Brazilian memes, né minha filha?

[fafofablogueira]

We'll start with one that represents me trying to learn French, Nazaré's meme - meme da Nazaré.

Nazaré is the villain of the soap opera Senhora do Destino (2004), the soap itself is very famous for its history, because Nazaré steals a baby and is known for pushing people off the stairs. But the meme in question is your own confusion, when you don't understand something and you start calculating various hypotheses inside your own head. "Tô só o meme da Nazaré" - "I'm just Nazaré's meme" - you say when something seems very confusing and complex.

The second is a meme that can NOT be used as a grammar class. "É verdade esse bilhete" - something like "This note is true" - was used for the first time by a 6-year-old boy who forged a note from the teacher to his parents, in an attempt not to go to school. "Dear parents, tomorrow there will be no class because it could be a holiday. Signed: Aunt Paulinha. This note is true" - "Senhores pais, amanhã não vai ter aula porque pode ser feriado. Assinado: Tia Paulinha. É verdade esse bilhete" (I corrected the spelling mistakes, I don't want to teach you the wrong things haha).

So, every time you say something that's not a lot of truth you can write "this note is true" at the end. "Tomorrow I start the diet. This note is true", "Bolsonaro is the best president that Brazil has ever had. This note is true". Understood?

Here is an example, "One day I'm going to sleep all night. Signed: your baby in the future. This note is true" - Um dia eu vou dormir a noite inteira. Assinado: seu bebê no futuro. É verdade esse bilhete.

Third: this is a little old and at the time I thought it was a lot funnier than it is today.

We have two girls here, one sings a funk (Toda gostosa - Mc Leozinho) and the other dance. She's a good dancer, isn't she? "Eita, Geovanna" - says the little girl. "Eita" is a regional expression and can be used as a surprise, like "Jeez".

"Mother, the 'little' oven fell! Geovanna hung there in the 'little' oven and he fell", the mother enters saying "That's right, that's right, hang it!" and the little girl ends up "guys, sorry, sorry, sorry, cut!". At the time it was used when you received news that impacted you, shocked you "my little oven fell" - meu forninho caiu.

Of course I will also leave the song here for you!

Fourth: A reporter went to a school to interview the children.

_ My dream came true - said the girl

_ What is this dream?

_ My dream is to have a big school, full of chairs in front of each other... And my dream has come true!

_ Great! So, what are you feeling on that first day?

_ I'm feeling... Adorable!

Yes, the meme is just the little girl who is totally eloquent for her age, feeling adorable. It's cute, I have no more explanation.

We have many memes with children, MANY. Children crying, children falling, screaming... In this video we have the last case,

_ What is this animal doing here, guys?

_ We found it on the street.

_ Return him to the street!

_ No, we will give it to you... as a gift.

_ No, thank you very much, I don't want to.

And the child screams: "NO, WE WILL GIVE HIM TO YOU" - NÃO, A GENTE VAI TE DAR.

In that one, she got kind of stuck. "OH MERCY! And now? I'm stuck, call my mom, call my mom, CALL MOM, KETELEN, GO!" - AI MISERICÓRDIA! E agora? Eu tô presa, chama a minha mãe, chama a minha mãe, CHAMA A MAMÃE, KETELEN, VAI!

Sometimes life holds us back, right?

Here, she's tired, angry: "1, 2, 3 it's over! It's over for today! End of story".

Now, if you want to know what she literally said: "1, 2, 3, it gave! It gave for today! It gave history" - Um, dois, três, deu por hoje! Deu de história! - doesn't make much sense, right? In short: “it's enough!”.

Fifth: this one is very recent, the Communist Bugs Bunny meme - meme do Pernalonga Comunista - is used when something private is considered collective.

For example: "Hi princess, how was your day?" "This is her boyfriend" "How was OUR princess' day?" and another "Me: where's my charger? My family: OUR charger"

Sixth: Pica-Pau has always been an icon in Brazil. So there is no shortage of memes.

"These people invent everything" or literally "these people invent each thing". "I was duped" tapeado like cheated, deceived. I don't really know how to translate this, sorry.

And the last one, wipe - passar pano. It can mean more than one thing, (1) it may be covering up someone, (2) when you decide to ignore that person's mistake and continue to support him - todo mundo erra / everyone makes mistakes - (3) or even when you totally agree with what a person says, then you "passa pano".

Seventh: Enfim, a hipocrisia. Well, this is about the contradictions of our life.

"On YouTube it says that the recipe is in 5 minutes, but the video is half an hour. Anyway, the hypocrisy" and "she's short and says: 'when I was little'. Anyway, the hypocrisy".

Eighth: Chico Buarque's meme - meme do Chico Buarque - can be used with anything, literally. This is the cover of a very old album (if you think that today the singer is 76 years old) and is used for opposite situations. Chico happy and Chico serious.

For example: "Refrigerator full. Refrigerator empty".

Ninth: similar to the previous one, TV presenter Faustão has many quality memes. This one is used to represent what you say and what you think / feel deep inside.

"Then your friend says that she supports Bolsonaro. I respect your opinion kkk" - and an offense that I will not translate. Another: "the month is already ending. It will be half the year and I haven't done anything yet".

Like the previous one: Joelma, when you pretend to be sad and deep down you are happy.

She has a band, so please listen to Dançando Calypso, one of the songs I tried to dance as a child (Yeah, I had a weird childhood).

Tenth: Memes with phrases

I wouldn't be a good Brazilian if I didn't bring her, the queen of memes: Gretchen. It's hard to choose, because she has hundreds (literally) and we usually use them as WhatsApp stickers.

"I was sent to this planet to suffer", "don't count on me for nothing", "okay, you said everything friend" (like, totally agree with what you said, girl) and "I decree friendship end immediately".

And sad cats. "Oh, but it was not the Brazilians who created it!" yes, this is true, but it's very famous here, also as stickers.
