Traduções não literais
Aqui aprenderemos algumas frases comuns do dia a dia.
É importante saber que nem sempre as frases são traduzidas palavra por palavra de uma língua para outra. Às vezes, uma expressão significa algo bem diferente das palavras sozinhas.
Vamos ver, por exemplo, as expressões de agradecimento:
Se traduzirmos "you are welcome" ao pé da letra, teremos "você é bem vindo", mas como expressão, é a resposta que se usa em inglês quando alguém nos agradece: "de nada".
Há duas formas comuns de agradecimento:
Bom dia, boa tarde e boa noite
Em inglês as expressões são:
Português | Inglês | Explicação |
---|---|---|
Bom dia | Good morning | "Morning" significa "manhã", mas essa é a expressão para "bom dia" |
Boa tarde | Good afternoon | - |
Boa noite | Good evening | Usada no início da noite, para introdução |
Boa noite | Good night | Usada no final da noite, para despedida |
Quando usar "no" and "not"?
Na maioria dos casos, no é usado antes de substantivos, quando significa nenhum.
Já not é empregado para tornar negativa uma palavra, frase ou oração.
Exemplos:
Eles são homens.
Eu não tenho dinheiro.

Os países e os artigos
Em inglês, a grande maioria dos nomes de países, cidades, estados e continentes não usa artigos.
Não se diz, por exemplo "The France". Diz-se apenas "France (A França)".
As exceções acontecem quando os nomes são substantivos normais, como esses exemplos:
Tirado as exceções, nomes próprios, mesmo que não sejam países, não usam artigos.
Algumas expressões confusas
"have been to"
Essa expressão, quando conjugada, significa literalmente "(eu) estive em", "(ele) esteve em", etc.
Mas muitas vezes ela é usada com o significado de "você foi ao Brasil?"
"to be abroad"
A palavra "abroad" não é traduzida com uma palavra exata em Português, mas seu significado é "fora do país":

Atenção às palavras parecidas que podem nos enganar:
Em inglês, muitos termos para descrever parentes possuem gênero, diferente da maioria dos outros substantivos, pois são diretamente ligados a seres humanos.
Assim, temos por exemplo palavras específicas para "irmão" e "irmã":
Entre outros...
Mas cuidado! No plural, alguns deles continuam sendo exclusivamente do mesmo gênero.
Ao dizer "fathers", por exemplo, você está dizendo "pais", mas não no sentido de "pai e mãe" e sim no sentido de "pais homens". Para dizer "pais" no sentido de "pai e mãe", usa-se "parents".
Veja alguns exemplos:
Mothers = mães
Fathers = pais (somente homens!)
Parents = pais (pais e mães)
Sisters = irmãs
Brothers = irmãos (somente homens!)
Siblings = irmãos (irmãos e irmãs)
Daughters = filhas
Sons = filhos (somente homens!)
Children = filhos (filhos e filhas)

As comidas e o verbo "to have"
Para comer e beber, o inglês tem dois verbos bem claros:
Mas existem outras formas de dizer "comer/beber" em inglês...
Nas lições anteriores, aprendemos que o "have" significa "ter/possuir". Mas este é um verbo muito versátil, ele tem várias funções. Quando é usado com comidas, também pode significar comer/beber, além de "ter/possuir":
Beef não é bife? - Falsos cognatos
Beef e bife são o que chamamos falsos cognatos, false friends em inglês. São palavras com ortografia semelhante, mas significados diferentes. Normalmente elas têm a mesma origem, como o latim, por exemplo.
Assim, beef refere-se à carne bovina de vaca/de boi, carne vermelha. Mas se você quiser pedir um bife em um restaurante em um país de língua inglesa, você deverá usar a palavra steak.
Então:
Inclusive, existe até a combinação beefsteak, que significa bife de carne bovina.
Outro exemplo legal é lunch, que significa almoço:

