Call a Plumber! Posted by on Jun 29, 2011 in Learning, Vocabulary

We’ve learned some bathroom vocabulary before, so today we’re going to learn some useful adjectives and verbs to go along with them, inspired by Adir‘s post from Inglês blog.

1. entupido = clogged

A pia do banheiro está entupida! Precisamos de um encanador. The bathroom sink is clogged! We need a plumber.

2. consertar = to fix

Pode consertar a privada? Não está dando descarga. Can you fix the toilet? It won’t flush.

3. vazar = to leak

A banheira está vazando água. O chão está todo molhado. The bathtub is leaking water. The floor is all wet.

4. desentupir = to unclog

Não consegui desentupir a privada. Me ajuda? I couldn’t unclog the toilet. Will you help?

5. escorregadio = slippery

Tem vazamento no banheiro e o piso está muito escorregadio. There’s a leak in the bathroom and the floor is very slippery.
