| POST |
| John: Listen again to Eduardo's post. |
| Ana Clara: Ganhei um ingresso VIP! Alguém por aqui no sambódromo? |
| John: "I won a VIP ticket! Anyone here in the sambadrome? " |
| Ana Clara: (SLOW) Ganhei um ingresso VIP! Alguém por aqui no sambódromo? (Regular) Ganhei um ingresso VIP! Alguém por aqui no sambódromo? |
| John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "I won a VIP ticket!" |
| Ana Clara: Ganhei um ingresso VIP! |
| John: In Brazil, the VIP abbreviation is the same as in English. The difference is that isn't pronounced as three independent letters. Instead, you say it as a whole word; it sounds like “veeh-pee." The whole phrase means "I won a VIP ticket." Listen again- "I won a VIP ticket" is... |
| Ana Clara: (SLOW) Ganhei um ingresso VIP! (REGULAR) Ganhei um ingresso VIP! |
| John: Then comes the phrase - "Someone around, someone here / at the sambadrome." |
| Ana Clara: Alguém por aqui no sambódromo? |
| John: The first part... |
| Ana Clara: Alguém por aqui |
| John: is a less formal, simplification of |
| Ana Clara: tem alguém por aqui? |
| John: meaning "is there, is someone." It's common to omit |
| Ana Clara: tem |
| John: meaning "is there." |
| Ana Clara: Por aqui |
| John: means "around, close-by." And finally, |
| Ana Clara: Sambódromo |
| John: is the sambadrome, where the Carnaval parade takes place. Just like cars have autodromes, samba has the sambadrome. Listen again- "Someone around/ someone here at the sambadrome" is... |
| Ana Clara: (SLOW) Alguém por aqui no sambódromo? (REGULAR) Alguém por aqui no sambódromo? |
| John: All together, it's "I won a VIP ticket! Anyone here in the sambadrome?" |
| Ana Clara: Ganhei um ingresso VIP! Alguém por aqui no sambódromo? |
