Do people often keep cornfields in their backyards in Portugal?
Apparently we do have a lot of cornfields in the countryside, just not in people’s backyards! 🙂
What does that mean at 01:32 when Carlos just says “lh”?
It’s not an actual word, just a description of a sound 🙂 “Iiiih” is a sound we often make to express surprise, shock, concern or similar.
