In English we talk about a “proud papa” and in Portuguese with call somebody a “papai coruja”. “Coruja” is the word for “owl” and isn’t that a beautiful way to describe somebody who looks like he is proud. In today’s lesson we learn how to talk about being excited for things.
| A: | Sabe o que eu não esperava dessa gravidez? You know what I never expected from this pregnancy? | |
| B: | Os pés inchados? Swollen feet? | |
| A: | Bom, isso também! Não, é o quanto o Eduardo ficou carinhoso. Well, that too! No, it’s how endearing Eduardo has become. | |
| B: | É, eu vi ele passando a mão na sua barriga, eu achei tão lindo. Yes, I saw him rubbing his hand on your stomach, I thought it was beautiful. | |
| A: | E ele fica conversando com o bebê o tempo todo. And he keeps on talking to the baby all the time. | |
| B: | Nossa, sabe que o Nelson era assim também, era tão legal. Wow, you know that Nelson was the same way, it was so cool. | |
| A: | Realmente é legal ver um homem que curta a gravidez tanto. It’s really cool to see a man that enjoys the pregnancy so much. | |
| B: | Papai coruja, né? E o bebê nem nasceu ainda! Proud papa, you know? And the baby hasn’t even been born yet! |
