Ol\u00e1, pessoal!<\/p>\n

Today we’re going to learn a very cool Brazilian slang expression: ficar na sua<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

There are times when you don’t want to be bothered, you’re feeling sort of introspective and stuff. In this case you can use “ficar na sua”. By the way, you can replace the “sua” for the corresponding possessive adjetive (minha, sua, dele, dela, etc.)<\/p>\n

Some examples:<\/p>\n

Hoje n\u00e3o estou a fim de sair. Acho que vou ficar na minha, ver um filme e dormir cedo.
\nI don’t like going out today. I think I’ll just keep to myself\/do my thing, watch a movie and go to bed early.<\/em><\/p>\n

Minha amiga disse que n\u00e3o est\u00e1 muito bem hoje. Ela disse que vai ficar na dela e ler um pouco.
\nMy friend said she’s not feeling very well today. She said she’s going to keep to herself and read a bit.<\/em><\/p>\n

Sabe o que eu vou fazer hoje? Vou passar num buteco, pegar uma cerveja e ficar na minha em casa. T\u00e1 chovendo muito e vai ser um pesadelo estacionar.
\nYou know what I’m going to do today? I’m going to stop at a bar, get some beer and do my thing at home. It’s raining way too hard and it’s going to be a nightmare to park.<\/em><\/p>\n

Ficar na sua<\/strong> is also used when you don’t want to get involved with something because something bad might happen. For example:<\/p>\n

\u00c9 melhor voc\u00ea ficar na sua e ver o que acontece.
\nYou’d better not get involved and see what happens.<\/em><\/p>\n

Fica na sua sen\u00e3o voc\u00ea vai acabar sendo culpado tamb\u00e9m.
\nStay out of it otherwise you’ll end up being to blame too.<\/em><\/p>\n

Eu fiquei na minha e deixei que eles resolvessem aquele assunto.
\nI didn’t get involved and let them work that out by themselves.<\/em><\/p>\n

Isso n\u00e3o \u00e9 da sua conta! Fica na sua e n\u00e3o se mete!
\nThis is none of your business! Stay out of it and don’t get involved!<\/em><\/p>\n

With this meaning we can also say: Cuida da tua vida!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Por hoje \u00e9 s\u00f3! Nos vemos em breve!<\/p>\n
