You need to get a form NG or write back to me with the name of whatever useless solicitor they gave you and your offences, plea and sentence and I'll fill out the form for you. Then we'll change your solicitor for mine. I need to know if you're on remand waiting for a trial, or if you've been sentenced.

You can write back to me here. Ask how to do it. But basically you write your reply on this email and they send it to me. That way we can keep in contact.

You do have rights even though you're in prison: This—along with other adaptations—sometimes results in rather striking transformations of common loanwords. Meanwhile, within a phrase where the following word begins with a vowel, it is pronounced as an apical flap: The same suppression also happens occasionally in EP, but much less often than in BP. That sometimes affects the spelling of words. It also can affect verbal paradigms: Related is the difference in pronunciation of the consonant represented by nh in most BP dialects. Several sound changes that affected Portuguese words were not shared by BP.

Whether such a change happens in BP is highly variable according to dialect. In the Northeast, it is more likely to happen before a consonant than word-finally, and it varies from region to region. There are many dialect-specific phonetic aspects in BP that can be essential characteristics of a dialect or another in Brazil. Thus, there are two slightly distinct pronunciations of the word menina , "girl: There are various differences between European Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese, such as the dropping of the second-person conjugations and, in some dialects, of the second-person pronoun itself in everyday usage and the use of subject pronouns ele, ela, eles, elas as direct objects.

Spoken Brazilian Portuguese usage differs from Standard Portuguese usage.

The differences include the placement of clitic pronouns and, in Brazil, the use of subject pronouns as objects in the third person. Nonstandard verb inflections are also common in colloquial Brazilian Portuguese. Spoken Portuguese rarely uses the affirmation adverb sim "yes" in informal speech. Instead, the usual reply is a repetition of the verb of the question. The affirmative answer to such a question is a repetition of the verb: If a longer answer is preferred.

Standard Portuguese forms a command according to the grammatical person of the subject who is ordered to do the action by using either the imperative form of the verb or the present subjunctive. Thus, one should use different inflections according to the pronoun used as the subject: The negative command forms use the subjunctive present tense forms of the verb. However, as for the second person forms, Brazilian Portuguese traditionally does not use the subjunctive-derived ones in spoken language. Instead, they employ the imperative forms: As for other grammatical persons, there is no such phenomenon because both the positive imperative and the negative imperative forms are from their respective present tense forms in the subjunctive mood: Also, other forms such as teu possessive , ti postprepositional , and contigo "with you" are still common in most regions of Brazil, especially in areas in which tu is still frequent.

In addition, in all the country, the imperative forms may also be the same as the formal second-person forms, but it is argued by some that it is the third-person singular indicative which doubles as the imperative: A speaker may thus end up saying "I love you" in two ways: Most Brazilians who use tu use it with the third-person verb: A few cities in Rio Grande do Sul but in the rest of the state speakers may or may not use it in more formal speech , mainly near the border with Uruguay , have a slightly different pronunciation in some instances tu vieste becomes tu viesse , which is also present in Santa Catarina and Pernambuco.

In spoken informal registers of BP, the third-person object pronouns 'o', 'a', 'os', and 'as' are virtually nonexistent and are simply left out or, when necessary and usually only when referring to people, replaced by stressed subject pronouns like ele "he" or isso "that": Eu vi ele "I saw him" rather than Eu o vi. If no ambiguity could arise especially in narrative texts , seu is also used to mean 'his' or 'her'. In Portuguese, one may or may not include the definite article before a possessive pronoun meu livro or o meu livro , for instance.

The variants of use in each dialect of Portuguese are mostly a matter of preference: Minha novela , Meu tio matou um cara. Formal written Brazilian Portuguese tends, however, to omit the definite article in accordance with prescriptive grammar rules derived from Classical Portuguese even if the alternative form is also considered correct, but many teachers consider it inelegant. Some of the examples on the right side of the table below are colloquial or regional in Brazil. Literal translations are provided to illustrate how word order changes between varieties.

Word order in the first Brazilian Portugues example is frequent in European Portuguese. Similar to the subordinate clauses like Sabes que eu te amo "You know that I love you ", but not in simple sentences like "I love you.

