Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. If someone tells you "seu carro esta pulando", what do they mean?

Answer: Your car is bouncing.

If your car is bouncing, watch out because either it is possessed or it has some defect. The Portuguese word "carro" is similar to the English "car". Both originate from Latin "carra" (pl. of "carrus").
2. If someone gave you "armario cheio de luzes", what would you get?

Answer: Closet full of light.

"Armario cheio de luzes" isn't something you would regularly hear on the streets. You can't have a closet full of light, unless you have plenty of light bulbs in there ;).
3. If "seu gato está com sapatos", what exactly does it mean?

Answer: Your cat has shoes on.

"Your cat is holding shoes" would be "Seu gato está segurando sapatos". "Your cat is on top of shoes" would be "Seu gato está em cima de sapatos". "Your cat is without shoes" would be "Seu gato está sem sapatos."
4. "Seu barco está desenhando chapéus" means what?

Answer: Your boat is drawing hats.

Your boat is drawing hats. If your boat is drawing hats, then you've got a problem. The word "chapéus" is one of the most frequently misspelled words in the Portuguese language (usually with an "l" at the end).
5. What does "You've got ants in your pants" mean in Portuguese?

Answer: Tem formigas em suas calcas.

"Forgitas" is made up. "Cuecas" means underwear, rather than pants.
6. From now on, a few regular words. What does "vinho" mean?

Answer: wine

"Vinho" means wine. There are a few similar words in Portuguese, which have completely different meaning, for instance "vino" that means sausage, and "venho" that means "I am coming" or "I am going".
7. What does the Portuguese word "canudo" mean?

Answer: tube

"Canudo" means tube, or any long hollow device used for transporting liquid.
8. When you say "faca" in Portuguese, what do you mean?

Answer: knife

The Portuguese word for knife is "faca". The names of other utensils: "garfo" - fork, and "colher" - spoon.
9. What is the Portuguese word for the animal called a "pig" in English?

Answer: porco/a

"Porco/a" is of the same origin as the English noun "pork". It can also be used as an insult. "Porcada" is a party or an event where pork is being served. "Porquetta" and "por" don't exist in Portuguese.
10. The word "bisavó" means what?

Answer: great grandmother

"Bisavó" can actually mean both great grandmother and great grandfather, depending on what accent you put over the "o". If you put "^", it means great grandfather. Spelled "bisavó" it means great grandmother.
