Elementary 68: The bed is uncomfortable

Língua da Gente - Portuguese Podcast: Dialogs

We spend so much of our life in bed, it really shows that getting the right bed is probably a big deal. But what do you do when the bed is uncomfortable. It may be that buying another one will change things, or maybe not. It’s such a hard decision, but at least we’ll give you the language necessary to make that decision in Portuguese.
Dialogue
A: Ai, sabe, eu nunca gostei dessa cama, as vezes parece dura demais, e as vezes parece mole demais.
B: Por quê você não compra outra?
A: Ah, essa saiu tão cara, e quem sabe se eu comprar uma nova vai ser igual.
B: Eu sei, fazer o que, né?
A: É, as vezes eu acordo com dor nas costas, e outras vezes com dor no pescoço.
B: Será que não é o caso de trocar de travesseiro.
A: Já troquei, mas sabe, é a cama mesmo.
A: Ay, you know, I never liked this bed, sometimes it seems too hard, and sometimes it seems too soft.
B: Why don’t you buy another one?
A: Oh, this one was so expensive, and who knows if I buy a new one that it won’t be the same.
B: I know, what can you do, you know?
A: Yeah, sometimes I wake up with a sore back, other times with a sore neck.
B: Maybe it’s a matter of changing your pillow.
A: I already did change, you know, it really is the bed.
