What\u2019s up, guys? A lot has been said about Brazilians as warm, friendly cheerful people. And there\u2019s certainly some truth to that. On the other side of the coin, however, there is no denying that we have our <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">defeitos<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (flaws). Sure, we have our <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">qualidades <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">(virtues) and we love a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">elogio<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (compliment).

The beauty of it is that not only are they nearly impossible to<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> traduzir <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">(translate), but they also describe our<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> personalidades <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">(personalities) really well and talk about certain particular<em> caracter\u00edsticas<\/em> <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">negativas<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (negative traits) for which we are also known.
