Wacky Haiku Wednesday III

Let's keep going with our adventures in code-switching!

 

Any idea what a cross between Portuguese & English is called?  Portuglish?  Engliguese?

Either way, we are sailing right along.

 

Destination: Port Eng

 By the way, for those of you who are averse to puns, feel free to penalize me with a noogie per pun, in case we meet in person one day. ;) There. Now I'm guilt free.

Weigh anchor, shipmates. We're off!

Que divertido!

(...a fun, but renegade path,

eu concordo.)

 



"Que divertido!"  =  "What fun!" ... or   "How fun!"

• Que [pronounced: "key"] means what.
• divertido [pronounced: "jee-vehr-chee-doh"] means fun.

"Eu concordo." = "I agree."

• Eu [pronounced: "ay-yo"] means I.
• concordo [pronounced: "cone/cohn-core-doh"] means agree.

 

I hope ye enjoyed this trip on th' high seas o' fun, tho we did come a wee close t' crackin' up on th' shores o' insanity. `Tis all in good fun, tho, an' I wager that we be sailin' straight enough t' eliminate any learnin' curve.

 

Can you tell I missed out on International Talk Like a Pirate Day this year? Ye nay be sure ye signed up fer this, arrrr ye? Don`t ye worry. Me inner searfarin' hearty only surfaces but a few times a voyage. [That'd be a year for you landlubbers.]

 

 Until the next one, mateys...

Wacky Haiku Wednesday II

As we boldly go where no hack has gone before, we continue on with haiku that combine American English and Brazilian Portuguese.

Monkey Pirates in a Storm by Hayes Roberts
I have been a fan of his art for a long time!
Check out more of his wonderful works of art at bluebison.net.



Moving right along
aprendendo português...
Legal (or cool), né?

"aprendendo português" = "learning Portuguese"

• Aprendendo [pronounced: "Ah-prehn-dehn-doh"]


• português [pronounced: "poor-*too-gaze"]
  (*the T is said with a dental stop)

"Legal, né?" = "Cool, huh?" or "Cool, isn't it?"

• Legal [pronounced: "leh-gal"]


• **né [pronounced: "neh"]

**Né is a slang contraction of não é [pronounced: (nasally) "now - eh"]
which means "isn't it."


Although we've only just begun, Wacky Haiku Wednesdays will be on hiatus until July 18th. While camping along the Araguaia River, I will use my downtime to compose a slew of haiku which I will unleash on you when I return.

I'd love to see any of yours, as well! Feel free to contribute to the July 18th installment of Wacky Haiku Wednesdays. (Please remember to keep it clean, folks!)

See you then!
