com dizir em português What are some useful phrases I can learn? Greetings that are more cultural than the standard "oi!" I am reffering to slang or less "professional" phrases. Ofcourse phrases that are non-offensive. Examples in English are: " 'sup dude" - Hi, what's up" " on the fly" - on the low like going unnoticed " Want to chill?" - want to hang out? "dope" - cool, fun, interesting. " on fleek" - on point. perfect "fasho". for sure "shady" - not nice , rude , bad intentions "kick it" - hang out "hella" - a lot of "the city" - san francsico " i got you" - yes i will count on me "flex (flexing)"- show someone up , challenge someone These phrases are specific to the area I live in in California. I am from the bay area. So these terms are good to know if yoy have the opportunity to mingle with bay area natives. ( san francisco , san jose , oakland etc.) These terms are not offensive. they are just part of the daily vocabulary

Here are some more brazilian slangs:

"falsiane" it's someone who you cannot trust, who's always fake with you.

"cara", "vei", "lek" similar to dude 

"neguinho" is always someone whose name isn't said. It's similar to "he" and "her" (works for both) and very informal I would say. 

"Tipo" it's kind of an informal interjection. In Rio people can't complete a phrase without "tipo" in it. It gives the idea of "I was at the beach AND THEN (e aí tipo) he showed up in front of me"

"tá ligado" Gives the idea of ...you know?" at the end of a phrase. "He said he doesn't want to keep up with this, you know?"

"seje menas" it's a wrong way to say "seja menos" and it means something like "Stop. You're too over, be less." 

"Partiu?" and "bora" means "let's go"

"Deixa comigo" ou "xá comigo" means "I got your back"

Deu ruim" means "something went wrong"

"Pela saco" is someone who's is always doing something for someone, keep around them, who agrees with everything that person say and doesn't have personal opinion.

"Patricinha" is how we call the girls who are too girly. Regina George, from mean Girls, is a "patricinha" and the movie "Clueless" in Brazil is called "As Patricinhas de Beverly Hills"

"kiridinha" is how we say a rude "darling" like "darling, please. You're a shame."


And that's it for today. I could name a few more, but I guess it's enough. Isn't it? Hahaha
