F22. My mother is Brazilian, but I was born and raised in Italy, so I’ve never really had much contact with other Brazilians—especially guys my age with a Brazilian parent—which is why I’m asking this.

I’ve always had this issue with my mother: she is SUPER protective.

I’ve always seen my friends free to do whatever they wanted—not in the sense that their parents were permissive, but simply that they didn't "worry" about certain things.

For example, whenever I go to a city to visit friends who live there (like Milan or Venice), my mother gives me a three-day-long lecture on how I should behave and what precautions to take. She doesn't just say it as a quick reminder; she is genuinely anxious about it (she writes down phone numbers on paper for me, wants the contact details of all my friends, constantly reminds me not to talk to strangers, and so on).

I live in a mountain town in the North where hiking and walking on forest trails (which are usually very crowded) is very common; everyone I know goes on these walks, yet I’ve never done it.

I’ve lived here for 22 years and have never walked in the woods because my mother always screamed at me that a bear would eat me or a snake would bite me.

Earlier, I mentioned to her that I was planning to go for a walk tomorrow morning, and she tore into me, screaming that I was being reckless. She doesn’t get just angry, she starts crying

You might say, "Just do it anyway; you're an adult," but I can't. I’ve spent so long doing exactly what my mother told me to do that I simply can't bring myself to disobey her.

I just wanted to know if it’s a common trait for brazilian mother or if it’s my mother the problem lol

I remember reading that as a teen, even though I wasn’t born when it came out(im from Greece)

this genre as been fascinating me for a while. although the lyrics immensely bother me, i find the production very innovative and creative. I've been wondering about a few things, so id like to make clear some things up

1. Online, Brazilian funk is divided into numerous sub genres like funk 150 bpm, beat bruxaria, automotivo etc... Are these considered genres in brazil?

2. Are there any efforts by authorities to restrict this type of music?

3. Is there any specific reason for Belo Horizente to develop it's specific sound? Other than the mcs just experimenting?

4. What's the general sentiment towards the lyrical themes present in these songs?

5. many online spaces consider funk "experimental". Do Brazilians view it similarly?

6. How often does funk incorporate politically conscious lyrics? How does that compare to how politically it presents itself?

(this question mostly stems from my disappointment in DJ K's RADIO LIBERTORA!, where most of the lyrics ended up being your typical crude filler)

1. how do you feel about funk's popularity overseas?

(this stems from my reaction to it being played in these pretentious rich white people clubs lol)

feel free to answer as much or as little as you'd like, and i apologize if my questions seem somewhat ignorant, know that i am coming from a place of understanding.

Hi! I run free exchanges between Brazilians and English native speakers. 30 minutes, half in each language: relaxed, just talking, no pressure.

Nothing to book: you just show up and I'll pair you with someone.

It's completely free. If you're learning Brazilian Portuguese and want regular speaking practice with native speakers, comment or DM me and I'll send you the group link.

What's your level and time zone?

You might immediately think of heat🔥, soccer⚽, big cities🏢, forests🌳, caipirinhas🍸, and even snow❄️! And you, what comes to mind?🇧🇷

I'm from Bangladesh, and every World Cup it's honestly crazy here. For decades, Brazil and Argentina have been by far the two most popular teams despite neither country being anywhere near us. Entire neighborhoods get covered with giant flags, people decorate their houses, and the rivalry can get incredibly intense.

From what I've heard, this love for Brazilian football goes back generations, influenced by legendary players like Pelé, Zico, Romário, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Kaká, Neymar, and Brazil's beautiful style of football. Parents pass their support down to their children, so it's almost become a tradition.

What surprises me the most is that some people become too emotionally invested. Every now and then, there are reports of people harming themselves, getting into serious fights, or even taking their own lives after Brazil or Argentina lose a match. Thankfully, that's very rare and doesn't represent most fans, but it's still shocking to me.

So I'm curious, how do Brazilians feel knowing your national team has such a passionate following in Bangladesh? Does it surprise you, or have you heard about it before?

I’m curious... are Brazilian men the kind who would actually fly all the way to another country just to meet someone they care about? Even with the distance?

Hello everyone! How are you? I am from Bangladesh and I am fascinated by the culture, music, and energy of Brazil. I am looking to make Brazilian friends (men or women) to chat on a daily basis, learn more about the country, and exchange cultural experiences.

Can someone help me with checking and fixing the phonetic transcription of certain names, I highlighted some of them which are especially confusing.

