    The verb SER (to be)

    Ser is one of the verbs that mean to be. It goes with nouns, tells geographical and permanent
    locations, and it deals with some sort of characteristics. A characteristic can be considered a trait
    that you expect to last for some years. Obviously, nothing is absolutely permanent in the world, but
    if you are thin, rich, or young today, you are reasonably certain that you will still be thin, rich, or
    young for some time, thus ser is the “to be” to use. Here is its conjugation:

    ser (to be)

    eu sou I am
    tu és you are
    o senhor / a senhora / você é you are
    ele / ela é he / she is
    nós somos we are
    os senhores / as senhoras / vocês são you are
    eles / elas são they are

    About the personal pronouns:

    There are three ways of saying a singular “you” in Portuguese. Tu is the “you” used with
    fellow students, friends, young people, children, etc. Você is a common way of saying “you”
    informally among the older generation. It’s also used by the younger generation to address older
    family members (grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc.) or older people in general to whom they are
    somehow close. O senhor (masculine form) and a senhora (feminine form) are formal and polite
    ways of saying “you”, reserved for someone who is older than you, and not close to you, or is
    simply a stranger.
    As for the plural “you”, Portuguese has vocês, which is the plural form for both “tu” and
    “você”, os senhores, which is the plural form of o senhor, and as senhoras, which is the plural
    form of a senhora.

    O verbo CHAMAR-SE (to call oneself; in Serbian: zvati se)

    Portuguese verbs fall into different groups, and each group is conjugated a little differently. If you’re
    going to master Portuguese verbs like chamar-se, you need to be able to identify which group a verb belongs
    to: regular (follows regular conjugation rules for -ar, -er, and -ir verbs), stem-changing (morphs depending
    on how you use it in a sentence), spelling-changing (has consonant-spelling changes in some forms to follow
    pronunciation rules), or reflexive (reflects the action back on the subject of the sentence).
    Chamar-se (to call oneself) is a regular reflexive -ar verb. Reflexive verbs require reflexive
    pronouns and they are connected with a hyphen (-). Here’s the present tense conjugation of chamar-se:

    chamar-se (to call oneself)

    eu chamo-me
    tu chamas-te
    o senhor / a senhora / você chama-se
    ele / ela chama-se
    nós chamamo-nos
    os senhores / as senhoras / vocês chamam-se
    eles / elas chamam-se

    In negative sentences, the reflexive pronoun precedes the verb and there is no hyphen connecting them:

    não se chamar

    eu não me chamo
    tu não te chamas
    o senhor / a senhora / você não se chama
    ele / ela não se chama
    nós não nos chamamos
    os senhores / as senhoras / vocês não se chamam
    c eles / elas não se chamam
