Originele tekst - Braziliaans Portugees - O nosso grande dia tá chegando

May I have a bridge from you, please? I'm not sure if it is a statement or a question. Thanks.

Before edit it was: Our big day is coming.
Now it looks like: Yeah, our big day is coming.

I don't know why it was edited, did walisson asked you to add it Francky?

Hello Thais, glad to see you connected!

Isn't "é chegando" the correct form of the gerundive in Portuguese? I'm sorry I should have asked a BP expert before editing, I simply thought a gerundive couldn't work without an auxiliary, but maybe should have I rather typed :
"O nosso grande dia é chegando"?

Sorry to be jumping in - couldn't resist!
The gerunditive doesn't usually work with 'ser' (3rd person singular: é) but with 'estar', of which the 3rd person singular is 'está', very commonly abbreviated to 'tá'
So 'tá' is the verb here: tá chegando.

OK, thanks for this B.P lesson Lein, I edited the way it was before.
Don't be sorry for "jumping", as you said, I'd rather have to be sorry as I did an edit without confirmation by an expert whom I should have consulted before.

Thanks a lot Lein and Francisco!

So, the first phrase is the bridge Xinyi! Our big day is coming.

Thanks to all of you. You guys are ever so nice.
