  • Muito obrigado por este shorty. Há expressôes muito úteis. Mas pode explicar mais a frase “não ajudes a entornar mais o caldo.” A tradução ingles nâo faz muito sentido. Adivinho que é semelhante em inglès a “you are not helping matters” mas o meu dicionário dá a expressáo “temos o caldo entornado” que náo percebo muito bem.

    • Obrigado pelo comentário, Michael! “Temos o caldo entornado” é uma expressão popular que significa literalmente “the broth is spilled”. A mensagem é de que “temos um problema” ou “já está tudo estragado”. Neste shorty, quando ela diz “Não ajudes a entornar mais o caldo”, ela está a fazer referência à outra expressão e quer dizer “Don’t make matters even worse”. Concordo que a tradução ficou demasiado literal neste caso 🙂

  • hello, i don’t understand why you translate “Sei lá” by “i don’t know”? She knows where she wants to go since just after she says she wants to go to Sao Bentinho. Thanks for explaining

    • Hi, Marie. “Sei lá” is indeed an emphatic way of saying “I don’t know”. She really does not know, because after complaining that she doesn’t want to go to Igreja de São Bento, she just gives up and says “Fine, let’s go there then”. “São Bentinho” is a sarcastic reference to the Igreja de São Bento, their original destination. “Bentinho” is the diminutive form of “Bento”.

      There’s also a comment by Sytze, further down, that explains the general uses of “Sei lá” 🙂

  • Rui, I Love it so much in the way you Folks have structured this site, even a new beginner like me ENJOYS LEARNING FROM ALL THESE!.

    i am learning Brazilian Porttuguese, BUT the PORTUGAL SOTAQUE, PRONUNCIATION is much more harder to pick up = IT’S A BEAUTIFUL LANGUAGE.
    MUITO OBRIGADO GRANDE!!!

  • Olá Marie! I believe that “Sei lá” is more translated as “I don’t know/care” or “whatever”. For example:
    – Pessoa 1: Tanta escolha! O que é que vais encomendar?
    – Pessoa 2: Sei lá.. Não estou com fome.
    You can use this website to see a phrase/word in context: https://context.reverso.net/translation/portuguese-english/sei+l%C3%A1. It’s awesome, try it out!

    Julgo que os criadores podem dar-nos um melhor exemplo 😉
