3 Brazilian Slang Words You Need to Know Video Lecture | Learn and Master: Brazilian - Other languages

well to the vain akia Luciana that
street-smart Brazil every week I
published a slang word or colloquial
expression on our Facebook page in this
lesson I will show you three of these
words and I will give you real life
examples so you can get a feel for how
these words are used keep in mind that
Brazil is a very large country and we
have different slang words in different
parts of the country the words I will
show you here are used all over the
country but some may be more used in
some parts of Brazil than in others the
first word I want to show you is bacana
I'll read it again bacana
it seems to me that every Portuguese
learner quickly learns the world legião
well vicuna is a synonym it means cool
nice good the word bacana remains the
same whether you're talking about a man
or a woman there is no masculine version
of the word
let me show you examples the
translations to all the examples are on
the blog post and the link to the blog
post is in the video description I
encourage you to use the blog post I
also have links to additional resources
there for instance this example I'm
going to show you now talks about movies
and I have a blog post about vocabulary
that you can use to talk about movies
including all the common sentences we
use when we're giving opinions on a
movie okay so let's say this example
Sophia and Leone are going to the movies
and so they are discussing what they're
gonna say and Sophia says 'if you me
will say convey chief you me was they
convey Leone answers of Ages a kiln
overview me Duke lemon Danza figlio
obeying bacana of is a kiln or view me
Duke labelled Mendonca failure at being
back on
on the blog I also have a link for you
to know more about Clement Anza failure
who is a great Brazilian director in
this other example Sofia is saying kha
presenta mo amigo jewel le Omkara mu
into bacana I underlined the word Kara
because in the blog post I have a link
to another lesson where I give you 5
colloquial expressions using the word
Kara so let me read this one again
kirusha presenta Almay amigo Xiao le
ankara muntaba karna great so our second
word of the day is Maliki and the
feminine is Malika I'll read it again
Maliki Malika there are different
meanings for the world one of the
meanings is a kid or a person of young
age but it can also mean a person
without character or integrity
completely different a street kid a
naughty kid or a playful person who
likes to prank friends in the count the
context will tell you who or how the
word is being used when it relates to
age people often use the word Maliki to
refer to someone of a younger age when
compared to themselves even if the
person is not exactly a kid so for
example let's say that Sousa is 60 years
old and Andrei is 30
Josie may refer to Andre as a maliki
just because Andre is very young from
Josie's perspective so keep that in mind
here's the first example
Eduardo is out shopping with his son
Thiago and then he runs into an old
friend Fernando he introduces his son to
his old friend and he says yea ye I
actually have a blog post about this
word I'm gonna link on the blog for this
lesson
yea ye a cuanto tiempo es el normal aqui
Thiago
I read it again yeah he a quanto tempo

friend Andre and she's saying no

now we have the third word of the day no
say no say in English say dad not so no
literally is not saga means blind that's
how we say a dad not as a slang word NOS
ago can mean a problem with no apparent
resolution or solution a very
complicated situation or a person who is
not trustworthy
someone who's irresponsible or someone
who creates many problems
