Hello, listeners! 

Welcome to another episode of Slow Portuguese with Maria! 🌟 Today, we’re exploring the differences between three essential Portuguese verbs: "conhecer" (to know/meet), "encontrar" (to find/meet up), and "conhecer-se" (to get to know oneself/each other). 

While these verbs may seem similar, each has a distinct meaning and use. In this episode, you’ll learn how to use them correctly in sentences like:

• "Eu conheço Lisboa" (I know Lisbon).

  
  



• "Vou encontrar a Joana às três" (I’m meeting Joana at 3 o’clock).

  
  



• "É importante conhecer-se a si mesmo" (It’s important to know oneself).

  
  

Plus, we’ll cover examples for both planned and chance encounters, as well as uses for objects and self-awareness.
