The Proclamation of the Republic (Portuguese: Proclamação da República do Brasil) was a military coup  that established the First Brazilian Republic on November 15, 1889. It overthrew the constitutional monarchy of the Empire of Brazil and ended the reign of Emperor Pedro II.

The proclamation of the Republic took place in Rio de Janeiro, then capital of the Empire of Brazil, when a group of military officers of the Brazilian Army, led by Marshal Deodoro da Fonseca, staged a coup d’état without the use of violence, deposing Emperor Pedro II and the President of the Council of Ministers of the Empire, the Viscount of Ouro Preto.

A provisional government was established that same day, November 15, with Marshal Deodoro da Fonseca as President of the Republic and head of the interim Government.

Portions in Portuguese:

André sings “Bossa RLP!, by André Barbosa” (feat. Guilherme on the guitar):

RLP, você vai aprender! (o que?) Eu vou aprender o português do Brasil!

Com o RLP, você vai aprender o português do Brasil!

Guilherme’s example:

Guilherme, eu preciso que você arrume a casa o quanto antes, pois os seus avós estão chegando!

André’s example:

Preciso aprender a falar espanhol bem, o quanto antes!

Portions in Portuguese:

André sings “Ai!, by André Barbosa” (feat. Guilherme on the guitar):

Ai! Você furou os meus olhos! Não tenho nem dinheiro pra pagar o relógio!

Ai! Meus olhos você furou! Pegou minha mina na saída do metrô!

André’s example:

Cara você tá furando meus olhos! Não dá pra baixar o preço aí, não? Dar um descontinho?

André's rap:

The original rap song "Alívio, by Apocalipse 16 and RZO" (the part I sang is at 2:16).

Let’s say that something bad happens to someone as a result of something he / she did. In Portuguese, it is common to use expressions such as “bem feito!“, “bem feito pra você!“, “pega, abestado“, “toma, seu leso“, “acho é pouco!“, “vai, seu besta“, “ché poco!”.

Usually, we use expressions like this to show the person that he deserves what happened to him, who knows how he learns a lesson and avoids making the same mistake again.

Portions in Portuguese:

Guilherme: Bem feito! Quem mandou você não ter ouvido antes?

André: OK, beleza. É isso aí gente!

Some people on reddit made the valid point that the correct spelling is “”zoar””. I agree with that but I also think that the form “zuar” should be learnt even in writing as my experience as a Brazilian using and seeing this expression being used tells me that people use the form “zuar” much more than zoar. I also believe that all languages are alive and are can undergo changes, accept new ways of orthography and new words. Your’s truly, André.

Portions in Portuguese:

André: Guilherme, cê gosta muito de ficar vendo cara forte né, velho? Vídeo de cara forte…

Guilherme: Hahaha! Ô cara… já vai começar?

André: Haha, cê adora ver vídeo de cara forte né?

Guilherme: Não, não… Não gosto não!

Guilherme’s example:

Essa é a situação: eu cheguei no trabalho com uma roupa estranha, e aí o André me viu e começou a me zuar.

Então eu disse: Ah, cara! Eu mal cheguei e você já vai me zuar?”

In this conversation André talked with Rita, who has lived in the city of São Paulo for over 35 years. They share opinions about what’s good and bad about the city.

The commercial we mention in the podcast:

Portions in Portuguese:

Guilherme: Por exemplo: Um amigo chega numa roda de conversa e diz: “E aí galera, tudo bem com vocês?”.

Aí um dos amigos mais descolados diz: “Tá suave, cara…”

This is part 2 of the conversation André and Guilherme had about André’s wedding, vacations and resting.
