@speaklikeyourself.bsky.socialSaid the wrong thing? Fix it mid-sentence with 'quer dizer', used like 'I mean'. 'Fui ontem, quer dizer, anteontem.' Correcting yourself this way sounds fluent, not clumsy.

@speaklikeyourself.bsky.social'Nossa!' is the all-purpose Brazilian 'wow', for surprise, shock, or awe. 'Nossa, que calor!', 'Nossa, sério?'. It comes from 'Nossa Senhora', but now it just means wow.
