Some expressions
Hey guys,
Passing by I just dropped in to write some expressions we use in Brazil, if you want to know some others, you can put them into the comment window and I'll try to translate it as soon as possible :)
Sometimes - De vez em quando
Maybe - Talvez
Piece of cake - Mamão com açúcar -> this one is like "papaya with sugar", and it is not commonly in use, but we understand it when someone say it
Once upon a time.. - Era uma vez..
"Engolir um sapo"( to swallow a frog) - means that you went through something you didn't like but you did it without complain. As you were at work and your boss was not nice with you, but you kept doing your job anyways, so you " had swallowed a frog, so that you woudn't be fired.
"Pisar na bola" (to step on a ball) - means you disappointed someone, you messed up something..
Abraços. Kamenko