Quando o assunto é "roupas", os verbos em inglês funcionam da seguinte maneira:
O nosso verbo "vestir" pode significar tanto "usar" quanto "colocar". Em inglês, "usar" e "colocar" uma roupa são traduzidos com dois verbos diferentes.
Para dizer que alguém está "usando" uma roupa, usa-se o verbo "to wear". Ele pode ser traduzido como "usar" ou "vestir", mas não "colocar".
Já para "colocar/botar", usa-se "to put on", que serve para "vestir", mas não para "usar":
Em inglês, o verbo "to use" existe, mas não serve para "roupas", a menos que você esteja "utilizando" esta roupa para alguma coisa diferente de vestir:
.
Existem alguns substantivos em inglês, assim como também existem em português, que são sempre usados no plural.
O substantivo "clothes" (roupas) é um deles:
A palavra "cloth" existe, mas com outro significado: "pano" ou "tecido".
Outros substantivos que estão sempre no plural:

Quando se trata de instrumentos musicais, o inglês possui um comportamento um pouco diferente quanto aos artigos.
Para certos instrumentos, como "piano", "flute", "guitar" e "violin", por exemplo, é muito mais comum usar o artigo definido "the" nas frases, mesmo se o significado for geral.
Então, as seguintes traduções estão corretas, embora não pareçam:
Claro que, as traduções em português usando o artigo não estão erradas. Em português escolhemos usar o artigo se o instrumento for específico, e deixamos sem artigo se for aquele tipo de instrumento em geral.
É permitido em inglês, mas bem menos comum, deixar de usar este artigo.

Cada língua tem suas próprias maneiras de expressar diferentes ideias. É isso que as torna únicas e especiais.
Nesta seção, encontraremos traduções muito subjetivas, que em grande parte dos casos não são traduções diretas. Por serem ditados e expressões populares, em alguns casos a tradução exata pode até não significar absolutamente nada na outra língua.
Por exemplo:
Essa é uma expressão que a maioria dos brasileiros conhece, significa que é caro demais. Mas essa frase traduzida não é nada comum em inglês: "that car costs the eyes from the face".
Em inglês, eles usam uma outra expressão para a mesma ideia:
Assim, em vários casos teremos traduções que não são óbvias, pois o objetivo nesta lição é apresentar as expressões e os ditados populares consagrados em cada língua.
Obs: na unidade de Expressões e Ditados aceitamos também algumas formas de linguagem informal, como "pra", por exemplo. (Mas isto não se aplica ao restante do curso)
As lições de bônus não impedem de continuar com as lições normais da árvore. Normalmente elas possuem coisas que não foram ensinadas até agora no curso. Se estiver muito complicado, você pode pular e tentar mais tarde.

