1. Ir embora<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ir embora<\/em> means to go away or to leave. The word embora<\/em> comes from the expression em boa hora<\/em> (at a good time).<\/p>\n

Estou indo embora. Quer uma carona? [I’m leaving. Do you want a ride?]<\/em>
\nPor que ela foi embora t\u00e3o cedo? [Why did she leave so early?]<\/em>
\nVai embora! [Go away!]<\/em><\/p>\n

2. Ir com a cara de algu\u00e9m<\/strong><\/p>\n

This means that you find someone likeable or nice, even if you don’t know that person.<\/p>\n

Eu nunca fui com a cara dele. [I never liked him.]<\/em>
\nEla n\u00e3o vai com a cara de ningu\u00e9m. [She doesn’t think anyone is nice.]<\/em>
\nVoc\u00ea n\u00e3o vai com a minha cara? [Don’t you like me?]<\/em><\/p>\n

3. Ir levando<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ir levando<\/em> is used when someone asks how we are and we are OK, so-so. It’s also used when you do something just for the heck of it, like when you don’t like your job, but you can’t quit either.<\/p>\n

“E a\u00ed? Como est\u00e3o as coisas?” [What’s up? How are things?]<\/em>
\n“Ah, vou levando. E voc\u00ea?” [OK. What about you?]<\/em><\/p>\n

Ela n\u00e3o gosta muito de trabalhar l\u00e1, mas vai levando. Afinal, n\u00e3o tem muito emprego por a\u00ed. [She doesn’t like to work there, but she’s hanging in there. After all, there are not a lot of jobs around.]<\/em><\/p>\n

4. Ir direto ao assunto<\/strong><\/p>\n

We use this expression when we stop beating around the bush, go straight to the point, cut to the chase.<\/p>\n

Bom, como estou com pressa vou direto ao assunto. [Well, as I’m in a hurry I’ll go straight to the point.]<\/em>
\nP\u00e1ra de enrolar e vai direto ao assunto. N\u00e3o temos tempo a perder. [Stop beating around the bush and cut to the chase. We don’t have time to lose.]<\/em>
\nEla chegou \u00e0 reuni\u00e3o e foi direto ao assunto. [She got to the meeting and went straight to the topic.]<\/em><\/p>\n

5. Ir atr\u00e1s de<\/strong><\/p>\n

This idiom can be used when you go after someone or take care of something, like a chore or an activity that you have to do.<\/p>\n

Ele saiu correndo da sala e ele foi atr\u00e1s dela. [He stormed out of the room and he went after her.]<\/em>
\nTenho que renovar minha CHN e vou atr\u00e1s disso amanh\u00e3. [I need to renew my driver’s license and I will take care of it tomorrow.]<\/em>
\nQuando ele soube que eu estava desempregado ele veio atr\u00e1s de mim para trabalhar com ele. [When he found out I was unemployed he got in touch with me to work with him.]<\/em><\/p>\n
