Expressions that translate well the lightness with which the Brazilian faces the busy and agitated life
Truth be said that the Brazilian has a unique way of expressing himself. Thus, no matter what everyday situation he is, there is always a ready sentence to relieve the mood, tear out laughs or show humility.
Some of these phrases are so striking that they have become practically a symbol of those who live or have lived on the skin what it is to be literally a “”. Check out some of them that we have separated for you and accept that you have also said any of them one day.
6 phrases that every Brazilian who is “poor root” has already spoken one day
1. “Sorry anything”
This phrase is a classic of humility. Usually we use her at the end of a visit or meeting with a dear person. It is a simple way to say that if something displeased, it was not bad. Even though everything went well, the “sorry” anything goes naturally, it’s like a preventive.
2. “What doesn’t kill, get fat!”
We use it a lot when we will eat something doubtful, fried or “reheated”. So this phrase is the shield of those who face life with good humor and also a lot of hunger, isn’t it? It can be a bakery drumstick, a yesterday’s lasagna or a party snack: if it’s tasty, that’s what’s worth it.
3. “I’m just taking a look”
Classic of those who enter the store without money or just to escape the heat of the mall and tells the saleswoman “can let, I’m just taking a look”. Thus, it is the phrase that most avoids the approach of store attendants and gives a certain freedom to everyone to be able to poke without commitment. “I’m just looking” is almost an invisible shield for those in total economy mode.
4. “Enter, but does not notice the mess”
You will visit a person and suddenly this phrase comes up. Who never, isn’t it?
This is practically a welcome rule in any Brazilian house. Even if everything is clean, the owner already warns. Thus, this phrase is a mixture of education, humility and a touch of insecurity, as if every visit were a kind of inspection of health surveillance at your door.
5. “I paid 5 reais in the thrift store”
Already in this here, the idea is to show that besides having good taste, the person also has scent for bargains and quality pieces well below.
Who is “poor root” is proud to save and even more about telling how much they saved it. Showing the low price label is part of the package.
6. “I’m just waiting for the card to turn”
Finally, this phrase is the portrait of those who live in the bound boundary cycle. It serves to postpone commitments, avoid debt or justifying why you haven’t bought something so far yet. The famous “Card” became a symbol of the financial calendar of millions of Brazilians.
