Epenthe ... what? Epenthetic vowels. We know, it sounds like a tropical disease, but it's really the linguistic feature that produces such great Brazilian words as 'piquenique' for picnic. Valdo isn't sure he can bring himself to say 'hoti doggie' for 'hot dog,' but he has no problem with 'fasti foodi.'
Dialog
Portuguese
Valdo: VocÃª jÃ¡ observou como a comida daqui Ã© diferente da nossa?
Michelle: Ã� Ã³bvio que sim! E o mais absurdo Ã© que a gente nÃ£o tem opÃ§Ã£o: Ã© fast food todo dia!
Valdo: VocÃª estÃ¡ absolutamente certa! No Brasil, nÃ³s nunca substituirÃamos um prato de arroz e feijÃ£o por um pedaÃ§o de pizza ou por um hot dog.
Michelle: Ã� verdade. Nossa comida Ã© digna dos deuses!
Valdo: Ainda bem que nÃ³s nÃ£o somos adeptos a esse sistema, nÃ©?
Michelle: Pois Ã© ... apesar do nosso ritmo de vida ser igual, sempre optamos por ter pelo menos uma refeiÃ§Ã£o de verdade.
Spanish
Valdo: Â¿Ha observado usted como la comida de aquÃ es diferente que la nuestra?
Michelle: SÃ, es obvio. Y lo mÃ¡s absurdo es que no hay otra opciÃ³n: es fast food todos los dÃas
Valdo: Absolutamente, usted tiene toda la razÃ³n. En Brasil, nunca substituirÃamos un plato de arroz y frijoles por una pizza o por una hot dog.
Michelle: Es verdad. Nuestra comida es digna de los diÃ³ses.
Valdo: Felizmente no somos adeptos a ese sistema, Â¿verdad?
Michelle: Pues sÃ ... puede ser que nuestra ritmo de vida sea igual, pero siempre hay opciones para comer una comida de verdad.
English
Valdo: Have you ever observed how food here is different from ours?
Michelle: It's obvious yes. And the most absurd thing is that we have no options here: fast food every day!
Valdo: You are absolutely correct. In Brazil we would never substitute a plate of rice and beans for a slice of pizza or for a hot dog.
Michelle: That is true. Our food is worthy of the gods!
Valdo: It's a good thing that we aren't very adept at their system, you know?
Michelle: You're right ... even if our rhythm of life is just like theirs, we'll always take time to at least have a real meal.
