Novo Acordo Ortográfico - Parte 2 [Prof Noslen]

Summary

In this educational session, the professor continues discussing changes introduced by the New Orthographic Agreement in the Portuguese language. The focus shifts to spelling and hyphenation rules, emphasizing alterations in word combinations like 'antessala' and 'microondas.' The professor explains when to use or omit the hyphen based on vowel or consonant patterns and provides examples to clarify these changes. While acknowledging the complexity of some rules, the professor reassures students that only 4% of the vocabulary is affected. The lesson concludes with a reminder to stay engaged and revisit the material as needed.

Takeaways

• 😀 The lesson continues discussing changes in the orthographic agreement.
• 📝 Words that used to have a hyphen, like 'antessala,' now have double letters when merged, like 'antessala' (with double 's').
• ✏️ When the prefix ends with a vowel and the second part starts with 'r' or 's', these letters are doubled to preserve pronunciation.
• 😮 Prefixes like 'inter' and 'super' don't change; they keep the hyphen, as in 'super-herói'.
• 🧐 When vowels in the prefix and the second word are the same, they remain separated by a hyphen, like 'anti-inflamatório.'
• 🤔 Words with different vowels, however, are joined, like 'ensinoaprendizagem.'
• 🪂 Words like 'paraquedas' (parachute) now have no hyphen and are written together.
• 💡 The lesson emphasizes that the orthographic agreement only changed 4% of the language's vocabulary.
• 📚 The teacher will provide a table with the new spelling rules for better understanding.
• 🎯 The focus is on the importance of mastering these changes for daily usage, even though they are not numerous.

Q & A

What is the main focus of the lesson in the transcript?

The main focus of the lesson is the changes in the Portuguese language according to the new orthographic agreement, specifically addressing the use of hyphens and spelling modifications.

What specific topics are covered in this part of the lesson?

The lesson covers changes in the use of hyphens, the merging of certain words, and the phonetic rules applied when combining prefixes and base words, particularly focusing on when to double consonants like 's' and 'r'.

What rule does the instructor mention about combining words when the second part begins with an 's'?

If the prefix ends in a vowel and the next part begins with 's', the 's' should be doubled to maintain the phonetic integrity when the words are combined, as seen with the word 'antessala'.

How does the new orthographic agreement handle prefixes with words starting with 'r'?

When the prefix ends with a vowel and the second part starts with 'r', the 'r' is doubled when the words are combined, as in 'ante-reumatismo', which becomes 'anterreumatismo'.

Are there any exceptions to the rule of combining prefixes and words?

Yes, the instructor mentions that certain prefixes like 'hiper', 'inter', and 'super' maintain their structure when combined with other words, and the hyphen remains, as in 'hiper-risonho' and 'super-herói'.

What change occurs when two identical vowels meet in the new orthographic agreement?

When a prefix ends with a vowel and the next part of the word also begins with the same vowel, a hyphen is used to separate them, as seen in 'anti-inflamatório'.

How are words with different vowels treated in the new agreement?

If the prefix ends with a vowel and the next part of the word begins with a different vowel, the words are combined without a hyphen, as in 'autoanálise' or 'ensinoaprendizagem'.

What example does the instructor give for words that have become combined due to their common usage?

The instructor mentions 'mandachuva' and 'paraquedas' as examples of words that have been combined due to their established use in everyday language, removing the hyphen.

How should words with the prefix and a second part beginning with 'h' be written according to the new agreement?

If the prefix is followed by a word starting with 'h', the hyphen should be maintained, as in 'anti-higiênico'.

How does the instructor suggest students practice and learn the new orthographic changes?

The instructor suggests practicing by writing frequently and using reference tables that summarize the new spelling rules. These tables are available online and can help reinforce understanding.
