This is the pattern for Brazilians, to say 'no' three times in the sentence. It's not that Valdo and Michelle are negative people, but they sure get their point across. And speaking of their point of view, if YOU invite them to a party, YOU should really pay the tab!DialogPortugueseValdo: Michelle, você não quer ir no aniversário do meu amigo? Vai ser em um restaurante aqui em Austin.Michelle: Não, eu não quero não.Valdo: Por que?
