"Há química entre você e eu."

Translation: There is chemistry between you and me.

[JCMcGee]

This is a better line than anu in the "flirting" lesson!!!

[ps42311p]

This couldn't also possibly translate to: "There is a chemist between you and I."???

[ChipAgapi]

I think the indefinite article "um" is missing to translate into that...

[meanders-us]

(Also, "you and I" would be grammatically incorrect English in this case. "You and me" is the correct phrase.)

[richardthorburn]

It accepted when I gave that translation; but suggested that it be "and me."

[OsoGegenHest]

They've actually used "há" for once! Death to "tem"!

[deactivated user]

Rarely will you hear anyone say "há" in Brazil.

[SJKP]

Anything wrong with "A química entre você e eu", as in "the chemistry between you and me"?

[wyhhit]

No verb, no sentence.

[dave.pretty]

Like many just in this lesson, never mind Duolingo as a whole

[KermitRainman]

Based on the sounds alone, would this also be an acceptable answer: "A química entre você e eu."?? (The chemistry between you and me). My point is how can one audibly distinguish between the definite feminine article "a" and "Há" ??

[Paulenrique]

The sound is the same!

[powkagese]

Why would you use ha instead of tem?

[Daniel.Bruce]

"tem" should only represent something you have (possession). "há" as the main verb, represent something that exist, happen or occur.

[powkagese]

Thanks Daniel! That makes sense. So you use tem if it belongs to you?

[darstellerin]

After 'entre' shouldn't it be 'vos e mim' because 'entre' is a preposition?

[bacam1lgr4u]

Yeah, "vos" is never used in Brazil (maybe only in religious context). But you're right, it is grammatically correct to say "entre você e mim".

[4oYBIxtO]

We have learned about the female chemist, so Duolingo assumes that we also know all other meanings of the word, like the one here where it means "chemistry".

[Willia536866]

Could anybody explain what that means? The woman's voice sounds very angry saying that. So perhaps it means there is a bad current or mood between us?

[bacam1lgr4u]

it means that there's attraction or something romantic between those people

[Arc7an]

What is the difference between 'Ha' and 'Tem', when it means 'There is/are'?

[Daniel.Bruce]

"tem" should only represent something you have (possession). "há" as the main verb, represent something that exist, happen or occur.

[PhillipBro6]

Tem can in fact be used as "there is". When tem is used without a subject it means there is.

Ela tem um bolo.
She has a cake

Tem um bolo na mesa
There is a cake on the table

Tem is more commonly used in daily speech in Brazil. One reason being that A and Há have no difference in pronunciation and can be misunderstood.

[deactivated user]

Há is formal in BrP, and tem is colloquial. Both are impersonal and conjugated as 3rd person singular verbs.

Há/Tem um carro na garagem.
Há/Tem três carros na garagem.

[-Ivngodoy]

When do we use tem and when há?

[Paulenrique]

"Tem" is informal and used in spoken language.

[Pau_B]

When do you use tem and when do you use há (there is)?

[lilmsrosie87]

I was wondering the same thing

[Pau_B]

I asked a Portuguese speaker what the difference was (since nobody here on Duolingo takes the time to answer my question ;D) and he told me that it's more commonly used tem while há, he said, "é para os intelectuais". XD

[Maria696768]

It's a lie. I'm a native portuguese speaker and only here on Duolingo i read and heard Tem instead Há . Há it means for us something that exist and Tem possession .. we wouldn't never ever say: tem um homem na porta! Sorry

[Maria696768]

We usually say: está alguém à porta, está um homem na porta...está ali uma pedra...linguagem comum...intelectuais?!!! Espantada!!!
