guantes

July 27th, 2007

Eu: Com licença, será que vocês tem guantes?

Moça da loja: Um… o quê?

Eu: Guantes.

*Moça da lojafica me olhando confusa*

Eu: Sabe, aqueles negócios que cê coloca na mão quando está limpando…

Moça da loja: Será que você está falando de luvas? Como essas aqui?

YES, FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS, IT’S TRUE! YOU CAN TRAVEL ALL OF SOUTH AMERICA SPEAKING NOTHING BUT PORTUNHOL!

    haha… Se bem que nesse caso, parece que o Portunhol não ajudou nada! :)

    transliteration _ this comment will be in the wrong place, but that is where I always seem to be. Gets one in trouble sometimes. Try Russian - Okay…we take sport, move it your brilliant Greek, then flip it to English. Sport. mmmmm….okay, how about instead of a single step, use two, three or even more. Get the best vocab result in one step and then grammar, and diction or whatever else that will lead to a near perfect translation. I only want to know how you find the time? Well, I’m off to get money and I will follow your progress. You are an excellent thinker, keep rounded. Cheers.
