Dating Apps

1. Vin o teu perfil nunha aplicación de citas

   I saw your profile on a dating app

   Usage

   An opener for someone whose profile you found on a dating app

   Grammar Note

   Nunha is en + unha. App is aplicación (-ción ending). Cita means appointment or date

2. Queres falar por Tinder?

   Would you like to chat on Tinder?

   Usage

   Suggests chatting through Tinder

   Grammar Note

   The 2nd-person singular of querer is queres (not Spanish quieres). Tinder is a brand name and stays as written

3. Que buscas nesta aplicación?

   What are you looking for on this app?

   Usage

   Asks what the other person is looking for on the app

   Grammar Note

   The question word que has no accent. Nesta is en + esta. Buscar takes no preposition before its object

4. Son novo / nova nesta aplicación. Como funciona?

   I'm new to this app — how does it work?

   Usage

   Says you are new to the app and asks how it works

   Grammar Note

   The 1st-person singular of ser is son (not Spanish soy). Choose novo or nova to match the speaker. The question word como has no accent

5. Podemos facer unha videochamada antes de vernos?

   Can we video chat before meeting in person?

   Usage

   Suggests a video call before meeting in person

   Grammar Note

   Galician facer is spelled with c (not Portuguese fazer). Videochamada is in the RAG dictionary. Vernos is ver + nos without a hyphen

6. Onde queres que nos atopemos na nosa primeira cita?

   Where would you like to meet for our first date?

   Usage

   Asks where the other person would like to meet for the first date

   Grammar Note

   Querer que takes the present subjunctive. Atoparse means to meet. Na is en + a. After que, the pronoun nos goes before the verb

7. Gustoume moito falar contigo. Queres que nos vexamos en persoa?

   I loved chatting with you — want to meet in person?

   Usage

   Says you enjoyed chatting and proposes meeting in person

   Grammar Note

   "With you" is the single word contigo. The present subjunctive of ver in the 1st plural is vexamos (same stem as vexo)

8. Tes un perfil xenial e fotos moi fermosas!

   You have a great profile / nice photos!

   Usage

   A compliment on someone's profile and photos

   Grammar Note

   Xenial means great (one form for both genders). Adjectives agree with the noun: fotos fermosas

9. Estou aquí só unha semana. Queres que nos vexamos?

   I'm here for a week — would you like to meet?

   Usage

   Says you are only here for a week and suggests meeting

   Grammar Note

   The 1st-person singular of estar is estou. "A week" is unha semana (feminine). The adverb só carries an accent

10. Creo que nos entendemos moi ben!

    I think we get along really well!

    Usage

    Says you feel you get along very well

    Grammar Note

    Entenderse means to understand each other or get along. "Very" is moi, and crer gives creo in the 1st person singular
