  1. Alan Orsborn:

    Please tell me that fruta seca really means dry fruit, not fresh fruit.

  2. Marlene:

    Olá, Adir…

    Two things about today’s post, if I may?
    First, would “frutas secas” not be “dried fruit” instead of “fresh fruit”?
    And second, I believe “leite achocolatado” is “chocolate milk” and not “milk chocolate”, which is a completely different thing in English (“chocolate com leite”, if I’m not mistaken).
    I just wanted to make sure that early Portuguese learners did not become confused.
