  • To be clear, we are referring to gender agreement. Get ready: although gender is 95% the same between Spanish and Portuguese, there are a few words that change. Is it o leite or a leite? O sal or a sal? O origem or a origem? Valdo and Michelle clarify things for us. Culturally, at what age can you buy alcohol in Brazil?

    Dialog

    Portuguese
    Valdo: O leite, o mel e o sal que você pediu para eu comprar já estão aqui.
    Michelle: E o vinho, a cerveja e a água, você não trouxe? E o computador, onde está?
    Valdo: Eta, esqueci da água e do computador. Mas as bebidas alcoólicas não me deixaram trazer porque eu estava sem minha identidade.
    Michelle: Mas como assim? Qual a origem disso?
    Valdo: Pois é, eles fizeram uma análise equivocada do meu rosto. Acharam que eu tinha menos de 21 anos.
    Michelle: Mas isso é um bom sinal, Valdo. Acharam que você era de menor! Mas você sabe que independente da idade você sempre tem que mostrar a identidade para comprar álcool aqui.

    Spanish
    Valdo: La leche, la miel, y la sal que pidió que comprara ya están aquí.
    Michelle: Y el vino, la cerveza y el agua, ¿no los trajiste? Y la computadora, ¿dónde está?
    Valdo: Ay, se me olvidó el agua y la computadora. Pero no permitieron que comprara las bebidas alcohólicas porque no llevaba mi identificación.
    Michelle: ¿Pero como así? ¿Cuál es el origen de eso?
    Valdo: Pues, se equivocaron en el análisis de mi rostro. Pensaron que tenía menos de 21 años.
    Michelle: Pero eso es una buena señal Valdo. Pensaron que eras más joven! Y tú sabes que no importa la edade que tengas, hay que siempre mostrar la identificación para comprar alcohol aquí.

    English
    Valdo: The milk, the honey, and the salt that you asked me to buy are already here.
    Michelle: And the wine, beer, and water, didn't you bring them? And the computer, where is it?
    Valdo: Shoot, I forgot the water and the computer. But they didn't let me buy the alcohol because I didn't have my ID.
    Michelle: What do you mean? What's going on here?
    Valdo: Right, well they missed analyzed things based on my face. They thought I was less than 21 years old.
    Michelle: But that's a good sign Valdo. They thought you were younger! But you know that it doesn't matter how old you are, you always have to show ID to by alcohol here.