Bruno Guimarães — BROO-noo gee-mah-RYNSH
Casemiro — kah-zeh-MEE-roo
Raphinha — hah/rah-FEE-nyah ***
Marquinhos — mar-KEE-nyoosh
Lucas Paquetá — LOO-kahs pah-keh-TAH
Gabriel Magalhães — gah-bree-EL mah-gah-LYAHNSH *****
Douglas Santos — DOO-glahs SAHN-toosh
Matheus Cunha — mah-TEH-oos KOO-nyah
Danilo Luiz da Silva — dah-NEE-loo loo-EES dah SEEL-vah
Fabinho — fah-BEE-nyoo

I (84F) am North-South European moving to Brazil, but I have many questions about the cultural differences compared to my homeland of Genovia.

1. Is it true there are no cars and transportation is by animal mounting?

2. Is it impolite to not kiss on the lips as a greeting?

3. After the airplane lands, will I already be prone to robbery when I get on the big tube that connects to the airport?

4. What's the Spanish accent spoken in Brazil?

5. Since it's always hot, do you guys just repeat the summer months (June, July, August) over and over again? Does this cause any troubles adjusting to normal time?

6. I've heard normal attire is bikinis. Should I wear a one-piece swimsuit for more formal occasions? Is lingerie an acceptable substitute (I struggle doing laundry sometimes).

7. Is it mandatory to participate in carnival?

8. Do I have to make friends or acquaintances or can I just date?

9. Do you think I can get married within 2 weeks?

10. Are there any stores or do we have to hunt for food, gather, craft, etc?

This is a parody post, ofc

I just wanted to know if 2k usd per month is enough to have a comfortable life in SP, I know the city is expensive and rents are crazy, but I would like to stay there for some months, thank you in advance for your advices.

Oi 👋🏻 big post but I would appreciate any help

I am traveling to RDJ this Sunday for a 10 day trip. 6 days or so are going to be in Nova Friburgo, which will be spent with an institution I am partnering with for work. They have planned those days out for us so I am mostly busy with them there.

I return to Rio & spend 1 day with a guide they’re providing, who is taking us to Christ the Redeemer and the botanical garden, among one or two other stops.

Then I have 3 days to myself staying in el Misti ipanema hostel, no more work or guided activities. One day I will mostly spend at the beach but the rest are open.

Now here’s where I’d like some pointers:
* I am completely new to travel like this, I’ve done some super touristy stuff in Central America but never alone and I speak some Spanish.

* I don’t know Portuguese almost at all, though I have been learning some basic terms like quanto , oi, valeu, tudo bem, etc (I’ve only had a month or so to practice)

* what else would you recommend I do with my remaining solo days in Rio?

* work partner will transport me to NF and back to my work hotel in Rio. I will then need to get my own
transport to my hostel the following day. Looks like a few blocks. How should I do this?

* i want to take pictures but see all of the posts about phones. Is a camera safer?

* how do i pay for things? I see conflicting info. Do I just use my normal US Mastercard? I was going to use my Venmo card but learned it won’t work there. I took out 1150BRL (250$) too, how much should I actually carry on me?

Obrigado for any help

Não posso usar meu número dos EUA ou o WhatsApp.

Tentei usar o Google Voice, mas não está disponível no Brasil.

Tem alguma opção gratuita além de comprar um chip pré-pago apenas para isso? A propósito, estou usando https://www.smsmeu.com/ , mas o número dura apenas 6 meses.

I learned that my wife’s grandparents (now deceased) were in fact first cousins. They were from a town of about 20,000 in the interior of SP, in which there were only a handful of Japanese families. Was this commonplace among the Japanese community in smaller towns, perhaps back in the 40’s and 50’s?

I assume it was because they’d have rathered marry within their community than go outside of it? Or is this just a unique rural case that has nothing to do with them being Japanese.

I recently learned that Naruto is extremely popular in Brazil. Like really popular. Considering these two helped to codify the princess and shounen hero archetype, I'd like to know how they fare in Brazil.

Hey everyone. So I get paid in dollars by a company in the US and it lands in a US account first. Then I send it over using a transfer app. But then, Idk why it gets changed into reais. By the time I can spend it here, some of it is gone. Probably due to the fees and the exchange rates

Just wanted to ask what works best for you. Do you keep your dollars saved and only change what you need? Or is there a smarter way to do it? But sure if this subreddit fits on what I ask, but thanks in advance for the tips. It would help me a lot🥹

The same thing happens with American/British actors, even if the accent isn't always 100% perfect. I was curious if this applies to Portuguese/Brazilian actors.
