Sometimes we all get a little annoyed, no matter what language we speak. This post will show you how to express your frustration in the most succinct and culturally common manner.<\/p>\n
Chatear<\/strong> is the first word you will need to know; it means to bother or annoy<\/em>. If you are upset, you may say that you are chateado\/a<\/strong>; this is a very common saying. Someone who is generally the cause of such feeling is said to be chato\/a<\/strong>, or even a pentelho<\/strong>.<\/p>\n A synonym for chateado<\/strong> is saco cheio<\/strong>. Stronger still is the expression “p. da vida”<\/strong>. Likewise, the verb chatear<\/strong> can be substituted by encher o saco<\/strong>, which is clearly related to the phrase above.<\/p>\n And if you are looking for the right way to say a pain in the butt<\/em> in Portuguese, look no further: “um p\u00e9 no saco”<\/strong> works perfectly.<\/p>\n My favorite is a sequence used by Brazilians that I find to be absolutely hilarious. Based on how annoying someone is, they are a different type of baggage! A mala<\/strong> (suitcase<\/em>) is someone obnoxious; if they are even worse, they would be a ba\u00fa<\/strong> (trunk<\/em>); the absolute most obnoxious person would be a container<\/strong> (sic), which is quite a strong statement.[edit: also you can add in a gradation: mala sem al\u00e7a<\/strong> (suitcase with no handle<\/em>) is between mala<\/strong> and ba\u00fa<\/strong>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sometimes we all get a little annoyed, no matter what language we speak.

\nChato<\/strong> is also frequently used to express its more literal meaning boring<\/em>. Careta<\/strong> means old-fashioned \/ boring<\/em> but is itself a bit old-fashioned and boring as a word. How meta.<\/p>\n
