@Ask The Brazilians

A program where the talk is all about Portuguese language stuff. The doors are opened to all levels. Feel like a Brazilian chatter box? Excellent! So, what’s your question of the day? : )

I hope to meet you soon.
Tchau

I ate iguana in Mexico. And a Gator Burger in the Everglades here in Florida.

Angela Matos

I think being from the South they might bbq it. Yuuuhhh, I don’t think so, but everything is possibel when we are hungry right? The first time I ever tried some gator as a main dish was when I moved to Canada, never in Brazil. And I just did it because I didn’t read the menu detail. After a few bites I thought that ‘chicken’ was really stale and tasting kinda fishy. : ) Not for moi, gracias. Te gusta comer iguana o (oli)gator ?

Enrique Kates

Ok, talking about food. Do they make iguana soup in the south of Brazil?

Angela Matos

Hmmmmm, I’m going to make some stuff out of there lalalal L : )

Enrique Kates

Angela Matos

Enrique Kates

I’m learning a lot of portuguese on this group. Muito obrigado Angie!

Enrique Kates

Me gustaria estar en Rio durante el carnaval. I don’t know if I “gosto de Carnaval”, I’ve never been there….But, I’d certainly like to

Angela Matos

That’s right too. "Eu ficarei (or “vou ficar”) na casa de uns amigos no Rio de Janeiro" Voce gosta de Carnaval??

Enrique Kates

Muito obrigado minha amiga Angie por la explicacion.
Is fica also used in this context: Si yo voy a Mexico, yo “fico” en casa de unos amigos. I mean, I’d stay at friends house….

Angela Matos

Fica=here sounds more like “it becomes/they become”(and yes: “gets” and “turns”) : It just gets fancier at Xmas day and New Year’s eve. A comida e bebida so ficam mais interessantes no dia do Natal e na vespera do ano novo. :) . The word “fica” means literally “stay”. To stay = Ficar.

Enrique Kates

fica = just ??

Angela Matos

It just get fancier at Xmas day and New Year’s eve. A comida e bebida so ficam mais interessantes no dia do Natal e na vespera do ano novo. :)

Enrique Kates

@Angie! What is “fica”, gets, turns, becomes??? You mean it gets more interesting on Christmas Eve and New Years Eve?

Angela Matos

It just get fancier at Xmas day and New Year’s eve. A comida e bebida so fica mais interessante no dia do Natal e na vespera do ano novo. :)

Enrique Kates

Y en Basil?

Angela Matos

That’s great, Enrique!!

Enrique Kates

In Mexico people drink a lot of “Ponche” in the “Posadas”. These are the Fiestas de Diciembre.
There are also some desserts typical of the season. There’s a beer that only sells in December. And I think also a coffee that’s prepared in a special way.

Angela Matos

Typical food… hum, not at all: during the month of December we have our everyday meals and drinks, and just get fancier at Xmas day. What about in Cuba?

Enrique Kates

Angie! Is there any typical food that you eat in Brasil during the Christmas Season. I mean during the Holidays, NOT only on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day……food or drink?
