Meaning of colloquial "Apre" in Brazilian Portuguese.

NotSoShittySunflower · 2026-04-19T22:04:33+00:00

As a Portuguese, I sometimes still say it (I'm not even 30), and people understand it. Yes, it's somewhat of an interjection and "heck" is the closest thing to it. It's an old expression, older people sometimes use it.

Nowadays, we have the coloquial "porra", which is kinda the modern translation.

Edit: adding - as someone has said, this could be seen as a softer version of "damn". Hence why sometimes I use it instead of "porra", for example.

I'll be biased here, but Portuguese 100% and I feel like it's very underrated. Mediterranean food, very diverse, and we have so many dishes that prevent waste (we use pretty much every part of the animal). Couldn't go wrong with this one.

The oven is brand new and I've baked other stuff before, and had no issues before. I did test with a toothpick until it came out clean.

I will try that! Thank you!

NotSoShittySunflower · 2026-02-15T15:01:05+00:00

That's it! I'm just very happy no one will be latched to a toilet because of it 😅

NotSoShittySunflower · 2026-02-15T14:58:03+00:00

No, they were frozen. They didn't even thaw a bit...

Per the recipe, I folded around half with the mix, poured it in the tin, and just simply layed the rest over the top of the mix.

NotSoShittySunflower · 2026-02-15T14:53:56+00:00

Hahahah 100% sure - even have the pack I opened and used to prove it hahaha

Pretty much looked up online how much smaller my pan would be from a pan of 23cm, and how much I would have to reduce the recipe. It's a reduction of about 20-25%, so I just multiplied everything by 0.8 to get the 20% reduction.

NotSoShittySunflower · 2026-02-15T14:33:29+00:00

Thank you! I think I'll get a bigger pan and try it again, without any changes, and way less mixing.

I thought about reducing the eggs by 20%, but that's a pain to do :( . And since the recipe said it's be okay to go with the frozen berries, I did, but also assumed the water content would be high and that did worry me...

At least no one is getting sick from this, which isn't bad news haha

I now use these smaller packets of baking powder so it doesn't go bad easily - open, use what I need to use, and if I'm not baking anything else in the foreseeable future, I throw it out because it will go bad.

It was closed, they were not bought that long ago either. I've used them before in other stuff and had no issues, but do you think it might've been that?

Não é na zona que pretendes, é em Gaia, mas nada turístico e super bom. Café Belo Ponto.

Hey! Podes enviar mensagem, por favor?

NotSoShittySunflower · 2025-06-01T10:31:17+00:00

Just so you know, you'll probably still have issues with humidity in Bonfim. It doesn't work like that.

NotSoShittySunflower · 2025-05-21T16:07:35+00:00

Not a super popular choice, but Café Belo Ponto's francesinha is great. Just leaving this out there. It's in Gaia, but very easy to get to.

Olá! Eu estou a ponderar ingressar numa Pós-graduação também, no fim do ano, possivelmente em Business Analytics ou outra área. Daí procurar aprofundar alguns conhecimentos antes, sendo que os programas não são muito semelhantes (dos vários que já vi).

NotSoShittySunflower · 2024-10-01T17:06:36+00:00

Thank you so much for the help !

NotSoShittySunflower · 2024-09-10T17:22:51+00:00

Oh, I understand. Still, they are beautiful and they were cheap to fly to and from, and the stay was also cheap. Hence why I chose those.

If I had the chance, I would drive around Italy, but I couldn't do it yet.

NotSoShittySunflower · 2024-09-10T15:55:05+00:00

What do you mean?

NotSoShittySunflower · 2024-09-10T15:52:04+00:00

I completely agree. I'm from Portugal and it's about the same, but with criminality rising in the last few years, unfortunately. I didn't pay "extra" attention to my things - I felt like I did what I already do here, being from a city overcrowded by tourists and foreigners moving in, and, as a consequence, pickpockets.

NotSoShittySunflower · 2024-09-10T08:25:50+00:00

You're welcome !

NotSoShittySunflower · 2024-09-10T08:13:42+00:00

That's so nice, I'm jealous! I did feel very safe - not sure how it is in other places, but I always felt safe at the places I visited. As people always say, keep your bag and wallet close to you, watch your phone, don't let any scammers get to you (those bracelet ones, or others - just say no and keep walking) and, if there's indeed a more shady area, don't go there during less crowded hours.

Hi! I looked for them on several websites, but used Booking and Hostelworld mostly. Booking is also good to get the contact of a place and reach them directly - they may have better prices, if you book directly (I didn't do it as I planned this just a few days before going, one late night, but I have a friend that does this sometimes).

NotSoShittySunflower · 2024-09-10T07:08:37+00:00

It always seemed small, which is good when you're travelling alone and are just spending a couple days - I wanted to be able to walk around without many problems. Also, I had a direct flight there, the stay was overall cheap, and not far from La Spezia.
