Pingado coffee

25 de July de 2017

Hello everyone! Excited about anotherΒ Dica? In today’s lesson we will show you what a Pingado coffee in Brazil is!

What is a pingado coffee?

Pingado is how Brazilians call coffee with a splash of milk. It’s really common to order a PingadoΒ at lanchonetes.Β You can find lanchonetes everywhere here, it’s very common and Brazilians go there to have a quick bite.Β 

The wordΒ pingado it’s related to the wordΒ pingo. PingoΒ means a drop, for example: pingo de Γ‘gua (drop of water). We call this style of coffee a pingado because it’s a coffee with just a drop of milk. It’s interesting understanding where the words come from, right?

In Brazil, we have different names for different types of coffee, if you want to learn them, click here.

We will show you how to order a Pingado around here:

What is a pingado in Brazil. Eu gostaria de pedir um pingado, por favor.

Luana: Boa tarde. Eu queria pedir um pingado, por favor.
Atendente: EstΓ‘ bem!
Luana: Obrigada.Β 

Luana: Good afternoon. I would like to order a pingado, please.
Atendente: Ok!
Luana: Thank you.

It’s really common to see Brazilians having pingados for breakfast on their way to work. As it’s quickly prepared and easy to find, you can stop by any lanchonete and have one.

Now, let’s watch this video to practice the pronunciation of what you’ve just learned.
