  • Who would have ever guessed that Valdo and Michelle think that jeans and flip flops make a strange combination? Looks like we've just seen one more thing that makes Americans stand out. Note that this picture has got three Brazilians trying to dress like North Americans! Oh yes, and grammar-wise, we're talking about possessive pronouns. You might say, OUR comments to YOUR lesson.

    Dialog

    Portuguese
    Michelle: Valdo, olha pra aquela menina ... veja a bolsa dela!
    Valdo: O que é que tem a bolsa dela? É parecida com a sua bolsa.
    Michelle: Você sabe, no Brasil a gente nunca usaria uma bolsa de paetê como a dela durante o dia.
    Valdo: É verdade! Olha a calça dele ... jeans com chinelo!
    Michelle: Eh, por aí a gente percebe a diferença entre a roupa deles e a nossa.
    Valdo: Mas esse é o nosso conceito, como brasileiros, sobre a roupa deles. Será que aos olhos deles as suas roupas também não são um pouco bregas?

    Spanish
    Michelle: Valdo, mira aquella chica ... mira su bolsa.
    Valdo: ¿Cuál es el problema con su bolsa? Se parece a tu bolsa.
    Michelle: Tú sabes, en el Brasil nunca usaríamos una bolsa de lentejuelas como la de ella durante el día.
    Valdo: Es verdad! Mira sus pantalones ... vaqueros con chinelas!
    Michelle: Por aquí te das cuenta de la diferencia entre su ropa y la nuestra.
    Valdo: Pero esa es nuestra idea, como brasileños, sobre su ropa. ¿Será que para ellos la ropa tuya sería un poco rara también?

    English
    Michelle: Valdo, look at that girl ... look at her purse!
    Valdo: What wrong with her purse? I looks like your purse.
    Michelle: You know, in Brazil we'd never use a sequined purse like she's got during the daytime.
    Valdo: You're right! And look at her pants ... jeans with flip flops!
    Michelle: Yea, around here you notice the difference between their clothing and ours.
    Valdo: But that is our idea, as Brazilians, about their clothes. Don't you think that in from their perspective your clothes might seem a little tacky too?
