Obrigado!
The reason I wanted these words is that I'm trying to remember a conversation I had with a group of women, long ago on a Brazilian Amazon boat. I spoke English and a bit of Spanish, the women only spoke Portuguese; and yet I understood what they were saying quite well.
The gist of what they were saying is that they were amazed that I was travelling alone, without a brother, a father, or a husband; that I was not married yet and didn't have a fiance; that my father allowed me to go off alone like that; and they were offering me their own sons and brothers in marriage!
I'm writing this scene for a memoir, and I wanted to see if it is crediblle for me, knowing only Spanish, to understand what they were saying; and indeed, it is. Many of the words/expressions are very similar.
I don't know wha I was worried about. After all, I DID underrstand them at the time!
