意思

Occasionally; not very often.

🌍

文化背景

Brazilians use this phrase to be polite. If you ask someone to do something they don't really want to do regularly, they might say they do it 'de vez em quando' to avoid saying 'no'. In Portugal, the phrase is used exactly as in Brazil, but you will also find 'de quando em vez' in newspapers and books, which sounds more sophisticated. The phrase is essential for the 'small talk' culture in Portuguese-speaking countries, where discussing habits is a common icebreaker.

🎯

Sentence Placement

Put it at the end of your sentence to sound more like a native speaker during casual chats.

⚠️

Don't drop the 'De'

Always start with 'De'. Saying just 'vez em quando' is a common beginner mistake.
