Salgadinhos... em inglês

Na hora de traduzir algumas palavras, ou quando você tem um amigo estrangeiro que vem ao Brasil, como explicar o que são alguns dos nossos favoritos salgadinhos? Pode ser um desafio, mas aqui temos uma lista que vai auxiliar vocês nestes momentos de dúvida:

SALGADINHOS: SMALL SAVORY SNACKS

Salgadinhos are very popular in Brazil and can be found at snack bars (lanchonetes), bakeries (padarias), bars and at parties. A few all-time favourites are:

COXINHA	a pear-shaped, deep-fried chicken filled croquette
PASTEL	a thin pastry envelope with different fillings, deep fried in vegetable oil. The most common fillings are ground beef (carne), cheese (queijo), hearts of palm(palmito), cream cheese (catupiry) and chicken (frango)
KIBE/QUIBE	a torpedo-shaped, deep-fried croquette made with bulgur wheat and ground beef
ESFIHA	a small pizza-like bread with a topping – usually meat, chicken or cream cheese, served either open or folded into a triangular pastry
EMPADINHA	a small, round, mini pie with a filling – often hearts of palm, shrimp (camarão), and chicken
PÃO DE QUEIJO	cheese bread – a small, baked, cheese-flavored roll made with cassava or corn flour
BOLINHO DE BACALHAU	deep-fried codfish croquette

  

Observações sobre o pão de queijo:

Por se tratar de um produto tipicamente mineiro, não há uma tradução correta para o pão de queijo, sendo que mesmo que o mais comum seja dizer cheese bread, ainda pode passar a impressão para um estrangeiro que é apenas um pão  franês com queijo. O termo cheese rolls também é comum nos hotéis para pão de queijo. O importante é sempre explicar assim:

It´s a savory made with cheese typical in Brazil from the state of Minas Gerais, and popular all over the country.

Requeijão: (CREAM / SOFT) CURD CHEESE

Nós sambemos que há uma grande diferença entre requeijão, cream cheese e catupiry, então como dizer estas palavras em inglês?

Requeijão: Curd cheese

Requeijão cremoso: Cream/soft curd cheese

Cream cheese: cream cheese :-)

Catupiry: Brazilian cream cheese

Brazilian cream cheese? Sim, o nosso popular catupiry é um produto Brasileiro e portanto não tem tradução para o inglês, apesar de parecer que seu nome já é em inglês, nenhum estrangeiro irá compreender se você explicar que a coxinha tem recheio de catupiry!

Pão francês

Não usamos a palavra Bread para comprar pão, seria como pedir carne no açougue e não dizer qual tipo de corte você quer (patinho, picanha, alcatra, etc.) Vamos ver então como dizemos alguns tipos de pão em inglês:

·         loaf = pão de forma

·         slice = fatia

·         sliced loaf = pão de forma fatiado

·         bun = pão de hambúrguer

·         roll = pãozinho francês

·         soft roll = pão de cachorro-quente

·         small roll = bisnaguinha

Past Review Part I

VERB TO BE - PAST FORM

  

I	WAS
YOU	WERE
HE	WAS
SHE	WAS
IT	WAS
WE	WERE
YOU	WERE
THEY	WERE

IMPORTANTE!!!

·         O verbo to be significa ser/estar em inglês.

·         Não se usa o auxiliar DID para formar a negativa e a interrogativa, pois o próprio verbo to be funciona como auxiliar.

·         Para formar a interrogativa, o verbo to be vai para o início da frase.

·         Para formar a negativa, usa-se a forma negativa do verbo to be:

·         Wasn’t ( ou was not) / weren’t ( ou were not)

Afirmativa	Interrogativa	Negativa
I was a student in 99.	Was I a student in 99?	I wasn’t a student in 99.
They were friends at school.	Were they friends at school?	They weren’t friends at school.
He was my teacher last year.	Was he my teacher last year?	He wasn’t my teacher last year.

SIMPLE PAST TENSE:  REGULAR VERBS

Regras para a formação do passado nos verbos regulares

·         regra geral: Para se formar o passado dos verbos regulares acrescenta-se –ed ao verbo:     talk – talked                       like - liked                         want - wanted

·         Se o verbo terminar com a letra –e, acrescenta-se apenas o –d:

Love – loved                            Change- changed                            Decide – decided

·         Se o verbo terminar em y, você deve observar qual a letra que o antecede:

-          Se for uma vogal, mantém-se o y e apenas acrescenta-se o –ed

Play – played            Destroy – destroyed

-          se for uma consoante, troca-se o -y por –ied:

carry – carried         study – studied               hurry - hurried

·         Verbos terminados em Consoante+vogal+consonate (CVC):

-          monossílabos (apenas uma sílaba) dobram a última consoante antes de receber –ed:
