First time i have seen animation. I like this format as it is not too long or complicated so I find it not too difficult but does introduce new words/phrases
What on earth did I just watch? Is this what happens in Cascais on a daily basis?
Allegedly 🙂
Amigas Vaidosas…. my dictionary says this means “Vain or Conceited” Friends .
Is this the meaning that was intended, or is there another meaning of Vaidoso
that is idiomatic?
That’s absolutely the meaning, as you can see in the title translation 🙂 But additionally to that, the word is occasionally used in the sense of feeling proud. For example, we can say “um pai vaidoso” to describe a father who is proud of his child(ren).
Gostei muito desta vídeo! Isto é a primeira vez que pude entender tudo facilmente!
Constança: A Joana também tem uns sapatos muito bonitos.
Joana: Que querida, obrigada.
Quer dizer, não são sapatos, são botas.
Eu também gosto muito deles.
So Joana corrects her and says they are boots and not shoes. But she then refers to them using the pronoun “deles” (os sapatos) instead of delas (as botas). Is this a requirement since Constança referred to them as shoes? Would it be rude for Joana to refer to use the feminine pronoun in her response? Or is she referring to them in a more general sense, and disregarding the gender? Thanks!
Good catch! It’s not about rudeness, it’s just Joana being incoherent and referring to her boots in a general sense as… shoes 🙂
Both women are talking with each other using the formal seu and sua instead of the informal teu and tua? Why that? Or is my understanding not correct? Thanks.
Your understanding is correct 🙂 The formal treatment even among friends or family is not uncommon within certain wealthy social circles. This dialogue is a bit of a caricature of this. The formal treatment may also be heard more broadly among the elderly.
A Joana também tem uns sapatos muito bonitos: why is it uns sapatos and not os sapatos? Thanks
“Os sapatos” wouldn’t sound natural here. The speaker could say “…tem sapatos muito bonitos” (…you have very beautiful shoes) or “…tem uns sapatos muito bonitos” (…you have some very beautiful shoes). Adding ‘uns/some’ to the latter simply adds some emphasis. It’s not a mandatory element.
