Hi everyone, Paloma here, tudo bem? Welcome
to Portuguese weekly words, Holiday edition.
The holiday for today is International Women's
Day.
Dia Internacional das Mulheres "International
Women's Day"
It’s not a holiday but people still celebrated
it, especially man or kids flowers to women.
Every year I used to receive small chocolate
from the school, just to say, you know ,thank
you for all the women here.
O Dia Internacional da Mulher é dia 08 de
março. "International Women's Day is on March
8th."
buquê "bouquet"
I guess it’s the same in Portuguese. Bouquet
and flowers are very common gifts during Women's
Day, because, you know, they are so delicate
they remember the femininity, I think?
Eu ganhei um lindo buquê de rosas no Dia
da Mulher. "I got a beautiful bouquet of roses
on Women’s Day."
mimo "small gift"
I really like this word, mimo. It sounds so
Brazilian to me. You can say
É só um mimo. "It's just a small gift."
It’s just a mimo, you know, it’s just
to make the person happy. É só um mimo.
direitos femininos "women's rights"
Actually on Women's Day we should celebrate
women's right because you can see all the
changes that happen in the last years for
women that didn't have the space companies
or business, and now they have more space
and more equality, but still there's a long
way to go.
Aquela advogada luta pelos direitos das mulheres.
"That lawyer fights for women’s rights."
Dilma Rousseff "Dilma Rousseff (first female
president of Brazil, elected in 2011)"
Dilma was the first female president of Brazil,
we also had a female candidate, Mariana Silva
was also one of the big contenders for 2011
elections. But you can see women are trying
to get to the top in Brazil, too.
Dilma foi a primeira presidente mulher do
Brasil. "Dilma was the first female president
of Brazil."
That’s the end, thanks a lot for watching.
I hope you enjoy our video! Don't forget to
give a hug, or a gift, or a chocolate to your friends,
your female friends.
And see you next time, bye-bye, tchau!