Traduções não literais
Aqui aprenderemos algumas frases comuns do dia a dia.
É importante saber que nem sempre as frases são traduzidas palavra por palavra de uma língua para outra. Às vezes, uma expressão significa algo bem diferente das palavras sozinhas.
Vamos ver, por exemplo, as expressões de agradecimento:
Se traduzirmos "you are welcome" ao pé da letra, teremos "você é bem vindo", mas como expressão, é a resposta que se usa em inglês quando alguém nos agradece: "de nada".
Há duas formas comuns de agradecimento:
Bom dia, boa tarde e boa noite
Em inglês as expressões são:
Português | Inglês | Explicação |
---|---|---|
Bom dia | Good morning | "Morning" significa "manhã", mas essa é a expressão para "bom dia" |
Boa tarde | Good afternoon | - |
Boa noite | Good evening | Usada no início da noite, para introdução |
Boa noite | Good night | Usada no final da noite, para despedida |
Quando usar "no" and "not"?
Na maioria dos casos, no é usado antes de substantivos, quando significa nenhum.
Já not é empregado para tornar negativa uma palavra, frase ou oração.
Exemplos:
Eles são homens.
Eu não tenho dinheiro.
.
Os países e os artigos
Em inglês, a grande maioria dos nomes de países, cidades, estados e continentes não usa artigos.
Não se diz, por exemplo "The France". Diz-se apenas "France (A França)".
As exceções acontecem quando os nomes são substantivos normais, como esses exemplos:
Tirado as exceções, nomes próprios, mesmo que não sejam países, não usam artigos.
Algumas expressões confusas
"have been to"
Essa expressão, quando conjugada, significa literalmente "(eu) estive em", "(ele) esteve em", etc.
Mas muitas vezes ela é usada com o significado de "você foi ao Brasil?"
"to be abroad"
A palavra "abroad" não é traduzida com uma palavra exata em Português, mas seu significado é "fora do país":
Atenção às palavras parecidas que podem nos enganar:
Em inglês, muitos termos para descrever parentes possuem gênero, diferente da maioria dos outros substantivos, pois são diretamente ligados a seres humanos.
Assim, temos por exemplo palavras específicas para "irmão" e "irmã":
Entre outros...
Mas cuidado! No plural, alguns deles continuam sendo exclusivamente do mesmo gênero.
Ao dizer "fathers", por exemplo, você está dizendo "pais", mas não no sentido de "pai e mãe" e sim no sentido de "pais homens". Para dizer "pais" no sentido de "pai e mãe", usa-se "parents".
Veja alguns exemplos:
Mothers = mães
Fathers = pais (somente homens!)
Parents = pais (pais e mães)
Sisters = irmãs
Brothers = irmãos (somente homens!)
Siblings = irmãos (irmãos e irmãs)
Daughters = filhas
Sons = filhos (somente homens!)
Children = filhos (filhos e filhas)
As comidas e o verbo "to have"
Para comer e beber, o inglês tem dois verbos bem claros:
Mas existem outras formas de dizer "comer/beber" em inglês...
Nas lições anteriores, aprendemos que o "have" significa "ter/possuir". Mas este é um verbo muito versátil, ele tem várias funções. Quando é usado com comidas, também pode significar comer/beber, além de "ter/possuir":
Beef não é bife? - Falsos cognatos
Beef e bife são o que chamamos falsos cognatos, false friends em inglês. São palavras com ortografia semelhante, mas significados diferentes. Normalmente elas têm a mesma origem, como o latim, por exemplo.
Assim, beef refere-se à carne bovina de vaca/de boi, carne vermelha. Mas se você quiser pedir um bife em um restaurante em um país de língua inglesa, você deverá usar a palavra steak.
Então:
Inclusive, existe até a combinação beefsteak, que significa bife de carne bovina.
Outro exemplo legal é lunch, que significa almoço:
Quando o assunto é "roupas", os verbos em inglês funcionam da seguinte maneira:
O nosso verbo "vestir" pode significar tanto "usar" quanto "colocar". Em inglês, "usar" e "colocar" uma roupa são traduzidos com dois verbos diferentes.
Para dizer que alguém está "usando" uma roupa, usa-se o verbo "to wear". Ele pode ser traduzido como "usar" ou "vestir", mas não "colocar".
Já para "colocar/botar", usa-se "to put on", que serve para "vestir", mas não para "usar":
Em inglês, o verbo "to use" existe, mas não serve para "roupas", a menos que você esteja "utilizando" esta roupa para alguma coisa diferente de vestir:
.
Existem alguns substantivos em inglês, assim como também existem em português, que são sempre usados no plural.
O substantivo "clothes" (roupas) é um deles:
A palavra "cloth" existe, mas com outro significado: "pano" ou "tecido".
Outros substantivos que estão sempre no plural:
Quando se trata de instrumentos musicais, o inglês possui um comportamento um pouco diferente quanto aos artigos.
Para certos instrumentos, como "piano", "flute", "guitar" e "violin", por exemplo, é muito mais comum usar o artigo definido "the" nas frases, mesmo se o significado for geral.
Então, as seguintes traduções estão corretas, embora não pareçam:
Claro que, as traduções em português usando o artigo não estão erradas. Em português escolhemos usar o artigo se o instrumento for específico, e deixamos sem artigo se for aquele tipo de instrumento em geral.
É permitido em inglês, mas bem menos comum, deixar de usar este artigo.
Cada língua tem suas próprias maneiras de expressar diferentes ideias. É isso que as torna únicas e especiais.
Nesta seção, encontraremos traduções muito subjetivas, que em grande parte dos casos não são traduções diretas. Por serem ditados e expressões populares, em alguns casos a tradução exata pode até não significar absolutamente nada na outra língua.
