With or without an accent, Brasilia has a lot to say
It may have been born in another corner, but if you use certain expressions naturally, it is practically considered “root” in the Federal District.
Brasilia, besides being the political heart of the country, has its own vocabulary, shaped by its geographical, cultural and even musical peculiarities.
These are words and slangs that deliver it in the face who grew up on the courts, walked in a “camel” by the axles and got used to the dry climate and the infinite acronyms.
Unlike other capitals, Brasilia has a very unique way to communicate. This is because, over the years, the city has become a cultural cauldron, bringing together people from all over the country, which helped create a rich informal language, with unique traits and an almost neutral accent.
But among so many accents and accents, certain expressions are undoubtedly the face of Brazil.
6 Expressions that denounce that you are really from Brasilia
1.
The most emblematic may be the “Véi”.
Short, straightforward and incredibly versatile, she can serve to express surprise (“See, you see that?”), Call someone (“ô Véi!”) Or even pull subject.
It is the Candango equivalent of “bro” or “animal”, and you will hardly spend a day without hearing this loose word in the air.
2. Camel
If you have already moved in camel, then there is no doubt: real Brasiliense.
This nickname to bicycle was eternalized in the song “Eduardo e Monica”, by the band Legião Urbana, one of the biggest cultural proud of the DF. It is an affective slang that carries memory, youth and freedom.
3. Treasury
Another one that could not miss is the “scissors”.
For those who do not know the peculiar traffic of the capital, the term may sound strange.
But the Brazilians know that it is those “U” viaducts that connect the W and L axes to Eixão. It’s the kind of place that, if you miss the entrance, gives half an hour back.
4. Only gold
When something is very good, of high quality, Brazilians do not save: it is “only gold”.
It can be food, a party, or even that late afternoon roll in the pontoon.
5. The mornings
Already when it beats that laziness or when the body asks for rest, the verb of the time is “to die”.
Simple as that. Moring is the act of doing nothing, lying down and letting time pass, almost a philosophy of life for weekends without commitment.
6. Popsicle tip
And finally, if you know (or live in) any “popsicle tip”, then you have no doubt: you are local.
These are the ends of Lake Paranoá, so called by the shape of the lake on the map, which resembles a melted popsicle.
