OK, so you are driving down the freeway and you see a semi going 70 mph and there is a mobile home being pulled along. Well, yes, I do see why that would seem rather shocking to a Brazilian. Thanks go to Valdo and Michelle for making that observation. Grammar-wise, we are also going to talk about dropping direct object pronouns. Better to drop pronouns than mobile homes from semis!
Dialog
Portuguese
Michelle: VocÃª viu aquele caminhÃ£o levando aquela casa inteirinha?
Valdo: Vi sim. Que coisa, nÃ©?
Michelle: Pois Ã©, a primeira vez que vi tomei um susto. VocÃª compraria aquela casa pra vocÃª?
Valdo: NÃ£o, nÃ£o compraria nÃ£o. Prefiro a minha casa de concreto no Brasil que estÃ¡ bem presa ao chÃ£o. E vocÃª transportaria sua casa assim com tudo dentro?
Michelle: Transportaria sim. Por que? VocÃª nÃ£o gosta desse sistema nÃ£o?
Valdo: NÃ£o gosto muito nÃ£o. Como jÃ¡ te disse, prefiro minha casa bem presa ao chÃ£o.
Spanish
Michelle: Â¿Viste tÃº aquel camiÃ³n llevando aquella casa entera?
Valdo: SÃ lo vi. QuÃ© cosa, Â¿verdad?
Michelle: Pues, la primera vez que lo vi, me asustÃ©. Â¿ComprarÃas tÃº aquella casa?
Valdo: No, no la comprarÃa. Prefiero que mi casa en Brasil sea de concreto y que estÃ© bien fijada en el suelo. Â¿TransportarÃas tÃº la casa asÃ con todo adentro?
Michelle: SÃ, la transportarÃa. Â¿Por quÃ©? Â¿A ti no te gusta el sistema?
Valdo: No me gusta mucho. Como ya te dije, prefiero una casa que estÃ© en el suelo.
English
Michelle: Did you see that truck carrying that whole house?
Valdo: I did see it. How weird, huh?
Michelle: Yeah, the first time that I saw one it surprised me. Would you ever buy that house for you?
Valdo: No, I wouldn't buy it. I prefer a concrete home in Brazil that is well attached to the ground. And would you transport your house like that with every thing in it?
Michelle: Yes, I would transport it. Why? Don't you like the system here?
Valdo: No, I don't like it a lot. As I already told you, I prefer my house to be stuck to the ground.
