Today I woke up really loving my country, my language, my people and our culture, so I decided to make a few posts about it, bear with me

The first thing I'd like to talk about is one of my favorite saying (dictation?) in portuguese: Agora Inês é morta ou Agora é tarde, Inês é morta

Translating it literally to English it would be: Now Inês is dead or Now it's too late, Inês is dead. This saying mean that doing something is futile, useless, it's too late now.

I grew up with my parents (especially my dad) saying this, so I say it often, but I decided to talk about this saying in specific instead of so many other popular saying because of the history behind it:

So, Inês de Castro was a Galician noblewoman, who was very loved by D. Pedro I, Portugal's future king. She was also Constança Manuel's lady-in-waiting, who was married with D. Pedro I. His father disapproved their relationship and ordered the exiled of Inês to the Albuquerque Castle. But their love was too strong, so they continued to correspond each other and had four children together. When D. Constança died, D. Pedro ordered, without his father's permission, that Inês de Castro returned and they started to live together. His father, D. Afonso IV, afraid of the repercussions, ordered Inês's death when D. Pedro was away. D. Pedro I was furious and after D. Afonso IV's death, he is declared the eighth king of Portugal. After this, he persecuted and killed cruelly two of the men responsible for Inês's death. He revealead that he and Inês secrectly married before her death, which legitimized their four children. D. Pedro I granted Inês de Castro the posthumous title of queen of Portugal and he certainly would like to have reigned alongside his beloved, but that is no longer possible, because now Inês is dead.

Silvio hates your wedding customs.

... not all the customs. Just one:

The DOLLAR DANCE

Picture it:

Silvio and Emma emerge from the wedding ceremony and go straight to the reception. It's all taking place in Rhodolite, because she told asked him.

That means Rhodolite customs are taking place.

When the emcee announces the "dollar dance", Silvio is at the open bar getting his drink refilled, so he doesn't take much notice.

Until men begin lining up to dance with the bride. His bride.

Silvio stares in disgust as the first man has the gall to slip paper money into her sleeve at the wrist. They begin to waltz.

"What. The. Fu--?? Hold my drink. Nah, on second thought --" He slams the liquor back, crassly wipes his lips, and stalks towards the dance floor.

Now the next man in line is putting a rolled-up bill under Emma's hem at the top of her shoulder.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

A few tumbled chairs, many foreign swear words, and one broken wrist later, Emma is explaining at the top-of-lungs what this wedding custom is all about.

Silvio matches her volume and stubbornness in refuting the fact that the custom is "stupid" and that she should know "no one gets to throw money at you except me".

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Amid the quietly stunned guests , Clavis gleefully puts a wad of cash in Nokto's palm.

Luke: " Why're you so happy to be forking over cash? Didn't you just loose the bet that Silvio would go ballistic over the dollar dance?"

Clavis: "Ah, yes, yes. I took that bet gladly, and raised the ante so high that Nokto couldn't refuse. I knew if this much money was on the line, he'd make certain the dollar dance would be at the reception."

Nokto: "A pleasure doing business with you."

Luke: *confused baby bear*

Clavis: *shrugs, guffaws* A nice, normal wedding dance is boring. Boring, boring, boring. The bribe -- er, I mean friendly wager -- was a way to ensure the occasion would hold some excitement!

One of my favourite ways to practice my reading skills in TLs is to read books in languages I'm A2+ in which I've already read in my native language (English) in the past.

Right now I'm working my way through The Lightning Thief in Portuguese (O ladrão de raios), Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone in Catalan (Tothom a la meva família ha matat algú), and All Systems Red in Spanish (Sistemas críticos). The Spanish has been pretty easy which (makes sense since it's my most advanced L2 with the highest amount of study time), but both the Portuguese and Catalan books have been quite a bit of a challenge!

To encourage myself to read more, I'm planning on making vocab lists like this for unfamiliar words I come across in my reading (in any TL but mainly Portuguese and Catalan). Some of the words listed may have other meanings that I didn't include, but I'm only adding definitions for the context they appear in in the text. I'm putting them in the order the words appear instead of in alphabetical order because I'm lazy lmao. For verbs I'm providing them in the infinitive even if they appeared conjugated in the text, and adjectives are given in the masculine singular form regardless of how they appeared inflected in the text.

Unfamiliar vocab from my Catalan reading practice, Chapter 1 of Tothom a la meva família ha matat algú:

Aleshores - then, so (compare to French alors or Italian allora)

Enroscar - to curl up

Avantbraç - forearm

Atropellar - to run over (with a car)

Trucada - (telephone) call

Cremallera - zipper

Trepitjar - to step on

Gometa - rubber band

Llambregada - glance

Nítida - sharp

Clariana - clearing

Lluentor - shine

Gebre - frost

Centelleig - twinkling (n.)

Xarxa - net (in context describing a spiders' web)

Teranyina - spiderweb, cobweb

Bellugar - to fidget

Passamuntanyes - balaclava, ski mask

Xifra - numerical figure, number

A la gatzoneta - crouching on one's heels, squatting; (from "agotzonar-se" meaning "to crouch down")

Tallagespa - lawnmower

Enganxifós - sticky

by routed thru mandarin i mean i compared different mandarin translations and taigi>mandarin dictionaries and tled that to english so i feel like hopefully somewhere between those things lies a mostly accurate rendering. tho also i think there are some things where i would have done slightly more word for word if i were just posting a tl straight up rather than for subbing purposes where i wanted it to rly still retain its poetic quality rather than simply transmitting the meaning of what was being said T-T

Some Brazilian words that express actions of affection, fondness and love

Cafuné (m) = there isn't a translation for this word, but it's the act of fondle someone's scalp to make them sleep or relax

Meu bem = my dear

I really love this way of calling someone, even more than "meu amor" (my love). I can't explain it, but for me, sounds so affectionate, tão carinhoso e amoroso.

Um cheiro = translate it literally it would be like "a smell" lol, but I love this expression. It's a northeastern expression that means the act of kissing, smelling first, affectionately, someone. We often say it like "Dar um cheiro (xerô) no cangote". Cangote (m) means nape, but it's more informal, we use more (a least from where I come from) nuca (f)

Dormir de conchinha or just conchinha = spooning

Meu xodó = my darling

It's similar to "meu bem", "meu amor", etc. It's used in an informal context to demonstrate affection for someone or something. We often use it if we want to say that something or someone are our favorite.

Some examples:

"Esse carro é meu xodó, cuido dele com carinho!" - “This car is my favorite, I take care of it with love!”

"Essa roupa é meu xodó! Adoro usar ela!" - "This outfit is my favorite! I love wearing it!"

"Minha sobrinha é meu xodó! Não consigo dizer não a ela." - "My niece is my favorite! I can't say no to her." (although saying it in English not sound so good lol)

Also, a song that might help contextualize this word (that's a excuse to recommend a Brazilian song)

Saudade (f) = although it is often translated as "I miss you", I think that longing better conveys its meaning and feeling

note: I miss you in Portuguese it's better to translate as "Sinto sua falta"

There are many more, of course, but these are some of my favorites. Some of them are more used depending on the region or the people.
