Tips on learning Portuguese - part 1

In a Portuguese-speaking country:

1. Be careful when giving compliments. The word esquisito means strange, not exquisite. For this purpose you can use the word belo or primoroso.

2. Don't worry if a friend tells you that he/she’s with a constipação. It means he/she’s feeling cold, not constipated. Fot this purpose we have prisão de ventre.

3. If someone says he/she wants to assistir your presentation, it means he will observe it, not assist you. For this purpose, we have the verb auxiliar or ajudar. 

4. If you are  leaving the room, remember that puxe (pronounced “poosh”) means to pull, not to push. To push means empurre.
