Most politicians make these statements that they're going to lower emissions 60% by 2030," says André, 13. "And we want to believe that. But because of their history, we know that they really can't be very trusted." In this case, though, you may think locals have a point. If you ever drive through a residential neighborhood in Brazil, notice how speed bumps are all over the place and are often poorly marked. Chances are you’ll eventually speed through one and almost hit your head against the ceiling of your car. 11. Dedo-duro Welcome to the colorful and occasionally rambunctious world of European Portuguese slang and those words your Portuguese grandma might gasp at! Whether you’re a language enthusiast, a curious traveller, or just in it for a bit of naughty fun, this guide is your secret handshake into the playful side of European Portuguese.

Dad,” says a Spanish boy to his father, “when I’m grown up I want to be just like you.” “That’s nice, son. Why?” “So I can have a son like me!” Before the 🤡 emoji made things a lot simpler, Portuguese speakers had an awesome expression to let someone know their attempt at a joke was either inappropriate or had merely fallen flat. It’s the delightful engolir um palhaço — or “to swallow a clown” in English. Wit and sarcasm are an essential part of the Portuguese-speaking culture, which is utterly reflected in the funny Portuguese sayings and words I’ve listed above. Only we rarely use it with the literal meaning anymore. This is because if you say this word very fast, it will sound differently, like: Num cagastes tudo! Well, you are probably thinking, but what does that mean? I do not know the word “num” and the verb is also unfamiliar. Well, that is because no one really teaches you this verb, since it is not such a nice one to use. In most languages that derived from or were influenced by Latin, the days of the week were named after ancient deities.The Portuguese are very hard working people despite the considerably lower wages paid in Portugal compared to other European countries. They are proud of their achievements and you can see that in many of their industries. Say the right things and you’ll go far Continuing from the above, we have to go 500 years into the past to find an achievement Portuguese people, as a nation, are proud of. So, yes, we live in the past. Here’s a short anecdote to illustrate:

Don’t go around Portugal being fresh or implying sexual innuendos to people, especially women who you don’t know, as the Portuguese frown on this behaviour. Procurar pelo em ovo, or “to look for hair on an egg”, has roughly the same usage. 3. Nem que a vaca tussa Every language has its own traditional sayings. But if you ever visit Portuguese and start tounderstand our language, you will probably find some of the most typical Portuguese sayings very funny indeed. One of them has shiny bodyhair and smells like cod, the other one is a mammal that lives in the sea. Pá is a commonly used slang word. It’s usually put on the end of a sentence to mean man. It’s easy to remember because it sounds like pal, which in some English-speaking countries is added onto the end of a sentence.Again I am sorry for the bad word there! Caralho is a kind of an insult if you use it with someone else. It literally refers to the male sexual organ but people use it all the time when they are frustrated or irritated with something. Hence, the word pun! Why did the Portuguese football team bring a ladder to the game? Because they heard the match was in the “top” corner! Pronounced as feesh (almost sounding like fish), fixe means cool or nice and it’s a word you’ll commonly hear in European Portuguese (Brazilians use the word “legal” instead). Here are a few thoughts about the jokes in this popular joke book, and a few things I have learned from reading it. I won’t trot out every new word, of course, but I noticed a few patterns and formats that came up again and again, and I thought it was worth noting them down. Being able to tell a good joke in another language is real jedi-level language skill, so I think it’s useful to know what the “rules” are. Piadas Secas and “Dry Humour” Short portugal puns are one of the best ways to have fun with word play in English. The portugal humour may include short referendum jokes also.

This lead to the end of Estado Novo and the 25 th April Revolution, which has as one of their main points of action to decolonize. This led to a hasty decolonization of Portuguese Africa, making many of the countries enter a civil war and to the 1975 invasion of East Timor by Indonesia, to which the subsequent Portuguese governments were vehemently opposed to. If someone tells you that they have little monkeys in their head or that you have them, either one of you is having strange and suspicious thoughts or being insecure and anxious about some situation. Why did the Portuguese tourist bring a pencil to the beach? In case they wanted to draw a line in the sand! You were told to go with the pigs? You were basically asked to go anddie far away. But do not worry! We don’t mean it literally, we say thisa lot between friends when someone is being annoying or upsetting us for some reason. If used in the past tense, it means someone got themselves in big trouble. Portuguese people have a dark sense of humour, don’t you think? In 1526, they did the first transatlantic slave voyage, from the Coast of Africa to Brazil. This set the example for other European powers to do the same on their colonies, soon becoming a generalized thing.

18. A head of dry garlic

Aber Herr Ober, der Kaffee ist ja kalt!”“Gut, dass Sie mir das sagen, mein Herr! Eiskaffee kostet nämlich einen Euro mehr …” 3. The only thing funnier than Germans is German grammar
