How to say "get" in European Portuguese

Today we're talking about the verb "to get" in Portuguese. So how do we say “get” in Portuguese? The answer to this question is actually another question which is - What are you trying to say?
“To get” doesn't have a direct translation in Portuguese. It has many. Please note that the resulting "linked" words in this video are not the way they would ever be written. I'm not a trained linguist nor am I an expert in Portuguese phonetics but it's a subject that speaks to me quite literally. I offer you my views on pronunciation through the eyes and ears of someone who went through the process of learning Portuguese myself as a foreigner (albeit when I was very young). I have a huge interest in this subject and I'm always trying to learn more and improve my knowledge on it.

Unfortunately, there is no single verb to accommodate the meaning like in English.
Portuguese is a stress-time language and so many people struggle with understanding Portuguese when it's spoken to them or wonder why people will switch to English because they see you struggle with the pronunciation when YOU are trying to speak. I colour code my onscreen subtitles with light blue to represent the stressed syllable. I use the colour red to represent either a letter cancellation or suppression (usually a vowel). I haven't illustrated all the suppressions in this video because the words are not in sentences.
