Things Cariocas Say Posted by on Jun 27, 2012 in Culture

Even though the “Stuff People Say” meme ended awhile ago, it resurged in Brazil today with the release of a video called “O jeitinho carioca” that follows the same formula. In the video, you’ll see people from Rio saying things that are, well, things Cariocas say. You’ll hear funny things about the weather, beach culture, food, transportation, and comments on what the city will be like during the World Cup.

For those of you familiar with Rio, what do you think? Did they miss any?

    Hi Rachel.
    Nice video.Very nice, good characters. Even as I know a lot of words in Portuguese, and understand when it is written,( ou falando devagar) I could not understand anything they were saying in the video. Damn it is killing my confidence. 🙂
    Is there a transcript of this, that would be very helpful for me.
    Thanks

    Rachel: Yes, a transcript would be helpful. I was only able to hear/understand a few words also. Thank you.
