- Boa noite, everybody!
How are you all doing?
I am okay, hanging in here, following the quarantine rules and keeping myself busy! Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about y'all! I hope you guys are making the most outta your free time and are subscribing now to my channel to learn Brazilian Portuguese with me! You won't regret, trust me!!
Here's another video made with all my love just for you guys, where I teach you some slang words in Brazilian Portuguese. We call these GÍRIAS!
Sit down in a comfy chair, get ready and press play!
If you have any questions just write on the comments below or find me on instagram @maithermb :)
Me dá um like aaaaaaaand se inscreve no canal (if you don't know what these sentences mean, go to my page and watch my first video!)
Stay home guys and let's hope this coronavirus pandemic ends soon!
Dropped all my spanish classes and been focused on portugese. Such a beautiful language, the people are so sweet and the culture has so many things to learn
Aw welcome to the family then! I hope you can learn a lot here. It’s going to be easier if you already have a nice background in Spanish. I am the one learning Spanish now and it’s messing up with my English lol
Eu vejo muitos brasileiros ensinando ingles , agora professores brasileiros ensinando o português para estrangeiros , simplesmente maravilhoso, amei
Obrigada pelo comentário, Thais. Realmente, o seu comentário me fez parar pra pensar e acho que também não vejo muitos brasileiros por aí ensinando Português para estrangeiros! Eu amo disseminar nossa língua e cultura mundo afora!
I love the brazilian-Portuguese/UK-english accent mix!! I could listen to it all day
Hahaha thank you so much! Although I must admit that I completely lost my British accent now that I’ve been living in NYC
I liked this video and found it really interesting. I have heard a lot of these words before but you included some other contexts that is super useful. Your English is fantastic and you can tell that you learned it in the UK because your accent sounds so British. One thing to know that slang is always singular. We don't say "slangs".
Muito bom! Parabéns, seu inglês é excelente.
Aw, muito obrigada pelo comentário e por ter tirado um tempinho pra ver o vídeo! Vou lá no seu canal dar uma olhada também! 🥰
Thanks for this video, every once in while we have people who work for my company from Rio, and I’d love to try and make the ones that have a harder time with English feel more welcome the next time they visit!
Muito obrigada pra vocé. Perfeita profesora. Eu estou tentando conhecer mais Portuguese. Eu falo Español e falo Ingles mas sin embargo eu acho no Portuguese muito interesante. A primera palavra eu oví foi coraçaon. E eu amei.
Obrigada.
Brasil é maravilloso. Um dia eu estou indo para seu pais.
Since I move to Brazil with my husband last year; I was asked if I knew any slangs! I didn't, but I do. Thank you ~ bonita
Obrigado para este vídeo. Estou tentando aprender português brasileiro sozinho. É muito difícil, mas falo um pouco de português. Um dia, quero viajar ao Brasil, mas quero falar muito bem português antes.
These words will definitely help me sound more Brazilian. Kkkk. 😊
Muito obrigada pelo comentário, Eric. Espero muito que o vídeo tenha ajudado. O seu português parece ser muito bom, parabéns! Se quiser me segue no insta, eu posto coisas diariamente lá @prof.maithe
And let me know if you want to request a video or need help with anything in particular :)
I like your British accent
I’ve been studying Portuguese for 9 years now and I’ve visited Brasil 18 times but I still can’t read or converse yet and I have to translate everything into English to understand. It’s terrible because I haven’t had a conversation yet and can’t understand my girlfriend even though we’ve been practicing every day for 6 years now.
@@patfromamboy And then there are people who can converse after less than a year. I can read some basic sentences and translate. I can understand all the material I’ve studied so far, but my problem is I don’t have anyone to practice with. I’ve given up a few times because of various reasons (hurricanes, Covid, life), but keep trying. I may be like you and never be able to gain fluency, but I think I can get to a point of being able to do basic things like order food at a restaurant or some basic travel knowledge.
One of my “role models” is Gavin Roy. He learned Portuguese because he went to the World Cup when it was in Brazil. A Brazilian talk show had him on and he held a conversation in Portuguese. He started teaching Brazilians English. So jealous of his ability.
@@EricT3769 I started a month after the World Cup in August 2014 in Brasil but I still haven’t had a conversation yet. It’s frustrating. My son can converse and he’s never studied Portuguese. I can’t translate fast enough or understand what I hear and remember it while translating. It seems like many people can understand Portuguese words when they hear them without translating. Thanks
Thank you! I’m trying to learn Brazilian Portuguese. Very useful
Thanks a lot for leaving a comment, David! And I'm so glad this video was helpful. I'm uploading videos more often now, I hope you enjoy watching them!
