I like all the shorties, but this one was particularly interesting and entertaining! I also just discovered that I can change the speed⊠great function to have too.
Fascinating. Was Porto Moniz on Madeira named after him?
Porto Moniz was actually named after one of the first settlers to live there, Francisco Moniz đ

thank you âŠI didnât know you could use âComoâ in that sense ( as âbut)
Youâre welcome! You can, but only in these constructions (ânĂŁo só⊠comoâŠâ).
O que Ă© que significa esta frase âMas a razĂŁo da sua vitĂłria tem muito que se lhe digaâŠâ ?
A more literal translation would be âBut the reason for his victory has much to tell youâŠâ, but the meaning in English is more like the expression shown in the transcript: âBut the reason for his victory has more to it than meets the eyeâŠâ
Basically itâs just implying that there is more to the story and that itâs surprising that he won this award for a procedure that was so harmful.
Obrigado pelo este âshortyâ. Mas tenho uma pergunta sobre o conteĂșdo.
Tu escreveste:
âEgas Moniz levou oito tiros, mas ao contrĂĄrio do que dizem os mitos, nĂŁo sĂł sobreviveu como recuperou totalmente.â Eu li que ele tinha de estar num cadeira de rodas. NĂŁo se pode falar de ârecuperação totalmenteâ, nĂŁo Ă©?
Cumprimentos
Olå, Manfred. Pelo que vi, ele realmente recuperou totalmente e não precisou de cadeira de rodas por causa desse ataque. Uma das fontes que vi citadas para essa informação é esta biografia dele.
OlĂĄ Joel,
o meu informaçÔes funda neste artigo.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AntĂłnio_Egas_Moniz
Mas não é tão importante. Parece que existem informaçÔes diferentes.
Boa noite
âO que Ă© irĂłnico Ă© que Egas Moniz fez um contributo muito mais importante para a medicinaâ
Um contributo (from my searches) is more of an intellectual contribution/input/role, while contribuição could also be payment. Anyway, âo contributoâ doesnât appear in the vocabulary.
OlĂĄ! Thanks for letting us know. I just added the âo contributoâ to the vocab section.
