- Daniela, O fuso horário oficial do Brasil é GMT -3. Vá no Google e digite "horário oficial do Brasil" e aparecerá um relógio com a hora em Brasília, nosso fuso horário oficial. O Brasil ainda tem 1 fuso adiantado (GMT -2) e dois atrasados (GMT -4 e GMT -5). Em outubro começa nosso horário de verão, válido para quase todos os estados, então passamos para GMT -2 até fevereiro. Espero ter ajudado. Fly0 votedAugust 1, 20170
- In my days of English school, I was told that the verb "stop" has a special construction, where you need to say what exactly you are stopping. So, in your example, "stop grumbling", means that the grumble must stop. If you say "stop to grumble", it means you are doing something, then you stop it and start grumbling. Other than that, I believe the infinitive in English, when two verbs are used together, is made by applying "ing" on the second one, like in "it's time to *start working* a new tomorrow". I am sure there is more formal way of stating this, like a written rule in some book, but I am not a native speaker and my days of English school are long gone. Fly0 votedJuly 20, 20170
- Dear Diana, The problem I see here is that "autocensuran" is a verb, and "self-censorship" is a noun. So, a direct translation using both of these would no be possible. Note that "censor" can be used as a verb, like in "Disqus never moderates or censors". So, I would go with "Do writers censor themselves?" for a "flat" translation. To use the noun as you wish, I would go with "Do writers use self-censorship?". Again, I am not a native speaker, and there could be a better answer here. Fly0 votedJuly 19, 20170
- I have never heard this one, but to me sounds like: "ups" in like "get ready, you are up", meaning it's someone's turn to do something. And "offs" like "we are off to the game", meaning we left somewhere to go somewhere else. So, in your sentence, I would go with "And I just got ready and left to the music hall", in a very coloquial way of saying it ("ups and offs"). I am not a native speaker, though, and I may be wrong. It could be some strange slang only known to brits or americans... like Austin Power and his father on english English ("the one that was all sixes and sevens"). *roll eyes* Fly0 votedJuly 18, 20171
