E a\u00ed, pessoal? Tudo bem?<\/p>\n

Let’s learn a very cool idiom in Portuguese today: cair a ficha<\/strong>. Cair a ficha<\/em> is used when you finally understand something that you hadn’t been aware of, it finally hits you. It can also be used when someone takes a hit.<\/p>\n

This expression in Portuguese from the time when pay phones had tokens so when the token, a ficha<\/em>, dropped, ca\u00eda<\/em>, you got through. Here are some examples:<\/p>\n

S\u00f3 caiu minha ficha<\/strong> que eles eram casados quando eu os vi se abra\u00e7ando carinhosamente.
\nI only realized they were married when I saw them hugging each other passionately.<\/em><\/p>\n

N\u00e3o caiu tua ficha<\/strong> ainda?
\nHaven’t you realized that yet?<\/em><\/p>\n

Caiu a ficha?<\/strong>
\nGot it?<\/em><\/p>\n

O professor explicou a mat\u00e9ria v\u00e1rias vezes em ingl\u00eas, mas s\u00f3 caiu a minha ficha<\/strong> quando ele explicou em portugu\u00eas.
\nThe teacher explained the subject several times in English, but I just got it when he explained it in Portuguese.<\/em><\/p>\n

Ele sempre me convida para sair e j\u00e1 dei v\u00e1rias desculpas. Ser\u00e1 que a ficha dele n\u00e3o vai cair<\/strong> que eu n\u00e3o quero sair com ele?
\nHe’s been asking me out and I’ve given several excuses. I wonder if he hasn’t taken a hint that I don’t want to go out with him.<\/em><\/p>\n
