A thought struck me while listening to Daniela saying: Yes, she doesn’t.
When agreeing with a negative statement do Brazilians use positive words?
Hey Alex, wow you are observant! No, I’d say that you caught Daniela in an moment of anomaly. Portuguese is not like Chinese and Japanese where we are continually misunderstanding yes and no.
That’s good to know. I keep track of these things because my mother tongue allows and uses double negatives, so I’m always looking for analogies between Portuguese and Serbian , as well as Portuguese and English to see which one fits better, and makes it “stick better”.
