Portuguese phrases to use at the parks.

[Teacher510]

Well, today is your lucky day!
You have here an autentic Brazilian girl
I'm from Rio de Janeiro and i think I can help you guys.

First of all, I hope I don't see anything rude about brazilians, 'cause i can asure you not all of us are like the ones you complain about. I'm really sorry about the huge and annoying teenager groups.

I'm 17, and went to Disney with my friends in one of those groups for my 15th birthday. (kind of Sweet Sixteen mixed with Quinceañera) And something I can tell you with no doubt: there's was no chanting and singing all the time, most of us spoke at least a pretty decent english (I've graduated and I have a Cambrigde Certificate in Advanced English) and THERE WAS NO CUTTING LINES! NO WAY!! NEVER!! I believe some brazilian teens are bad behaved, but i just can't understand it Sorry about not giving an explanation about that.

Off we go with the translations
It is really hard to explain how to say it, but I'll try. The syllables in Bold are the strong ones.

Hello.
Oi (/oy/) or Olá (/olah/)

Excuse me.
Com licença (/com leescensa)

Please.
Por favor (/pour fahvour/)



These two are gonna be difficult so I'll try to make it easier for you guys:


You may not break in line.
Você não pode furar fila
/Voce nau pode foolrar filla./
Vo.ce (as in vocal and cedar) nau (as in nautical) po.de (as in polen and desire)
fool.rar (as is in rare) fill.a

Have a magical day.
Tenha um dia mágico
Tenya hm dia magicol
Te.nya ( te as in table) hm dia (as in diablo) magicol (like magical but with an "o" sound at the end)


I hope this helps

How cute are you!

[DrDeb]

[livndisney]

I am just going to tell them NO! in Japanese and Chinese

 

[bell.of.the.ball]

Okay, maybe it's not Portuguese. But I'm sure people will understand it.

More important where did you get that shirt. My huband has that on his ipod and would love that shirt

I got it at one of the monorail resorts. I don't remember exactly which one but they all had them. They also sold them in the Emporium on Main Street.

Well if your line jumper is an Argentine, they say "prego" for excuse me.

And if the person being cut in front of is Italian, "Prego" in that situation would mean "Please go before me". I could see it now....The Argentinian saying "let me through" and the Italian thinking this person is saying "Go in front of me".

I know a few choice phrases in Welsh, that should confuse almost anyone. In fact even place names from Wales said with attitude should stop the tour groups in there tracks, eg Llanerchymedd, Llangollen, Penmaenmawr, Amlwch and the ultimate Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch if anybody argues with that one I'd give up and give them the bird instead.

Wow! Thanks so much. I have been away on vacation for July 4th (Independance Day in America) or I would have responded sooner!

 

[LittleStinkerbelle]

May I ask why you're singling out Portuguese-speakers?

 

[Lorelai]

I got it at one of the monorail resorts. I don't remember exactly which one but they all had them. They also sold them in the Emporium on Main Street.

I have to get one of those! How long ago did you purchase it? Are we talking within the last year, or so?

 

[Brian_WDW74]

Yes. I got it last December.

 

[Anelise]

You're welcome!

 

[suzimar57]

love that t-shirt - gotta get me one of those in december!!!

 

[jngwright]

They still had the shirts in May-I saw them everywhere.

I bet you could call WDW and order one if you can't wait until December AND I bet someone here will know that phone number

Have a good evening everyone!

Oh-to answer the question about Portugese speakers being singled out-I believe it is because the infamous Brazilian Tour Groups speak Portugese. Is the search function working? I never have much luck with it. Anyway-there are a million bazillion threads about Brazilian Tour Groups!

 

[Alesia]

May I ask why you're singling out Portuguese-speakers?

Because Brazilian tour groups have a terrible reputation for cutting in line and being rude in general.

I'm not sure that they are really any worse than teenagers from anywhere else, they just travel in enormous groups, so they are much more obvious.