All excellent basic colloquialisms that I remember Brazilians used all the time when I lived there 20 years ago.
"E ai cara. como 'ta!?"
"Tudo na joia"
One phrase that's also stuck with me is "Mão de vaca"
I can see you been to the U.K from the way you say together and tomorrow it more of British accent than from the US, Eu falo um pouco de portugues por que tenho uma namorada Brasileira. Eu sou Britanico!
Slang in English is never pluralized. It is always just slang, no matter how much of it there is. "I use a lot of slang", "there are tons of slang words" "slangs" doesn't exist.
Mais isso nao importa. As a native English, no one will care
@@dantewordlaw8677 Could you rephrase that?
@@dantewordlaw8677I care. I don’t like it when people make mistakes in English. It irritates me.
@@patfromamboy go to therapy then
E esa e a racao Brasil e como e & Nao avanca!😅
Great lesson
I will be using these at some point. Thank you for this very helpful video.
You’re very welcome and thank you so much for your comment! 🙏🏼
Voce e' tudo um amor.
1- Você é um amor
2- você é adorável
That means: you're lovely/adorable
Perfeito!
Muito obrigada! 🥰
Thank you for the video!
Keep up the content 👍
I would like to learn more about Paulista sotaque and gírias.
Obrigado por portugues lesson. I need it so much
I am glad I found your channel, I am doing a marathon right now, very useful. Keep doing what you are doing, and you will get 10k soon. And beyond, boa sorte.
Thanks a lot for you comment David, it means a lot to me! I’m glad my videos are helping you! I’ve been trying my best to record as much as possible but my full time job takes the best of me haha I’ll keep on trying and pushing! comments like yours give me the motivation I need to keep on going! :)
great! Really needed in language studies!
Kkkkkkkkk amei o vídeo!! Você é da onde no Rico :D não esquece a palavra “parada”!!! Kkkkkkkk
Ótimo! Brigado por este vídeo :)
I really enjoyed this. Cool video and your explanations are very clear on how these words are used.
I’m learning Portuguese and doing well, words like these are exactly what I needed to spice it up a bit.
Cheers. Looking forward to more videos and more slang hopefully.
Mark
Mark, thanks for ya comment. It's lovely to know you're enjoying the videos! I'll prepare another video about slang words in the near future and I hope it helps you even more 🤞😎
I love the video already!!!
I'm so glad to read that! Thank you!!!
Thank you!!
Keep up the good work. Thanks a lot for your efforts
Thank you!!
Valeu Maithe, Este vídeo foi ótimo 👍🏾. Você tem um mais escrito 🙌🏾. I am looking forward to more like this.
"Você tem um mais escrito?"
E ai! Thanks Maithe for a great lesson 😊 I really enjoyed learning from you. I liked the pace of your video and the examples. I've just finished watching The Circle Brazil on Netflix and fell in love with the language/accent. Have you watched it? I noticed they said 'cara' a lot actually! I'm in Australia and today we came out of a hard lockdown which lasted almost 4 months. Yayyyy. How's things for you?
Hi Ellissa! Thanks again for your comment, I love hearing back from people that watch my videos. I still haven't watched the circle Brazil but now I feel like it haha I'm happy to know that you fancy learning a bit of Portuguese, I hope my videos are helping you out.
I've always wanted to visit Australia, it's on my bucket list! I spent a long time quarantined in Brazil at my parents farm (where I recorded this video), but I got a job in New Yor City and I'm living here since April. Life here is pretty much back to normal as most people are vaccinated and all bars/restaurants are very strict and only let vaccinated people in! I hope you're enjoying having your "freedom" back. I've heard Australia did an awesome job containing the spread of covid, well done you guys!
Are you still teaching @@Brazilian.Maithe
thank you for this!! i'm trying to learn portuguese and there isnt so much content here and specially of slang words and that stuff, or at least i dont find it
I want a new video about Brazilian Portuguese slangs and some phrases again please 💜 there are a lot of slang words that you didn't say yet :)
Im here practice my listening with you ,🇧🇷❤
Awesome! Happy to have you here 😌🇧🇷
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Very interesting
Tô aprendendo para alguns tempo mas não é fluente ainda. Acho que o que mais difícil para mim está quando os Brasileiros estão falando bem rápido e curta as palavras! Mas enquanto obrigado pela aulazinha!
O seu português nesse comentário está ótimo! Seja bem vindo ao canal! Espero que consiga aprender muito por aqui 🎉🤩
Muito bom.
Obrigada querida!
Love this. It's important to learn the basics of a language but slang is a great way to enjoy the FUN of learning a language. Makes you feel like you're cheating a bit, in a good way, um jetinho!
