  • vou → transferir: periphrasis
  • transferir → ligação: object
  • a → ligação: agreement

Word for word: “A moment, (I) go to-transfer the call.”

Why it's built this way

The notes match the numbers above.

  1. 1
    vou transferir: ir + infinitive for what you’re about to do, with no a. ir + infinitive: the spoken future →
  2. 2
    a ligação = phone call (ligar = to call). It has nothing to do with Spanish ligar, "to flirt".

Variations

  • Só um momento, vou passar a ligação.
  • Aguarde um instante, por favor.
  • Um minutinho, vou passar pra ela.
