Portuguese Words and Phrases

[Uzinuzin]

I got a bit confused reading about direct and indirect object pronouns used in Brazil, it seems it even changes a lot regionaly.

Reading these two wiki links gives you a lot of info but confuses you even more:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portugu...sonal_pronouns
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilian_Portuguese

So can someone clarify what is common in Rio AND what is common in Fortaleza for:

Direct Object pronoun:
"Eu te vi" or "Eu lhe vi" or "Eu vi voce" for "I saw you"
"Eu lhe vi" or "Eu vi ele" for "I saw him"

Indirect Object pronoun:
"Eu te dei meu livro" or "Eu lhe dei meu livro" for "I gave you my book"
"Eu lhe dei meu livro" (is there an alternative!?) for "I gave him my book"
(I think it also should be o meu livro but in Brazil they drop the o in conversation)


At the end I think I will just end up using my spanish over there... !LOL, but it's nice to know.

Christpherd tried to leave you a pm but your box is full.

You seem to know the lay of the land in rio better than most. Im just a part-time monger but I would love to get together for cofee or a beer if your still in Rio or anywhere in Brasil.

Ill be in Brasil for 6 months traveling up the coast. Hit me up with a pm if your around!

Lyrics are so fraught with colloquialisms, idioms, slang, cadence and rhyme that they are best interpreted rather than translated. No wonder that Brasilian performers do not translate English songs into Portuguese.

Very true. But you can usually get a general idea of what the song's about in some stuff, or just have fun with it together. My Banda Calypso comes out quite well, if a little flowery lol. I think Double You have a right idea - nice simple lyrics that mean s.f.a. anyway (continuing on appropriate thread before I get bollocked . . . )

It will display lyrics in English as well of course. Nice if she's learning a bit of written English.

Translation of Porto songs into English a bit ropey from attempts I've made so far though.

Here's a nice one - if you take your iPhone (out of the safe) to listen to music on with your bundle of fun, pre-load this free application and it will display the lyrics in Porto for her
TuneWiki

gives you something to look at together (other than the tv - which I mostly leave disconnected)

works a bit like a karaoke display over the album cover

I know not everybody isnt that open minded about things, I read a post earlier tonight about some monger throwing a GP out of his room because she smoked a joint in the bathroom! C'mon man, lighten up! Here you are in RJ mongering GPs and you have the nerve to critisize a garota for having a puff of herb before she has to have sex with a slob like you to make a little money? Have a little "Joga de cintura!".

I don't think it's so much a matter of leniency or "open-mindedness" about drugs in general, which would be an entirely personal choice, but rather a matter of safety in Rio.

First of all, there have been numerous reports about garotas planting drugs on mongers to extort money from them with the help of the police (who, every so conviently, happen to be friends with the girl and take a cut of her ransom money). IMHO, taking a very non-chalant approach to drugs in Rio might quite possibly expose yourself to a much higher risk in terms of getting robbed, scammed, whatever in a city that already has a bad reputation in terms of safety.

Secondly, regarding your comparison of mongering vs. drug use in Rio: mongering is legal, drugs are not. Something that is very easy to forget amid the general debauchery of Rio, where many people thing that everything goes. When it comes to drugs, it doesn't. I am saying that as someone who has been stopped on several occasions by the police and specifically searched for drugs. I really don't want to know what would have happened if I had had any on me.

In my opinion, even being around a GP that has any drugs in or on her is generally a bad idea.

Maybe: "Você me deixou esperando" and "Não me deixe esperando"

Those are great options. Another alternative would be:

"Você me deixou plantado" and "Não me deixe plantado".

Hope this helps,

If any fluent Porto speaking mongers could be so kind as to make a recording of the phrases listed in this thread and post the audio as a .zip file, I suspect that many subscribers would be eternally grateful. I know I would.

We certainly won't get these the pronunciation of these phrases from Pimsleur.

An excellent idea! I second the motion!