"O jeitinho brasileiro" hahaha
Muito bom video
Muito obrigada, Tom!
My husband says Cara is like "Dude" in English. What do you guys think?
It’s correct, Kristen! It can mean “man”, “dude”, “bloke”…
This lesson was muito bem. Eu aprendi muito
Fico muito feliz em saber!
Im going to Salvador in a few weeks and am so excited! I know Brazil is a massive country and the dialects are different in many places. Would these slang words be understood in Salvador/ Bahia as well?
How long have you/did you live in the uk? Your English and accent is spot on.
Bele pelo vídeo.
Valeu!!!!
Obrigado
Obrigada você por assistir, Dan! Thank you for watching!!
Hi, when someone asks how you are and you reply Joia, do you thank them after or is it acceptable to just say Joia? I enjoy your vids and you seem lovely by the way. Obrigada
Ta’ bom 🤙🏾
Tá bom!!! 😎😎😎
Muito bom o video, engraçado pensar como em 3 anos as girias mudaram tanto...
Valeu virou Tamo junto
E Ai virou Qual é "coé"
Ta bom virou Fechou
Beleza virou é nois
Cara virou menor, maluco, """"c#z@o""""
Gata/Gato virou novinha
...
Claro que ainda existem casos onde essas expressões ainda são usadas, mas elas meio que não são mais "girias" porque se tornaram padrão da lingua.
cara teu sotaque britanico é muito gostoso, da até tesão de ouvir (com todo respeito) kkk
Hahahaha obrigada, Marbas! Ainda bem que você colocou com todo o respeito entre parêntesis, muda o contexto e me ajuda a interpretar seu comentário haha e olha vou te contar que como agora eu moro nos Estados Unidos eu perdi totalmente meu sotaque britânico 🥹
como posso entrar em contato com você para um em um ensinamentos
I really like this lesson. Thanks. Really good on explanations in meanings and clear pronunciations that I can easily to follow. But, I can't find your IG.
Do you change the IG name?
Hello! Thanks for you comment! I’m actually not using my ig to teach portuguese anymore as I don’t have the time. You can follow my personal one as I always post stuff both in English and in portuguese! It’s @maithex
And also I’m bringing back this channel alive so you’ll see a bunch o new vids here 🥰
If you call gato/gato to someone in Mexican Spanish is a very bad thing hehe
Que significa en espanol de Maxico?( soy griega y el espanol suramericano me gusta muchisimo)
@@user-oj6ix6qc7q means cat...but in Mexico to call a human gato, is offensive
@@justpassingby6106 oh!muchas gracias! Pero quale es ese significado ofensivo?
@@user-oj6ix6qc7q A alguien tipo low class, sin educación, sin modales....
@@justpassingby6106 muchas gracias,amigo 💙💜( despues de 6 meses😍)
What Brazilian shows do you suggest?
bom dia verônica 🙃
Thanks for your comment, Frank! That's a good question. I will record a quick video about it so more people can benefit from it! I hope you like it!
What does e noise mean
You can tell Her English was learned in the UK aka Britain
Indeed!! 😌
I'm Brazilian. I can help you
But I writer mor ou less inglihs. I need learn inglihs of corse. THE word "beleza" ITS New gíria popular.... Last years
I’m not trying to be vulgar but do you have any slang words or phrases for couples? Maybe for intimacy/flirtation?
Valeu!
Love the vibe
Cheers!!
Does this slang work for all of Brazil or only certain parts?
I guess the slang words I used here would be understood throughout Brazil. Some of them might be used more often in some areas compared to others though. I am from the state of Rio de Janeiro and even friends from other states would understand and even use these in my experience!
uma gata ;D
kkkkk
Hahahaa obrigada!
Eu diria apenas a palavra "slang" e não "slang words"...
I'm going to teach you some slang!😊
That’s a good tip. Thank you ☺️
e aí
tá bom / tá
beleza / bele
cara
foi mal
valeu (+cara)
jóia
gato / gata

*PLEASE TELL ME WHY DO PORTUGUESE PEOPLE ALWAYS SAY ... AND USED TO SAY ORA POIS POIS AND OPPAAAA !! DO YOU KNOW ? THANKS *
What does poja mean
Do you mean “poxa”?
