My poertuguese teacher told me that on Sao Paulo (comes from there) many people use "ser", more often than "ficar". And I think that in this sentance is better to use "ser" because shower doesn't move or change so, I'm not sure that using the "estar" is correct.
do the showers move around I don't think Therefore it should be ficam or sao surely
Should be because as Brasileiro told me estar is using only when something or someone moves. It like to tell - when I can find a shower? - I'm not sure, I think it goes outside.
Thing's that don't move go perfectly with "ficar":
- Onde fica a tua casa? = Where is your house? (located)
- Onde fica o teu quarto? = Where is your room?
- Onde fica esta rua? = Where is this street?
Another possibiliti for unmovable objects is "ser":
- Onde é a tua casa?
- Onde é o teu quarto?
- Onde é esta rua?
Yes, I think you mean "banheira" which is a bathtub. Chuveiros is what you should use here.
Chuveiro has it own mechanism to hot the water, while "ducha" already gets hot water from an external source.
Why do they tell me duches is good and then when I wrote it they corrected it to "duchas". Which one is good ?
