About the Book

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.
