E aí galera? What’s up, guys?

Today you guys will learn some ways to say “Be Cool” and some Interjections of Surprise. So let’s start with the expression “Be Cool”:

The first way to say “Be Cool” is the real meaning of the word: Fica frio (fica = be, frio = cool), and you guys can add cara (as you know “cara” is the same of dude or man). So your phrase will be: Fica frio, cara.

The second way is: Fica de boa, cara. “Boa” means good, and in this case “de boa” is a slang here and it means cool or just OK.

The third way to say it is: Fica sussa. The word “sussa” it is one of those old slang (from my father’s time) that you can still use today.

And the last way it’s: Relaxa. “Relaxa” means “relax”, and we some times use that to say Be Cool.

OMG!

Now I will teach some Interjections of Surprise, like Oh My God!

The fist interjection is the real meaning of Oh My God: Oh, meu Deus! (meu = my, Deus = God). You can make it short, and just say Meu Deus too.

The second way it’s: Caraca. In some places in Brazil, this word means something dirty, like dirt on the skin when you don’t take a bath.

The third way to say it is: Que Isso!. This interjection it is one of the most used here.

And the last one it is: Puts grila or just Puts. And this interjection it is really old, and still common.
