A rod\u00edzio<\/em> is a kind of service at a restaurant that serves all-you-eat meals, especially barbecue. You can have:<\/p>\n

rod\u00edzio de carne<\/em>
\n rod\u00edzio de churrasco<\/em>
\n rod\u00edzio de pizza<\/em>
\n rod\u00edzio de risotto<\/em><\/p>\n

In restaurants where rod\u00edzios are served the waiters go around with huge skewers of meat. Usually there’s a green or red flag you can put up for them to serve you or not. Also, included in the price there’s a full salad buffet and also desserts.<\/p>\n

Some example sentences:<\/p>\n

Cara, ontem fui num rod\u00edzio animal, pertinho de casa.<\/em>
\n Voc\u00ea j\u00e1 foi naquele rod\u00edzio de pizza novo que abriu no shopping?<\/em>

In big cities they have rod\u00edzio de carros<\/em>. That means that on a certain day of the week your car can’t circulate, depending on the last number on its license plate. This is done to prevent huge traffic jams (which sometimes don’t work). If you’re driving your car on your rod\u00edzio day you may get a hefty ticket.<\/p>\n

Here are the endings of the license plates:<\/p>\n

Monday \u2013 1 and 2<\/em>
\n Tuesday \u2013 3 and 4<\/em>
\n Wednesday \u2013 5 and 6<\/em>
\n Thursday \u2013 7 and 8<\/em>
\n Friday \u2013 9 and 0<\/em><\/p>\n

Some example sentences:<\/p>\n

Hoje \u00e9 meu dia de rod\u00edzio, ent\u00e3o vou ter que pegar dois \u00f4nibus e um trem.<\/em>
\n Qual \u00e9 seu dia de rod\u00edzio?<\/em><\/p>\n