[ChicoBarca]

Hi Orgasm,

In general I would say that a GP having a a small taste of brazilian herb is not a big deal, how ever if you read an earlier post regarding Police in Rio you would probably think twice regarding taking a GP with herb in her bag to your hotel or flat. Beside that. Enjoy every moment in Rio in the way only you like or want.

Anabolic Steriod use is fairly popular amongst many Brasilieras. I have known professional dancers who use to enhance their legs and ass, and to firm up their body. You can imagine it is more affordable than any kind of plastic surgery.

The side effects (good or bad) is a permanently enlarged clitoris, increased libido, body hair growth, and if they are currently "juicing", the look a bit bloated in the face...

Personally I was a bit shocked to see a big "girlie-boner", but I quickly got over it because it makes it VERY obvious that she is aroused, so now I guess it is kind of a turn-on for me. Sort of like the first time a girl had a squirting orgasm on me, I thought it was kind of "freak-show", but now I really dig it. (when there is a 3-foot wet-spot on the bed, you KNOW you had good sex!) I enjoy her increased libido, almost all brasilieras bleach and wax any body hair, the slightly bloated appearance can be overlooked, but dont forget that they are mixing "roid-rage" with hot latina blood! VERY VOLITILE!

(dynamite comes in small packages!)

But some of the BEST SEX Ive had in my life were with girls that were a bit loco. I imagine this is because they dont have the same definition as most people do, as to what is considered "perverted". Which by the way, is defined by your society.

Have a little "Joga de cintura!".

(Joga de cintura = play in the waist = loosen up!)

Have fun and enjoy all of the wonderful "flavors" Brasil has to offer. You will certainly find something that suits your appetite.

I burn that to a CD or small thumbdrive and give it to garotas that are serious about learning ingles. It is certainly cheaper than classes.

What a kind idea. Nice one, donor. I hope someone comes up with something. I'm also interested if you do as I've occasionally given away phrase books and pocket dictionaries (very cheap - they never seem to think of buying them for themselves). Most of my girls aren't in the iPod-carrying set.

[Orgasm Donor]

I have had great success learning Portugues with the Pimsleur method. I have collected a good size library of other dictionaries, books and audio lessons.

A great idea I had was to put my 30min Pimsleur lessons on my iPod, and whenever I had 30min or more of free time, (usually when I lay down to sleep, so I can focus) I play a lesson or two.
I also download short lessons from a Brazilian Portugues Podcast, which is helpful as well for rounding out my report.

My question for you gentlemen is that anyone know of a similar lesson for a Portugues speaker to learn ingles? A portugues-ingles podcast? Most I find are Espanol-ingles. Pimsleur has one class (level 1 only) and I have that. I burn that to a CD or small thumbdrive and give it to garotas that are serious about learning ingles. It is certainly cheaper than classes.

Any leads or tips?

Someone answered this before, but I found myself wanting to remember this phrase several times. What is quick understandable phrase (to text for example) to say... "you stood me up"? would it be "voce deixe-me espere"
I imagine to say "dont stand me up" would be something like " nao deixe-me espere"?

Maybe: "Você me deixou esperando" and "Não me deixe esperando"

No, you're right, I don't want steriod clits. And thank you for the phrase 'bomba'! I'll definately use it in my screening.

But I don't think either Chantily's Graciane (Sampa) or Destack's Ariela (RJ) are steriod enhanced.

In contrast to HOTSIDE's Tania, who does look like she's on steriods, Graciane (and to a lesser extent, Ariela) don't have the bulky muscles throughout their bodies.

And if not, if they're not bomba'd, that means sexy little Graciane is packing a clit twice the average size (16mm)!

(Hey, I'm not going to exotic Brazil to see the same boring products of Western sensibilities I can find around here. I want (sex) freaks of nature, ones whose ancestors completely missed The Enlightenment's wicked "surgeons" altogether!

Thank you!
