Next on my Brazilian dialect series, is probably one of the most different of Brazilian states, “Gauch\u00eas,” spoken by those who live in the state of Rio Grande do Sul (and parts of Mato Grosso do Sul), the southernmost state in Brazil. \u00a0Those who live in Rio Grande do Sul are known as ga\u00fachos, <\/em>and historically, the state is somewhat separatist, but also home to two of the most famous things to come out of Brazil: rod\u00edzio de\u00a0churrasco, <\/em>and Gisele B\u00fcndchen<\/a> (whose birthday is tomorrow)! \u00a0Because of its proximity to Uruguay and Argentina, ga\u00fachos<\/em> also tend to incorporate a lot of castellano<\/em> in their vocabulary.<\/p>\n

To the rest of Brazil, however, ga\u00fachos<\/em> are known to have funny accents and expressions which we love<\/em> to make fun of. \u00a0They tend to emphasize vowels, and roll their “r’s” almost like a Spanish “r.” \u00a0Here are some you should learn before venturing to Porto Alegre or any other city in RS!<\/p>\n

As usual, the order goes, gauch\u00eas, <\/em>portugu\u00eas<\/strong>, English!<\/p>\n

capaz!, <\/em>d\u00favido!, <\/strong>Doubtful<\/p>\n

bah, <\/em>pois \u00e9, <\/strong>ah, hmm, i see (or whatever else when you have nothing else to say)<\/p>\n

tch\u00ea, <\/em>esse \u00e9\u00a0multi-uso.., <\/strong>this one can be used for anything too – to exclaim, call someone – kind of like the paulista “meu,” and carioca, “cara.”<\/p>\n

tri, <\/em>muito,<\/strong> very – “tri legal” = <\/em>very cool!<\/p>\n

abichornado<\/em>, aborrecido, triste, <\/strong>sad, upset<\/p>\n

xepa ou b\u00f3ia<\/em>, comida<\/strong>, food<\/p>\n

chamb\u00e3o, <\/em>ot\u00e1rio<\/strong>, idiot<\/p>\n

da\u00ed tch\u00ea<\/em>, oi, <\/strong>hi<\/p>\n

guri<\/em>, crian\u00e7a, menino<\/strong>, child, boy<\/p>\n

oigal\u00ea!<\/em>, aa\u00ea\u00ea!<\/strong>, yayee!<\/p>\n

buenacha, <\/em>boa, <\/strong>good one<\/p>\n

pelear, <\/em>brigar, <\/strong>argue, fight<\/p>\n

Can you think of anything else?<\/p>\n

Here’s a quick video that (ironically) talks about how ga\u00fachos<\/em> don’t have accents. \u00a0Do you see a difference from other Brazilian Portuguese you’ve heard?<\/p>\n

If you haven’t seen them already, don’t forget to see what we say in other parts of Brazil: Mineir\u00eas<\/a>, Baian\u00eas<\/a>, Pernambuqu\u00eas<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