Yes what does poxa mean😊
Or porra
@@migueladrianvalevelazquez8703 I'm brazilian and I don't think that "poxa" have a literal translation, but is commonly used to express frustation, disappointment, annoyance or surprise, like: Poxa cara, não esperava isso de você. (disappointment); Poxa, que noticia maravilhosa! (surprise); Nada dá certo, poxa vida (poxa vida is used a lot to express frustation)
@@migueladrianvalevelazquez8703 "porra" is translated to "cum", can be used in a very informal conversation about sex. And can be used to express anger or surprise/annoyance in other contexts (in a very few cases can be used as a good thing, but is a bit hard to explain, so I'll ignore), and in all contexts is considered a swearing, in some cases are used like the f-word, but isn't the translation . Examples: Que porra é essa? (It's like 'What fuck is this?"); Me deixa quieto, porra! (annoyance); Esse lugar é chato pra porra (It's like "This place is boring as fuck")
The ones I hear the most are Cara and Rapiz.
Rapaz and Moço is like "young men" , commonly used to refer to a young adult (male) or someone younger. Is an informal way. But Moço is also used to talk with a stranger (thats is not elderly), example: There is a man selling popsicles (or whatever), and you want to know how much it is, so you can approach and ask: "Moço, quanto custa o picolé?". FYI: "Moça" is the female version of Rapaz and Moço. The pronunciation of Moça is like "mossa"
@@MoaresOliveira obrigado
Are you still teaching Brazilian Portuguese?
Hey Tony! I am back to posting videos here and I also teach Portuguese on my instagram. Unfortunately I am offering private lessons at the moment.
Can I use “valeu cara” when speaking to a female
Well.. "Cara" means something like "dude" you know? So I think that you would rather use just "valeu" than using both words when thanking a woman! Hope that helps!! ☺️
Although sometimes we say "cara" when speaking to a woman, it's more of a exclamation, like "cara?!!" Like affirming or being shocked by something.
e.g: "Cara, você não vai acreditar!!!" (You are not going to believe this!!!!), here the word "cara" is more of a supportive word for an exclamation that could or could not be used, saying just "Você não vai acreditar!!" Is also valid! 😅 If that isn't clear yet, just send me a message in this comment section, so I can try to explain it in a more specific way ☺️
@@gaybrielramos made perfect sense, valeu 👍🏻
@@Van_Wilder yayyy no problem!!! 💘
@@Van_Wilder but just to clear things way more, we sometimes use "cara" when speaking to anybody, boys, girls heheh :)
You speak 🗣️ English like an English girl!
It sounds like a mix of American and British English
Yeah I used to have a British accent as I lived in the UK lol now I have such an American accent
Explain Sacanagem, eita, disneylandia, ranco, biscoitera, partiu
These are amazing suggestions, thank you! I will surely record videos about them!
It sounds like she learned English from Brits.
Tá bom = “Aight” in 🇺🇸
A1
in English cats just mean people.
Ur IG is different now?
Oh yeah it is! You can fine me there as Brazilian.maithe 🙏🏼🎉
Gato has its roots in arabic .. we say ketta meaning " cat " .. greetings from egypt 👍
That's so interesting to know Yehia, thanks for sharing! It's so cool that you're from Egypt, I've always wanted to visit!
Brazilian+ a tad of British accent. That's cute... and I personally think British is annoying lol. But Brazilians makes everything better 😍
I’ve never used any of these even though I’ve been studying Portuguese for 9 years now and I’ve visited Brasil 18 times. I practice every day with my girlfriend who only speaks Portuguese and we’ve been practicing for 6 years now. My ex girlfriend spoke Portuguese and lives in Brasil. She spoke English with me because I couldn’t understand Portuguese. It’s very frustrating. I can’t read or converse yet.
I think she is a lot younger than you which could be a factor
@@poesia-com-cafeina she isn’t.
@@patfromamboy I'm talking about the CZcamsr. Just looking at your face and her face, there seems to be a large generational gap.
@@poesia-com-cafeina not true and terrible logic. Thanks
Are you a gata? Hehe
Excellent video. But please stop asking “ what’s up?” Unless you are talking to a person live.
This is a problem with the English language. To ask a question to someone who can’t answer back.
@@ll1881ll What are you talking about? Many English CZcamsrs begin their video with "What's up, guys?"
@@POLSKAdoBOJU yes this is a very common language problem. Asking a question in a NON live situation is unintelligent. Instead use a greeting such as : hello, welcome to my video, thanks for your viewing etc
@@ll1881ll It's really not a problem at all.. You don't get to decide how other natives use their native language. Beginning sentencee with a small letter - now that's a problem!
@@POLSKAdoBOJU you are correct, I don’t get to decide these things . Please refer to my original REQUEST, which is not the same same thing as an ORDER
Bad english, omg
I think you mean “bad English”, right 😛😂
Not you roasting on her for no reason?? Her english is awesome! Also, the important thing to a language is not speaking everything perfectly, it's to be able to speak, and someone understand you, *THE COMMUNICATION* is the important thing, not the accent or some other superficial thing.
This is fake portuguese.
