Boa dia a todos! Brazil has a complicated relationship with money. Home to one of the world’s biggest desigualdade econ\u00f4mica<\/em> (income gap), the country has always been grappling with pobreza<\/em> (poverty). And in a scenario where a pandemic hit the global economy on a large escale, many people<\/span> perderam seus empregos<\/em> (lost their jobs) or could not secure a stable stream of income.<\/p>\n

As unpleasant as it may be, there comes a time in our adult lifes when we must inevitably face money problems. And it can sure be a lot easier if we have the linguistic skills to communicate about it, right? So today’s text will go over some terms to discuss personal finance in Portuguese. Vamos dar uma olhada? Prometo que vai compensar!<\/p>\n

pegar emprestado, emprestar<\/b>\u00a0|\u00a0<\/b>borrow, lend<\/b><\/em><\/h3>\n

In Portuguese, we don’t have two different verbs like in English, so we simply say emprestar<\/em> for lending<\/em> and pegar emprestado<\/em> for borrowing<\/em>.<\/p>\n