The example in the bottom row of the table, with its deletion of "redundant" inflections, is considered ungrammatical, but it is nonetheless dominant in Brazil throughout all social classes. Chamar 'call' is normally used with the preposition de in BP, especially when it means 'to describe someone as':. When movement to a place is described, BP uses em contracted with an article, if necessary:. In BP, the preposition para can also be used with such verbs with no difference in meaning:.

According to some contemporary Brazilian linguists Bortoni, Kato, Mattos e Silva, Perini and most recently, with great impact, Bagno , Brazilian Portuguese may be a highly diglossic language. This theory claims that there is an L-variant termed "Brazilian Vernacular" , which would be the mother tongue of all Brazilians, and an H-variant standard Brazilian Portuguese acquired through schooling. L-variant represents a simplified form of the language in terms of grammar, but not of phonetics that could have evolved from 16th-century Portuguese, influenced by Amerindian mostly Tupi and African languages , while H-variant would be based on 19th-century European Portuguese and very similar to Standard European Portuguese, with only minor differences in spelling and grammar usage.

Perini, a Brazilian linguist, even compares the depth of the differences between L- and H- variants of Brazilian Portuguese with those between Standard Spanish and European Portuguese. However, his proposal is not widely accepted by either grammarians or academics.

Azevedo wrote a chapter on diglossia in his monograph: Portuguese language A linguistic introduction , published by Cambridge University Press in From this point of view, the L-variant is the spoken form of Brazilian Portuguese, which should be avoided only in very formal speech court interrogation, political debate while the H-variant is the written form of Brazilian Portuguese, avoided only in informal writing such as songs lyrics, love letters, intimate friends correspondence.

Even language professors frequently use the L-variant while explaining students the structure and usage of the H-variant; in essays, nevertheless, all students are expected to use H-variant. There is a claim that the H-variant used to be preferred when dubbing foreign films and series into Brazilian Portuguese, [ citation needed ] but nowadays the L-variant is preferred, although this seems to lack evidence. Movie subtitles normally use a mixture of L- and H-variants, but remain closer to the H-variant. Most literary works are written in the H-variant. Still, many contemporary writers like using the H-variant even in informal dialogue.

This is also true of translated books, which never use the L-variant, only the H one. Children's books seem to be more L-friendly, but, again, if they are translated from another language The Little Prince , for instance they will use the H-variant only. This theory also posits that the matter of diglossia in Brazil is further complicated by forces of political and cultural bias, though those are not clearly named.

Language is sometimes a tool of social exclusion or social choice. According to Bagno the two variants coexist and intermingle quite seamlessly, but their status is not clear-cut. Brazilian Vernacular is still frowned upon by most grammarians and language teachers, with only remarkably few linguists championing its cause.

Some of this minority, of which Bagno is an example, appeal to their readers by their ideas that grammarians would be detractors of the termed Brazilian Vernacular, by naming it a "corrupt" form of the "pure" standard, an attitude which they classify as "linguistic prejudice". Their arguments include the postulate that the Vernacular form simplifies some of the intricacies of standard Portuguese verbal conjugation, pronoun handling, plural forms, etc. Whether Bagno's points are valid or not is open to debate, especially the solutions he recommends for the problems he claims to have identified.

Whereas some agree that he has captured the feelings of the Brazilians towards Brazil's linguistic situation well, his book Linguistic Prejudice: What it Is, What To Do has been heavily criticized by some linguists and grammarians, due to his unorthodox claims, sometimes asserted to be biased or unproven. The cultural influence of Brazilian Portuguese in the rest of the Portuguese-speaking world has greatly increased in the last decades of the 20th century, due to the popularity of Brazilian music and Brazilian soap operas. Since Brazil joined Mercosul , the South American free trade zone, Portuguese has been increasingly studied as a foreign language in Spanish-speaking partner countries.

Many words of Brazilian origin also used in other Portuguese-speaking countries have also entered into English: While originally Angolan, the word "samba" only became famous worldwide because of its popularity in Brazil.
