In English, to express doubt about something or to show that you’re worried about something or someone, we use the expression “I wonder if”. But in Portuguese the equivalent expression is always a question:
Será que vai chover? I wonder if it’s going to rain.
Será que ele fala português? I wonder if he speaks Portuguese.
Será que ela me ama? I wonder if she loves me.
