- Let´s go see the difference: "antiguo" use to something that have many years, or decades, or centuries, but their conservation is very good. For example, a building with 50 years, but that have good painting, not broken glass, so we say in spanish that the building is "antiguo". Don´t "viejo". "viejo" we use to things that not have a good condition, for example, a bulding with only two years, but have bad conditions, so is "viejo". One car from 2012, but that have bad conditions, "es un coche viejo". Now, to finish, to make mention to older people, we use the word "Grande". For example, "mi papá está grande". My father is older. We can say "Mi papa está viejo", but will not make the other person feel good. In this case, using "viejo" is like say that the father is in bad conditions.0 votedFebruary 5, 20132

"Perereca sem dono" is a name about one carnaval block dance at Rio de Janeiro. "Perereca sem dono" also is a expression of double meaning. It is low level. "Perereca" makes reference to woman´s vagina. When one person say "Perereca sem dono" it means that a woman who has sex with many men and has not a fix relationship. So, the people say that woman is a "Perereca sem dono". Is not a good expression to say. I hope helped you. Best regards0 votedFebruary 2, 20131
