| Oct 1, 2015 at 21:43 | comment | added | Artefacto | @Some_Guy It's not grammatically wrong (you can say, after all, há de haver, haverá, havia havido, tenho tido, se vier a vir, and so on). It's just that vou already can mean vou ir. In Portugal, no one will say vou ir, and the fact that in Brazil some people do say that is only further proof the more advanced grammaticalization state in Brazil. | |

But it seems like you're saying it's in common usage in Brazil, so why is it wrong to use this? | |
| Oct 1, 2015 at 11:30 | comment | added | Some_Guy | What's wrong with it though if vou is the auxiliary and Ir the lexical verb? How is this different than the English "I did do it","I have had ice cream before" or "I'm going to go out later"? | |
| Oct 1, 2015 at 10:51 | comment | added | Nurdagniriel | All the answers are correct but just a comment about "going to go". Please, never say "eu vou ir" "ele vai ir lá". It sounds terrible and very very wrong. Just say "eu vou" or "eu irei". "Eu vou ir" = "I will go go" o.O. Lot's of people say like that in BR though. I hate it and really hurts to hear that. | |
