To be clear, we are referring to gender agreement. Get ready: although gender is 95% the same between Spanish and Portuguese, there are a few words that change. Is it o leite or a leite? O sal or a sal? O origem or a origem? Valdo and Michelle clarify things for us. Culturally, at what age can you buy alcohol in Brazil?
Dialog
Portuguese
Valdo: O leite, o mel e o sal que vocÃª pediu para eu comprar jÃ¡ estÃ£o aqui.
Michelle: E o vinho, a cerveja e a Ã¡gua, vocÃª nÃ£o trouxe? E o computador, onde estÃ¡?
Valdo: Eta, esqueci da Ã¡gua e do computador. Mas as bebidas alcoÃ³licas nÃ£o me deixaram trazer porque eu estava sem minha identidade.
Michelle: Mas como assim? Qual a origem disso?
Valdo: Pois Ã©, eles fizeram uma anÃ¡lise equivocada do meu rosto. Acharam que eu tinha menos de 21 anos.
Michelle: Mas isso Ã© um bom sinal, Valdo. Acharam que vocÃª era de menor! Mas vocÃª sabe que independente da idade vocÃª sempre tem que mostrar a identidade para comprar Ã¡lcool aqui.
Spanish
Valdo: La leche, la miel, y la sal que pidiÃ³ que comprara ya estÃ¡n aquÃ.
Michelle: Y el vino, la cerveza y el agua, Â¿no los trajiste? Y la computadora, Â¿dÃ³nde estÃ¡?
Valdo: Ay, se me olvidÃ³ el agua y la computadora. Pero no permitieron que comprara las bebidas alcohÃ³licas porque no llevaba mi identificaciÃ³n.
Michelle: Â¿Pero como asÃ? Â¿CuÃ¡l es el origen de eso?
Valdo: Pues, se equivocaron en el anÃ¡lisis de mi rostro. Pensaron que tenÃa menos de 21 aÃ±os.
Michelle: Pero eso es una buena seÃ±al Valdo. Pensaron que eras mÃ¡s joven! Y tÃº sabes que no importa la edade que tengas, hay que siempre mostrar la identificaciÃ³n para comprar alcohol aquÃ.
English
Valdo: The milk, the honey, and the salt that you asked me to buy are already here.
Michelle: And the wine, beer, and water, didn't you bring them? And the computer, where is it?
Valdo: Shoot, I forgot the water and the computer. But they didn't let me buy the alcohol because I didn't have my ID.
Michelle: What do you mean? What's going on here?
Valdo: Right, well they missed analyzed things based on my face. They thought I was less than 21 years old.
Michelle: But that's a good sign Valdo. They thought you were younger! But you know that it doesn't matter how old you are, you always have to show ID to by alcohol here.
