Be sure to listen to hear a real mineira demonstrate the pronunciation! Ok, confused? You should be, it’s a mess! But let’s go ahead and piece together what the ‘real’ Portuguese underlying this passage is, and then go for the English.<\/p>\n
Olha aqui: S\u00e1bado passado, era sete de setembro, eu estava na cozinha tomando uma pinga com mel e cozinhando um quilo de carne com massa de tomate para fazer uma macarronada com galinha assada.<\/p>\n
Quase ca\u00ed de susto, quando ouvi um barulho vindo de dentro do forno, parecendo um tiro de guerra. A receita tinha madado p\u00f4r milho-de-pipoca dentro da galinha para assar.<\/p>\n
O forno esquentou, misturou e a galinha explodiu! Nossa senhora! Fiquei branca que nem um litro de leite. Fou um trem doidinho, uai!<\/p>\n
Quase ca\u00ed dentro da pia! Fiquei sem saber da onde que eu vim, pra onde que eu vou, aonde que eu estou. Olha pra voc\u00ea ver que loucura! Gra\u00e7as a Deus ningu\u00e9m se machucou!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The oven got hot, mixed up, and the chicken exploded. Oh my God! I was as white as a liter of milk! It was ridiculous!<\/p>\n
I almost fell into the sink! I had no idea where I came from, where I was going, or where I was. Look how crazy it was! Thank God no one got hurt!<\/p>\n
Hope you enjoyed. Coming soon will be another post about the culture and history of Minas Gerais!<\/p>\n

Have you ever heard someone from Minas Gerais speak Portuguese? The Portuguese spoken in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais is quite distinct from that spoken in other parts of the country. Full of idiosyncrasies, the Mineiran ‘dialect,’ or Mineir\u00eas can be hard to understand and even painful to listen to for some Brazilians. Indeed…<\/p>\n
