Book Description
Imagine this: You're at a beach in Rio, sipping on your água de coco, when someone calls you "brother," even though you're pretty sure you're not related. Later, you're at a samba party and hear someone describe a song as "muito massa." Then, during a football game, your new friend starts screaming at the referee, calling him a "cabeça de bagre," and you're just standing there, nodding politely, with no clue what kind of fish he's talking about. This is where the Brazilian Slang Dictionary comes in. We're here to decode the lingo that makes Brazilian Portuguese so wonderfully unique and sometimes hilariously confusing. From the common "e aí, beleza?" (which has nothing to do with beauty) to the more obscure "tá de sacanagem!" (hint: someone's definitely joking around), we've compiled the most essential, quirky, and downright fun expressions you'll need to navigate any conversation with ease. In this book, you'll learn not just the meanings of these expressions, but also when, where, and how to use them without sounding like a gringo who's trying too hard. We'll guide you through the labyrinth of Brazilian humor, give you the lowdown on local curses (because let's face it, you need to know when someone's cursing you out), and introduce you to the kind of playful banter that Brazilians love. Features: Extensive Collection: Over 500 entries of the most commonly used Brazilian slang words and phrases, covering the entire alphabet from A to Z. Detailed Explanations: Each slang term comes with a clear English explanation to help you understand its meaning and context. Practical Examples: Real-life example sentences show you how each slang word is used in everyday conversation, enhancing your ability to speak and understand Portuguese. User-Friendly Format: Easy-to-navigate entries with cross-references make it simple to find the slang you need quickly. Who Is This Book For?: Students: Improve your Portuguese comprehension and add flair to your language skills with contemporary expressions. Travelers: Blend in with locals and make your travel experiences more authentic by speaking like a native. Professionals: Enhance your communication skills in informal settings. Language Enthusiasts: Deepen your love for Brazil by exploring the playful and ever-evolving world of its slang.

Book Description
A CHOICE of familiar dialogues, clean of gallicisms, and despoiled phrases, it was missing yet to studious Portuguese and brazilian Youth; and also to persons of others nations, that wish to know the Portuguese language. We sought all we may do, to correct that want, composing and divising the present little work in two parts. The first includes a greatest vocabulary proper names by alphabetical order; and the second forty three Dialogues adapted to the usual precisions of the life. For that reason we did put, with a scrupulous exactness, a great variety own expressions to english and Portuguese idioms; without to attach us selves (as make some others) almost at a literal translation; translation what only will be for to accustom the Portuguese pupils, or-foreign, to speak very bad any of the mentioned idioms. We were increasing this second edition with a phraseology, in the first part, and some familiar letters, anecdotes, idiotisms, proverbs, and to second a coin's index. The Works which we were confering for this labour, fond use us for nothing; but those what were publishing to Portugal, or out, they were almost all composed for some foreign, or for some national little acquainted in the spirit of both languages. It was resulting from that carelessness to rest these Works fill of imperfections, and anomalies of style; in spite of the infinite typographical faults which some times, invert the sense of the periods. It increase not to contain any of those Works the figured pronunciation of the english words, nor the prosodical accent in the Portuguese; indispensable object whom wish to speak the english and Portuguese languages correctly. We expect then, who the little book (for the care what we wrote him, and for her typographical correction) that may be worth the acceptation of the studious persons, and especially of the Youth, at which we dedicate him particularly.
