  • OK, so you are driving down the freeway and you see a semi going 70 mph and there is a mobile home being pulled along. Well, yes, I do see why that would seem rather shocking to a Brazilian. Thanks go to Valdo and Michelle for making that observation. Grammar-wise, we are also going to talk about dropping direct object pronouns. Better to drop pronouns than mobile homes from semis!

    Dialog

    Portuguese
    Michelle: Você viu aquele caminhão levando aquela casa inteirinha?
    Valdo: Vi sim. Que coisa, né?
    Michelle: Pois é, a primeira vez que vi tomei um susto. Você compraria aquela casa pra você?
    Valdo: Não, não compraria não. Prefiro a minha casa de concreto no Brasil que está bem presa ao chão. E você transportaria sua casa assim com tudo dentro?
    Michelle: Transportaria sim. Por que? Você não gosta desse sistema não?
    Valdo: Não gosto muito não. Como já te disse, prefiro minha casa bem presa ao chão.

    Spanish
    Michelle: ¿Viste tú aquel camión llevando aquella casa entera?
    Valdo: Sí lo vi. Qué cosa, ¿verdad?
    Michelle: Pues, la primera vez que lo vi, me asusté. ¿Comprarías tú aquella casa?
    Valdo: No, no la compraría. Prefiero que mi casa en Brasil sea de concreto y que esté bien fijada en el suelo. ¿Transportarías tú la casa así con todo adentro?
    Michelle: Sí, la transportaría. ¿Por qué? ¿A ti no te gusta el sistema?
    Valdo: No me gusta mucho. Como ya te dije, prefiero una casa que esté en el suelo.

    English
    Michelle: Did you see that truck carrying that whole house?
    Valdo: I did see it. How weird, huh?
    Michelle: Yeah, the first time that I saw one it surprised me. Would you ever buy that house for you?
    Valdo: No, I wouldn't buy it. I prefer a concrete home in Brazil that is well attached to the ground. And would you transport your house like that with every thing in it?
    Michelle: Yes, I would transport it. Why? Don't you like the system here?
    Valdo: No, I don't like it a lot. As I already told you, I prefer my house to be stuck to the ground.
