Vídeo: Brazilian idioms Posted by on Jul 1, 2011 in Learning

Oi, tudo bem?

This week’s video is for intermediate and advanced students of Portuguese and it brings six very common idioms used here in Brazil. They are:

cair aos pedaços (to be run down, to fall apart)
colocar em dia (to catch up on something)
encontrar alguém por acaso (to run into someone)
dar de topo com alguém (to run/bump into someone)
cumprir um prazo (to meet a deadline)
puxar conversa (to strike up a conversation)

Tenha um ótimo fim de semana!
