Hi Tim!
Actually, this meaning of “now” is also used in Portuguese.
Check on this link: https://www.dicio.com.br/agora/
One of the meanings of the word “agora” is:
“conjunção
Todavia, mas: em casa é super tímido, agora, na escola fala sem parar.”
You’re right, João Paulo. I wasn’t sure if it was, or if I was thinking in English. Now it is still good to remember that “now” is an option for “já”, too. 🙂
My friend bought a new cell phone. Now if it were I, I’d buy a camera.

You have to know what you are doing, though.

My friend went to Canada. Now, if it were I/me, I´d go to United States!
It’s my pleasure. Thank you for participating here often. Good choice for a country to visit, by the way! 😀
My friend bought a laptop, now if it were I, I’d buy a desktop computer.
It all depends on what you need it for.
It might be helpful for English learners to know that the English subjunctive is ‘dying’ and they will likely hear some native speakers using ‘was’ in place of ‘were.’
Yes, I mention that in the podcast. Actually, most will probably say “was”. My parents wouldn’t let me, though. `:-)
My friend bought an Apple, now if were me, I’d buy a Zenfone.
Dúvida 1: seria correto, pegando o meu exemplo, dizer “My friend bought an Apple. I’d buy a Zenfone instead” ?
Dúvida 2: existem outros jeitos de expressar essa ideia? Teria alguma expressão para falar “No seu lugar eu faria/compraria/etc…”
Sim, Davi. Existem várias maneiras diferentes de dizer isso. No segundo exemplo, eu diria: “If I were you, I’d buy… instead.”
My sister travelled to Sidney. Now if it were I, I’d travel to Orlando.

Sure. That is an idiomatic expression that has a similar meaning.
Ok Tim.
Thank you so much!!!
Thousands of people love whining about life. Now I prefer to be thankful for everything since there’s always a reason, after all, there’s no fluke!
