see ya.

I’m a brazilian living in UK… Here they say a lot: what’s up? and just answer, “ok”, “fine”,”not so bad”… and it’s just about the last response I’d like to ma ke a comment… I think in Brasil we’d never say “Not so bad”… It sounds so strange for me since the beggining… I can’t think about somebody asking me how I am, and I answer: “Nao tao mau…”… Definitely, we are such great people that even on that bad days, we keep confirming it’s everything ok…

And, just to finish, in SP we use to say “Beleza”, or “Belê”, that means (literally), “beauty”…

I AM SO PROUD OF BEING BRAZILIAN!!!!!!

As I native speaker of Portuguese I find it funny to see your your discussions of language problems (considering they’re no problems to me). But then I turn the problems around (how
would you say that in English) and then the problem suddently
becomes quite serious or quite interesting. Just to mention the
first problem in your list, “I’m just chilling” should be
translated as “Estou morrendo de frio” (I am dying of cold).
I will come back to this site later, as “(Es)tou sem tempo agora”. Té mais.

o site é muito bom… se quiserem aprender o português mesmo, o site está ajudando e muito…qualquer problema, entra em contato… estarei pronto pra ajudá-lo… I’ll help you!
