"Eu preciso de você."

Translation: I need you.

[JamesBond312484]

Time to hit on some Brazilian girls?

[petee0518]

Somehow I don't see "I need you" being too successful in most cases

[skehg]

Time to improve the flirting section

[JewishPolyglot]

What more can the flirting section offer? This is already more than I need to know. Does anyone ever go to Brazil to do something serious like business?

[PHScanes]

I see that you don't know anything about business in Brasil...

[JewishPolyglot]

Businessmen say this kind of thing to each other?

[Vegetable_Juice]

Just think of a boss saying "Hold on Jameson, I need you (for a minute). I want your opinion on (random business thing here)."

[JewishPolyglot]

True, it could even be something like "Mr. Garcia, your company makes ice cream and my company makes ice cream cones. We need each other."

Honestly, I think I speak for most of us here. Thank you Paulenrique. Your advice is always spot on! Thanks again.

[dro1215]

very much thanks!

[DaleWinsto]

From what I've learned it's just a rule that de is followed after precisa

[Monimaboo]

I think of this verb to mean 'to have need OF ' then I always remember to write 'de'. Well, nearly always! It's the same construction in French and Italian, probably Spanish as well.

"Eu preciso de voce", "Eu quero voce", " Eu gosto de voce".

I remembered Giselle on her interview with Conan. :D
