Get your free Playbooks at https://cariocaconnection.comIn this episode of Carioca Connection, Alexia and Foster get into three words about pressure and limits, tankar, sem condições, and aura, told entirely in natural Brazilian Portuguese.Alexia is honest that she's never heard anyone say tankar out loud, only online, and she isn't sold on it: it collapses aguentar, suportar, and lidar com into one word when those three feel completely different to her. Sorting them out is the best part of the episode, along with Foster's question about suporte versus apoio, which is the trap every English speaker falls into. Then there's sem condições, which Alexia has said her whole life as a hard no, and which Gen Z now uses for good news too. Aura arrives by way of the World Cup, and neither of them plans to start using it.As always, this episode is full of authentic Brazilian Portuguese that you won't find in textbooks or apps. Enjoy!E agora em português... 🇧🇷Neste episódio do Carioca Connection, Alexia e Foster falam sobre três palavras que têm a ver com pressão e limite, tankar, sem condições e aura, tudo em português brasileiro natural.Alexia admite que nunca ouviu ninguém falar tankar na frente dela, só na internet, e não está convencida: a palavra junta aguentar, suportar e lidar com numa coisa só, e pra ela são três coisas completamente diferentes. Separar isso é a melhor parte do episódio, junto com a pergunta do Foster sobre suporte e apoio, que é onde todo estrangeiro escorrega. Depois vem sem condições, que Alexia usa a vida inteira como um não definitivo, e que a Gen Z agora usa também pra notícia boa. E aura chega pela Copa do Mundo, com os dois avisando que não vão usar.Como sempre, este episódio está cheio de português brasileiro autêntico que você não vai encontrar em livros didáticos ou aplicativos.Aproveite!
