- Subject pronouns can be omitted, but beginners can keep them for clarity.
Tu és daqui?
Are you from here? (tu)
Você fala inglês?
Do you speak English? (você)
Estou aqui.
I am here.
Quero água.
I want water.

Onde fica a casa de banho?
Where is the bathroom? (Portugal)

Practice tip
Take one sentence and swap the subject: I → you → we.
- Say it slowly first, then at normal speed.
- If the verb changes, learn the ‘you’ form as a pair.
