I keep embarrassing my self on those podcasts (but honestly I don’t mind).

Guilherme: Por exemplo: Um amigo chega numa roda de conversa e diz: “E aí galera, tudo bem com vocês?”.

Aí um dos amigos mais descolados diz: “Tá suave, cara…”

Hi guys, how's it going? Today we are going to talk about some hobbies that Brazilians love. We are going to show you how culture and hobbies often get mixed up. Enjoy the episode!

Our main goal with this series is to teach you ways to use Portuguese in the most natural way possible. In every language, there are the right ways to start a conversation, to change the subject, to link what we have to say to someone has just said, to agree and disagree, to answer questions and so on. In this way, you will avoid a lot of problems, such as, for example, sound direct, abrupt and even rude. Above all, you will not be misunderstood.

Join us in this amazing journey of learning Portuguese. Your feedback and comments are always welcome!

Everyone has that friend at school, college or at work who always likes to praise their superiors in order to get some advantage for themselves. Today we’re going to learn about an expression in Portuguese that can be used to explain exactly how this person should be called.

Enjoy it!

Examples we mentioned in the episode:

ENG: He’s just the assistant to the manager, there’s no need to lick his boots.PTBR: Ele é apenas assistente do gerente, não precisa babar o ovo dele.

ENG: She’s such a bootlicker that I don’t take any of her compliments seriously.PTBR: Ela é tão baba ovo que eu não levo nenhum dos elogios dela a sério.

ENG: The kind of office in which people feel they have to bootlick in order to get ahead.PTBR: O tipo de escritório no qual as pessoas sentem que tem que babar ovo para se dar bem.

The literal translation for “baba ovo” can be considered a little bit offensive, so, be careful when using it. In english, it would be: “ass kisser“.
