- In Brazil it varies by region but a common thing to find in a breakfast is coffee (either black or mixed with milk), milk, chocolate milk, milk smoothie or juice for beverage, and bread for eating.The bread can be a french bread or a sliced toast bread (but soft) and in either case you eat it as-is or you put it in a hot press.To boost up the bread people will apply butter to it or you can also use a variety of cheese or cold cut options like ham, the most common one being mortadela, which is a mix of different types of meat stuffed in a tube like some kind of giant sausage. Fried eggs are also a common option with or without the bread.All the bread possibilities can also be replaced with crackers instead.I think the most common fruit in a breakfast is banana.If I were to pick a baseline breakfast though, it would be black coffee and french bread with butter and mortadela. That's the popular breakfast even if you're eating on the street in a bakery.The Brazilian breakfast isn't a very powerful one (except maybe in the northeastern region where they might include jerked beef and cassava) and people will just have more food at lunch time instead of at breakfast.0 votedDecember 25, 20190
- Pronunciation of J in Argentina Hi guys, I've been to Argentina and I think I noticed an unusual pronunciation of J in some words, particularly in the word "naranja". It sounded like it was pronounced like "narandja" like it would be in English. Can someone tell me if I just misunderstood it or if it could be a regional thing? I'm almost sure I heard it pronounced like that in other words too. Thanks!March 12, 201962
- The many faces of soda pop
Hi, y'all.
Yesterday I was watching a video from a YouTube personality called superwoman and there was a moment when she mentioned the word soda pop and repeatedly focused on this "pop" part, as if saying "THIS is how you say it." She's apparently Canadian, so I don't know if that explains the usage of pop.
So what I would like to know is if you guys can point out some regional differences in the way you call certain things and if some people may not understand what you're talking about when you use a regional variation. For example, in Brazil there's the classic discussion about biscoito vs bolacha between people from Rio and São Paulo.
Can you point out examples like this of how people in different cities or regions call the same thing by different names and if people have a "my version is the correct one" attitude?
Thanks in advance
June 23, 201840 - To me, you can't really be fulfilled if all you can come up with are things that are basically only related to you and what you do or what you get or what you want to be. I think that living a fulfilled life means to go beyond your own self and let your life mingle with that of other people by influencing them, learning with them, helping and getting helped, these things.
I don't think you can say that you lived a fulfilled life or that your life is fulfilled when it can't even get past your ego. A life that's also lived in benefit of others is the most fulfilling type of life, because when others -- and not just yourself -- can say you've lived such a life, that's what matters.
Peace

Ethiopian’s Eunuch eagerness about his belief. I think you mean "The Ethiopian Eunuch's eagerness about his belief."
In chapter eight of Act I never heard of the book's name being called Act, but "Acts" or "the book of Acts" instead.in chapter eight from thirty to thirty-one verses from verses thirty to thirty-one
When Philp Philip
“How did I know unless someone explains to me?” I think "How can I know unless someone explains it to me?" works better here, for example.
In the thirty-five verse In verse thirty-five
and the eunuch tried to be baptized Do you mean "the eunuch asked to be baptized"? Maybe it's just my personal opinion, but "tried" seems a bit off here when you know the context. To me it sounds like he tried to do something to be baptized but failed or was rejected, when in fact he just asked and got it.
In the point of Christian perspective In the Christian perspectiveit might be meaningless if we receive the holy spirit which let us know what God wants to say. I don't understand what you mean here. Do you mean it might be meaningless if we don't receive the Holy Spirit? I think it makes more sense based on your text.
Thus, our effort to read and pray to God without the holy spirit might be nothing than do nothing I don't get this part, sorry. Maybe you mean "might not be any different than doing nothing"?
It does not mean that we stay nothing to do Do you mean "that we do nothing"?
we are like a creature doing something assigned by a society or my identity. "assigned by a society or by our identity" or "assigned by a society or by its own identity" if you want to describe the creature in the third person.that I even do now know It's a bit hazy to me.
for us to live a day by day "for us to live day by day"
I'm not a native speaker, but I can get a general understanding of your text, Lim, but to me those parts are a bit confusing. I speak from my own perception, so I hope somebody may help you more thoroughly.

O meu "escritório" super professionalprofissional
Eu tótô (some write it as "to") começando uma empresa do lado doem paralelo ao ("do lado do" gives the idea of it being physically located next to your current workplace, but it seems your intention was to say that you work on both things in parallel) meu trabalho normal. Entretanto, é uma secretauma empresa secreta/um segredo! Tenho que ligar aspara os clientes, investidores, etc. mas, claro, não posso usar o meu escritório regular. Então, sempre que eu tenho que fazer uma ligação, eu vou pro parque do outro lado da rua. Mas tenho um problema.: O vento sopra, as pessoas sem-teto ficam bêbadas e se brigam, e alemalém disso, os pássaros nunca se-calam com o seu papose calam/calam o seu papo. E mais, hoje em dia, o tempo está muito frio. O pior é que os meus clientes acham que eu tenho uma empresa estabelecida, com um escritório normal. "Por quêque seus dentes estão tagarelandobatendo (I think you literally translated "chattering" haha)?" eles perguntam. "E o quêque será aquilo? Pássaros?" "Não senhor," eu digo, "a janela está aberta. Aff! está muito quente aqui! Aí, nós estávamos dizendo . . ."
Tenho que estabelecer essa empresa logo, ou o estressestress (it's common to write it just like the original too) vai me matar . . .Nice text, Robert. I like the sense of humor!
Good luck with your undertaking ;)
