Medical Words & Phrases in Portuguese
Here’s a list of Portuguese words and phrases in case you ever need to make an appointment or go to a Hospital in Portugal. If not, maybe you’re a nurse, doctor, and so on who’s learning the language to better communicate with your Portuguese patients.
Or maybe you’re a writer that has a character that’s Portuguese or visiting Portugal and you need this for your story. Either way, I hope this will help in some way.

I learned a new word recently!
Mimado/mimada = spoiled
How to use it in a sentence:
That child is spoiled. = Aquela criança é mimada.
The dog is so spoiled. = O cão é tão mimado.
It’s not a major achievement, but I am one step closer to being able to spoil a dog in Portuguese and that’s all that really matters.
LGBTQ+ Vocab in Turkish
This list was actually kinda hard to make, since the community faces a lot of bigotry in Turkey and many people can’t openly identify with specific labels, even on the internet! (And those who do tend to use the English names). Oh, also, this list is translated from @langsandlit‘s Italian list! Under the cut, because this ended up being SUPER long!

Differences between Brazilian and European Portuguese Pronunciation
Fun fact: the Italian words uccidere “to kill” and occidente “West” are cognate and share the same kad-/ked- Indo-European root, one meaning to “to cut into pieces, to kill” and the other “to fall, to plummet, to die”.
While uccidere (from occīdere) refers to the literal act of killing something or someone, occidente (from occĭdere) “West” refers figuratively to the death, namely the fall, of the sun that’s dying at the horizon.
Being fluent in a language and understanding everything is great and all but I really love those little moments of happiness when you’re still a beginner in a language and you happen to understand just one word of that song or podcast you’re listening to

Hoje em quarentena, estudei os demomstrativos .... muito chato, mas informativo e útil.
Fillers words are those small interruptions we put in our sentences whenever we talk. Mostly shunned upon when writing papers, or giving speeches, but in casual conversations it pops up all the time.
There are times where I just end up saying, “um,” “like,” “uhh,” and so on. You know, things like that and was curious how I can also transfer that blank state of mind in another language.
Well, that and it gives you time while you’re thinking of the right words for your target language. It sounds more natural than saying the English filler words and it won’t confuse the native speakers as much.
These are the filler words in the languages I’m learning:
SPANISH
Pues – Well
A ver – Let’s see
Digo – I say
O sea – I mean
Entonces – So/therefore
Asi que – So/therefore
Bueno – Well

JAPANESE
えーと [eeto] – Umm
あのう [ano] – Well/say

Vediamo un po’ – Let me see
Siccome – Seeing as/since
Visto che – Seeing as

Короче – Bla-bla-bla, long story short

Programmers are the greatest browsing community (SO mostly)…We can singlehandedly save the planet.
I use Ecosia and let me tell you, Google has nothing on this search engine.
It’s easy to free up your cache and delete cookies. The option is immediately viewable in settings instead of hidden away in the alcoves of who knows where.
Unless you favorite a page, it automatically clears it after 7 days, which is awesome if you hate clearing tabs like I do.
They plant trees everywhere.
Ecosia updates you on their progress- not with annoying update notifications, but with a button you can click as you type up your search if you’re curious.
The tree count is shown just beneath the search bar.
It is an app too and only takes up 18.2 MB. That’s the equivalent of nine live pictures on your phone.
You can view your own tree count. Mine’s 2,475 trees. I have had the app for six months. Do you know how much acreage that is? It’s a heckin’ ton of acres.
It has a safe search mode that actually works.
It’s true!
Boosting because this looks really cool! It doesn’t have the wildcard capabilities I need for my job, so I probably can’t use it that much, but maybe others can!
