  • The People tags on this shortie are incorrectly marked ‘Pedro’ and ‘Natasha’.
    They should be ‘Jorge’ and ‘Luisa’.

    Really nice shortie, though.

    • Olá Jamuna!
      Jorge and Luisa are the names of the made-up characters in the episode and Pedro and Natacha are the names of the real people who recorded their voices! 🙂
      Cheers,
      Luís

  • At 00:12, he says “Diga lá …..” I would have expected diga-me. What grammatical construction is the lá? Also, he has an unusual pronunciation of ‘chatice’. Is this common?

    • In the sentence “Diga lá ….,” the use of “lá” is a colloquial way of saying “tell me” or “say it.” It is often used to encourage the listener to continue speaking or to express interest in what they are saying. This usage of “lá” is similar to the English expression “go on.”
      As for the pronunciation of “chatice” or any other words, it may vary according to regional accents… However, I don’t see any major difference on this particular word. Seems pretty common to me.
