A1 Expression ニュートラル

Sou de...

I am from...

意味

To state your place of origin or nationality.

🌍

文化的背景

Brazilians are fiercely regional. If you are in a different state, always say your city or state. Saying 'Sou do Brasil' while inside Brazil sounds very strange! In Portugal, people often identify with their 'concelho' (municipality). There is a friendly rivalry between Lisbon and Porto. In Luanda, stating your 'bairro' (neighborhood) is as important as stating your city, as it often indicates your social background. Identity is often linked to the province. People from the south (Maputo) vs. the north (Cabo Delgado) have very different cultural markers.

🎯

The Article Shortcut

If you aren't sure if a country needs an article, look at its name. If it ends in 'a', it's usually 'da' (da Itália, da Argentina). If not, try 'do' (do Canadá, do Japão).

⚠️

Portugal is Special

Never say 'Sou do Portugal'. It's always 'Sou de Portugal'. This is a very common mistake!
