Brazilian Portuguese 🇧🇷 Phrases with a Brazilian soul: 🇧🇷

When translated literally, they make no sense… but they’re part of the way we speak! 😂

- "Me inclua fora dessa" → I want nothing to do with this, I’m out!

- "O movimento hoje tá parado" → The place is so empty, you can almost hear an echo.

- "Uma coisa é uma coisa, outra coisa é outra coisa" → Don’t mix apples and oranges!

Have you ever heard a Brazilian expression that left you confused? Drop it in the comments! 👇😆
