Easy Slang words in Brazilian Portuguese (from a native speaker)!!

[@stayingfitandfocused]

Dropped all my spanish classes and been focused on portugese. Such a beautiful language, the people are so sweet and the culture has so many things to learn

[@Brazilian.Maithe]

Aw welcome to the family then! I hope you can learn a lot here. It’s going to be easier if you already have a nice background in Spanish. I am the one learning Spanish now and it’s messing up with my English lol

[@Brazilian.Maithe]

Obrigada pelo comentário, Thais. Realmente, o seu comentário me fez parar pra pensar e acho que também não vejo muitos brasileiros por aí ensinando Português para estrangeiros! Eu amo disseminar nossa língua e cultura mundo afora!

[@Bdawgy55]

I love the brazilian-Portuguese/UK-english accent mix!! I could listen to it all day

[@Brazilian.Maithe]

Hahaha thank you so much! Although I must admit that I completely lost my British accent now that I’ve been living in NYC

[@danielcobia7818]

All excellent basic colloquialisms that I remember Brazilians used all the time when I lived there 20 years ago. "E ai cara. como 'ta!?" "Tudo na joia" One phrase that's also stuck with me is "Mão de vaca"

[@johnhunt386]

I liked this video and found it really interesting. I have heard a lot of these words before but you included some other contexts that is super useful. Your English is fantastic and you can tell that you learned it in the UK because your accent sounds so British. One thing to know that slang is always singular. We don't say "slangs".

[@AyourQ]

Since I move to Brazil with my husband last year; I was asked if I knew any slangs! I didn't, but I do. Thank you ~ bonita

[@patfromamboy]

I like your British accent

[@patfromamboy]

I’ve been studying Portuguese for 9 years now and I’ve visited Brasil 18 times but I still can’t read or converse yet and I have to translate everything into English to understand. It’s terrible because I haven’t had a conversation yet and can’t understand my girlfriend even though we’ve been practicing every day for 6 years now.

[@EricT3769]

@@patfromamboy And then there are people who can converse after less than a year. I can read some basic sentences and translate. I can understand all the material I’ve studied so far, but my problem is I don’t have anyone to practice with. I’ve given up a few times because of various reasons (hurricanes, Covid, life), but keep trying. I may be like you and never be able to gain fluency, but I think I can get to a point of being able to do basic things like order food at a restaurant or some basic travel knowledge. One of my “role models” is Gavin Roy. He learned Portuguese because he went to the World Cup when it was in Brazil. A Brazilian talk show had him on and he held a conversation in Portuguese. He started teaching Brazilians English. So jealous of his ability.

[@patfromamboy]

@@EricT3769 I started a month after the World Cup in August 2014 in Brasil but I still haven’t had a conversation yet. It’s frustrating. My son can converse and he’s never studied Portuguese. I can’t translate fast enough or understand what I hear and remember it while translating. It seems like many people can understand Portuguese words when they hear them without translating. Thanks

[@OneWithTheAllinAll]

Im going to Salvador in a few weeks and am so excited! I know Brazil is a massive country and the dialects are different in many places. Would these slang words be understood in Salvador/ Bahia as well?

[@tentativabritanica1040]

I can see you been to the U.K from the way you say together and tomorrow it more of British accent than from the US, Eu falo um pouco de portugues por que tenho uma namorada Brasileira. Eu sou Britanico!

E ai! Thanks Maithe for a great lesson 😊 I really enjoyed learning from you. I liked the pace of your video and the examples. I've just finished watching The Circle Brazil on Netflix and fell in love with the language/accent. Have you watched it? I noticed they said 'cara' a lot actually! I'm in Australia and today we came out of a hard lockdown which lasted almost 4 months. Yayyyy. How's things for you?

[@Brazilian.Maithe]

Hi Ellissa! Thanks again for your comment, I love hearing back from people that watch my videos. I still haven't watched the circle Brazil but now I feel like it haha I'm happy to know that you fancy learning a bit of Portuguese, I hope my videos are helping you out. I've always wanted to visit Australia, it's on my bucket list! I spent a long time quarantined in Brazil at my parents farm (where I recorded this video), but I got a job in New Yor City and I'm living here since April. Life here is pretty much back to normal as most people are vaccinated and all bars/restaurants are very strict and only let vaccinated people in! I hope you're enjoying having your "freedom" back. I've heard Australia did an awesome job containing the spread of covid, well done you guys!

Does this slang work for all of Brazil or only certain parts?

[@Brazilian.Maithe]

I guess the slang words I used here would be understood throughout Brazil. Some of them might be used more often in some areas compared to others though. I am from the state of Rio de Janeiro and even friends from other states would understand and even use these in my experience!

What does poja mean

[@Brazilian.Maithe]

Do you mean “poxa”?

[@migueladrianvalevelazquez8703]

Yes what does poxa mean😊

[@migueladrianvalevelazquez8703]

Or porra

[@MoaresOliveira]

@@migueladrianvalevelazquez8703 I'm brazilian and I don't think that "poxa" have a literal translation, but is commonly used to express frustation, disappointment, annoyance or surprise, like: Poxa cara, não esperava isso de você. (disappointment); Poxa, que noticia maravilhosa! (surprise); Nada dá certo, poxa vida (poxa vida is used a lot to express frustation)

[@MoaresOliveira]

@@migueladrianvalevelazquez8703 "porra" is translated to "cum", can be used in a very informal conversation about sex. And can be used to express anger or surprise/annoyance in other contexts (in a very few cases can be used as a good thing, but is a bit hard to explain, so I'll ignore), and in all contexts is considered a swearing, in some cases are used like the f-word, but isn't the translation . Examples: Que porra é essa? (It's like 'What fuck is this?"); Me deixa quieto, porra! (annoyance); Esse lugar é chato pra porra (It's like "This place is boring as fuck")

[@OlJohnJoe]

I’m not trying to be vulgar but do you have any slang words or phrases for couples? Maybe for intimacy/flirtation?

[@BolognaBolognaBologna]

Ta’ bom 🤙🏾

[@Brazilian.Maithe]

Tá bom!!! 😎😎😎

[@Van_Wilder]

Can I use “valeu cara” when speaking to a female

[@gaybrielramos]

Well.. "Cara" means something like "dude" you know? So I think that you would rather use just "valeu" than using both words when thanking a woman! Hope that helps!! ☺️

[@gaybrielramos]

Although sometimes we say "cara" when speaking to a woman, it's more of a exclamation, like "cara?!!" Like affirming or being shocked by something. e.g: "Cara, você não vai acreditar!!!" (You are not going to believe this!!!!), here the word "cara" is more of a supportive word for an exclamation that could or could not be used, saying just "Você não vai acreditar!!" Is also valid! 😅 If that isn't clear yet, just send me a message in this comment section, so I can try to explain it in a more specific way ☺️

[@Van_Wilder]

The ones I hear the most are Cara and Rapiz.

[@MoaresOliveira]

Rapaz and Moço is like "young men" , commonly used to refer to a young adult (male) or someone younger. Is an informal way. But Moço is also used to talk with a stranger (thats is not elderly), example: There is a man selling popsicles (or whatever), and you want to know how much it is, so you can approach and ask: "Moço, quanto custa o picolé?". FYI: "Moça" is the female version of Rapaz and Moço. The pronunciation of Moça is like "mossa"
