My wife just asked me to translate this from English to Portuguese.
'What?', I said.
Turns out, 'Juweet' = 'did you eat?'
Oh. And we say it all the time. True.
It reminded me of the many, many confusing Portuguese language-transformations /convolutions that I hear every day. If you're trying to get to an advanced Portuguese level, you need to get phrasing like these examples.
Let's break-some-down:
deixa eu ver ➜ xo-vê
quero ir embora ➜ queimbora
vamos embora ➜ bora
vocês viram? ➜ cêsviram?
você ligou? ➜ cêligo?
o que é que ela falou? ➜ Que-que ele falou?
para eu ver ➜ pr'euvê
