Brazilian habits: Toothbrush and Toothpaste

Brazilian habits: Toothbrush and Toothpaste

Hi there, folks!

Today we’ll talk about brazilian habits and how important toothbrush and toothpaste are for them.

Hi! My name is Yanée and I’m a student at Rio & Learn, and today we’re gonna talk about a kind of strange habit that Brazilians have. Every Brazilian carries with them Escova de dentes e Pasta de dentes (toothbrush and toothpaste) everywhere they go. I only learned about it this weekend. After every single meal you’ll find a Brazilian in the bathroom brushing their teeth. So let’s see how it works. It’s kinda strange, I think (LOL).

Example 1

Pablo: Como estava a Lapa ontem a noite?
Yanéé: A Lapa foi muito legal!
Pablo: Aahh, muita dança?
Yanée: Sim, sempre. Você sabe!
Pablo: Você tem que me levar para conhecer a Lapa.
Yanée: Pode ser! Este fim de semana?
Pablo: Qual é o melhor dia? Sexta ou Sábado?
Yanée: Sex…
Professor: Galera, vamos pra aula?
Yanéé: Vamos, sim!
Pablo: Ih, esqueci minha escova e minha pasta. Desculpe!

Pablo: How was it at Lapa lastnight?
Yanéé: Lapa was great!
Pablo: aahh, lots of dancing?
Yanée: Yes, as always. You know!
Pablo: You have to take me to know Lapa.
Yanée: That’s possible! This weekend?
Pablo: Which day is better? Friday or Saturday?
Yanée: Fri…
Teacher: Let’s go to class guys?
Yanée: Yes, let’s go!
Pablo: oops, I forgot my toothbrush and my toothpaste. I am sorry.

Example 2

Igor: Vamos almoçar fora hoje?
Yanéé: Sim, podemos!

Igor: Let’s have lunch somewhere else today?
Yanée: Yes, we can!

Example 3

Igor: Yanée, partiu praia?
Yanée: Sim, só um minuto!

Igor: Yanée, let’s go to the beach?
Yanée: Yes, just a minute!

Example 4

Igor: Yanée, a gente vai perder o ônibus!
Yanée: Oh meu Deus! Só um minuto!

Igor: Yanée, we are going to miss the bus!
Yanée: Oh my God! Just a minute!

So that’s it! Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoy. Don’t forget to subscribe to our video channel and don’t forget to brush your teeth!
