Só para englês ver - We were told by a Portuguese professor of history that this expression originated on portuguese ships when they sighted an English navy ship. Any slaves on deck would be rushed out of sight below decks. Trading in slaves had become illegal in Britton and the navy had a duty to free any slaves they found.
Wowee! I've just saw your clip for The Journey program, it really looks fantastic and a fun way to learn!!!!! Also congratulations on your number of subscribers, I'm sure you will continue to have more subscribers with all these great videos that help us a lot! ☺️ A minha expressão favorita é provavelmente "Não ter pés nem cabeça" , em francês, temos uma expressão quase semelhante mas usamos a palavra "cauda" em vez de "pés".
This is a great video. I am just starting to learn Portuguese. Please spend a bit more time focusing on correct pronunciation. It's the most difficult part of learning the Portuguese language. Thank you
For pronunciation please watch our videos on the Alphabet, tricky sounds and listen to our podcasts. You can find all 50 on our website: portuguesewithcarla.com/podcasts/ but you can watch and onwards on RUclips if you prefer: ruclips.net/p/PL14iWyw1DOrHzJKgVHtIQXuss2KyFbga7
@portuguesewithcarla One can listen to the alphabet... but still, say the Portuguese expression slowly and then say it the normal spoken way. This is not a criticism! It's just that Portuguese is quite difficult and one really has to get one's head around the pronunciation. Keep up your fabulous work.
Olá! I would like to ask an unrelated question, and it's about the past participle agreement. In French, using the auxiliary verb _avoir_ (to have) to form past particles sometimes requires agreement between the (direct) object and the verb. Using the verb *voir* (to see) in its past participle form *vu* (seen), here's what I mean: 1. J'ai *vu* l'homme. (I saw the man) 2. J'ai *vu* la femme. (I saw the woman) 3. Je l'ai *vu.* (I saw him, the man) 4. Je l'ai *vue.* (I saw her, the woman) 5. Je les ai *vus.* (I saw them, the men) 6. Je les ai *vues.* (I saw them, the women) Does this also exist in Portuguese? When the direct object comes before the auxiliary 'to have' (if it ever does), does the past participle have to change accordingly depending on both number and gender as it does in French?
Olá 👋🏽 The quick answer to your question is, no it doesn’t change. If “ter” (to have) is the auxiliary for a past participle, then the participle never changes regardless: Não o tenho visto Não a tenho visto Não os tenho visto Não as tenho visto As you see in the examples above, the direct object can come before the participle with certain triggers. However, the participles have to agree in gender and number when they work as adjectives. This happens when the auxiliary is “ser” “estar” “ficar” “andar”.. Hope this answers your question 🙂
Carla, how do you translate this idiom into English " Ser 5 estrelas"? A carla é 5 estrelas. Yeah, to be born with a silver spoon. Só para inglês ver- desconheço essa expressão idiomática. Fingir ser alguém que não és- Ah ok. Fazer com uma perna às costas - Isso é canja. Outra expressão - Andar às aranhas- Andar à toa- Ser incapaz de resolver os obstáculos ou dificuldades. Tu falas, falas, e não resolves o assunto, andas aí detrás para frente. "Trocar por miudos" Guys, I am learning my native language. I didn't know this one. Já vão duas expressões idiomáticas que desconhecia. Vai lavar a louca, vai plantar batatas, vai pentear macacos- Vai a m** 11- Estou-me nas tintas, estou-me a borrifar para o que ele diga. A minha avó costumava a dizer" Esse assunto não me tira o sono, o que tu digas não me tira o sono" Estar com uma cadela- Desconhecia esta- Sinónimo- Estar com uma bebedeira. A minha avó dizia-me - Zé, aquela rapariga não é flor que se cheire, esquece-a. Bicho de sete cabeças- Algo que exige ou requer esforço mental- Algo que é muito complexo, difícil. Outra expressão parecida" Parar de bater na mesma tecla". Ir com os porcos- This idiom is also new to me.
🙂 Many say “you’re a star” or “she’s a star” so I’d say that’s the equivalent for “ser 5 estrelas”. I guess you could also say, “you’re topnotch” or “you’re first class”.
I wouldn't say number 3 "Muitos anos a virar frangos" when someone is trying to teach what one already knows. I would say "Ensinar a Missa ao padre" (Teach the Mass to the priest). I would say the former when someone is impressed by one's skills.
You’re right, we could use it when we’re amazed at one’s skills 👍🏽 I would, however, use both expressions for that same situation. I feel ‘virar frangos’ is more playful and ‘ensinar a missa’ shows a little more atitude (but of course it all depends on the tone in which it is said and on facial expressions). At the end of the day the point you’re making across with “são muitos anos a virar frangos” is that you have a lot of experience with something.
We have an expression in English "teaching your Grandmother to suck eggs" sounds a bit similar in meaning to muitos anos a virar frangos. (Not a clue why anybodies granny would want to suck eggs). Wow it's raining outside your windows - doesn't english weather drive you mad?
@@planetrachel interesting that you mentioned Yorkshire. Today I asked a friend of mine who is from Dreffield and confirmed that it is still in use. I never heard the expression before and I lived in Manchester for over 20 years. I am sure there are many that I don’t know. Obrigado pela sua resposta. Eu estou a aprender as duas línguas ao mesmo tempo. 👍🏽😀
Just a comment: love your stuff, but could you slow down the pronunciation a little. It's quite hard to grasp the correct pronunciation if it's said to fast. Many thanks. Probably best to pronounce the words slowly at first, and then give us the normal speede-up version. Thank you. Muito obridado 😅
What a lovely generous couple - you make the world a kinder place - muito obrigado
This was a fun way to learn EP expressions! Great cartoons to go with it to help us remember them! 🥰Blessings from South Australia💕🐨
I like your videos. Nice to understand the portuguese expressions. I like the one "Muitos anos a virar frangos."
Genial. Muito Obrigado.
Keep the good work, Portuguese from Portugal is on high demand, regarding the amount of foreigners coming to Portugal
Congratulations for your subscribers over 20,000!!! from South Korea

Let's see how many of these idioms I know.
This is also a challenge for native speakers.
Entendo sempre os seus vídeos com a avó ao colo respeitada professora , pois nunca foram feitos à portuguesa mas só para inglês ver.

@@portuguesewithcarla Definitely. Thank you!
Acordar com os pes de fora - closest match in English would be "To get up on the wrong side of the bed"
That is what I thought - Acordar com o pé esquerdo. It's a similar one.
Trocar por miúdos
A good English translation
" to dumb it down"
isto virá a calhar para mim ;-)

Quite interesting English saying. Is it still in use?
That’s such a funny English expression 😄
And yes the weather can drive us mad at times 😅 but I also do enjoy the odd rainy day 💕
@@HatemGifaeeri I believe so, but it might be mostly used in Yorkshire, my mum's county.
@@planetrachel interesting that you mentioned Yorkshire. Today I asked a friend of mine who is from Dreffield and confirmed that it is still in use. I never heard the expression before and I lived in Manchester for over 20 years. I am sure there are many that I don’t know.

It's interesting. I was unaware of that one- I mean the English idiom, not the Portuguese one.
Why suck eggs? It's a strange and dirty idiom.
I went with a pig one time.
