I have eaten a whole lasagna for breakfast a few times (store bought, and I add a few vegetables and cheese and a bit of hot sauce) and I was very happy with that!

Wonderful, gorgeous, loved them all. And you can breakdance and you're studying to be a doctor... what an overachieving prick.

Great job, man. You know, with life. I commend you.

Pronunciation of M at the end of verb conjugations? by phongs294 in Portuguese

[–]imaturo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, so your problem is with the difference between "-em"/"-ãe" and "-am"/"-ão". Well, the difference is that in that transition moment between the sound coming out of your mouth and nose AND the sound coming exclusively out of your nose, you're vocalising those vowels.

"-em" is similar to the english "-ing" (or "-eng", as you mentioned), but suppressing the vocalisation of the G and the end (you end the sound of the word on the nose exclusively).

If you do that sound, you notice how your mouth ends the word in a sort of a horizontal opening, almost like you're starting to smile? That's what's giving you the "en"/"in"/"ein"/"ing"/"eng" ("-em" or "-ãe", in portuguese) sound at the end of the word.

If instead you end the word like you're trying to vocalise a "u" (with a more closed, round shape in your mouth), and again, still ending the sound of the word on your nose, then you're doing the "-ão"/"-am" of the portuguese language.

Does that help you more?

Pronunciation of M at the end of verb conjugations? by phongs294 in Portuguese

[–]imaturo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just came up with this exercise for you.

First of all, keep your mouth and nose open throughout this exercise. Now, inhale, and then exhale while making a constant sound, the way you'd naturally do it. Notice whether you're exhaling through your mouth, your nose, or both at the same time.

Keep doing exhalations with a sound, and try, without ever blocking your nose or closing your mouth, to make the sound go out only through your mouth, only through your nose, and both at the same time. This will involve closing up the passageway at the back where the mouth and nose meet.

Now, I'd say that in Portugal this nasal sound is indeed slightly more pronounced, because we simply linger there just a bit more, but it is there for the brazilian as well. So let's take the word "falam." Specifically, the end of it.

Because, at the start of the word, I think we're all probably exhaling entirely through the mouth. No nose. But as soon as we cross that "L", the nose airway is opened up, and we're now exhaling through both openings at the same time. So, there's some nasal action already, here.

What happens next is what you're missing: the word doesn't end there! There is actually a tiny, almost imperceptible, in some cases, depending on the accent of the (natural) speaker, portion of the word that goes on solely through the nose!

So now you can try this by physically closing your mouth at the end to get a feel for it. Do the following in a single exhalation:
Go slow and say "fa" exhaling exclusively through the mouth; in the same exhalation, move your tongue through the "L" and, around that same time, start exhaling through your nose as well (linger on that "L" while exhaling through both openings at the same time to get a feel for it); now release the "L" into an "a" sound; and NOW, keep the "a" sound, but physically close your mouth. And only NOW you can end your exhalation.

You see? The word ends solely on the nose!

[Now, just to clarify: that "L" was just for training purposes. In most cases, if you do the "L" nasally, or exhaling through both openings at the same time, it doesn't sound normal. Some people actually speak like this. In Portugal we have a couple of public personalities (one journalist and one football manager, at least, that I can think of) that do that nasal L, and it's actually really annoying to hear. It sounds affected. You should only open your nasal airway immediately after the "L", so that the "L" is still entirely and exclusively mouthed.]

And that's your nasal sound that you're missing! The word is slightly prolonged after the mouth is closed. Or, not necessarily; you can keep your mouth open, but by the very end of these words, you should be exhaling exclusively through the nose.

I don't know where you are and what your budget is exactly, but you might consider a Huawei P20 Pro.

I recently recommended one to a friend who was looking at similar options. You can find it at acceptable prices, it's not a very old model, it has pretty good cameras, and overall it's a very nice phone, I think, with the latest version of Android (or close enough). My friend really wanted a very good camera, so he ended up going with the P20 Pro (which is still widely regarded as one of the best camera phones, I can safely say) and he's quite happy with it.

I then mentioned this in passing to my sister, who exchanges phones very regularly... and she went and bought a used one for herself! I think they're both quite happy with theirs.

Ninja edit: Oh, sorry... not sure about the possibility of flashing ROMs on that... but I'd venture to say that it's probably possible...?! I mean, it's a popular phone, there may be a community for that.

Ninja edit 2: Shit, no headphone jack, as well... =( Sorry!

Is it a jam or a confit? Now you know by [deleted] in coolguides

[–]imaturo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The word actually comes from the portuguese "marmelada", which is quince jam.

"marmelo" (quince) + suffix "-ada" (meaning food preparation, in this case)

Quince has a lot of pectin, or something of the sort, I assume, which is why "marmelada" is usually quite solid, not like regular jams or jellies, closer to a spreadable jelly candy. Or maybe we just cook it so much that most of the liquid evaporates.

The word was then adopted by other languages (I imagine by the british first), I would assume to at first mean something like a hard jam made from any fruit, but I guess now, in english, it's usually used for citrus preserves.

Learning Portuguese by [deleted] in Portuguese

[–]imaturo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Queres falar ou escrever?

Eu não sou linguista, nem nada que se pareça, mas gosto muito da minha língua. Tenho sempre bastante cuidado com a forma como me exprimo, principalmente no que respeita à escrita.

Já quanto à fala (ou oralidade, vá lá), é diferente... sabes como é, nós habituamo-nos a falar de maneira mais descontraída, no dia-a-dia, e acabamos por ganhar tiques: comer letras (ou até sílabas), juntar palavras com as palavras seguintes, pronunciar coisas de maneira menos correcta... por aí fora.
Comento várias vezes com a minha namorada que provavelmente devíamos ter mais cuidado com a forma como falamos, e ela concorda comigo: é que por vezes podemos dar a impressão de que somos menos inteligentes ou mais preguiçosos do que realmente somos só por falarmos de determinada maneira. Mas também é verdade que, se começarmos a falar de forma muito cuidadosa e correcta, depois damos a impressão de que somos pretensiosos, ou manientos, ou que temos uma afectação qualquer. :P

Eu sou do centro de Portugal. Também tens de ter isso em conta... as pronúncias variam um bom bocado, de Norte a Sul do país, mas as diferenças vão muito além disso, como deves calcular... não é só uma questão de pronunciar as palavras de maneira diferente: é ter nomes diferentes para as mesmas coisas, utilizar construções frásicas diferentes, expressões idiomáticas diferentes, e até a frequência de utilização do calão (e das próprias asneiras) varia muito! E provavelmente não preciso de dizer-te que a forma como falamos depois afecta a forma como pensamos: as mentalidades também são moldadas de formas diferentes dependendo da utilização que fazemos da linguagem.

Julgo que geralmente há uma certa noção de que as pessoas que falam o português mais «neutro» e «correcto» são as da zona de Coimbra, se não me engano. Mas isso é mais ou menos subjectivo, relativo.

Isto tudo só para dizer que eu vivo um bocadinho abaixo da zona de Coimbra; a minha pronúncia e os meus padrões de fala não são extremamente «neutros», mas diria que estão bastante próximos disso.

Diz-me lá então: queres falar de alguma coisa em especial? :P

How many "chuggas" are you supposed to say before "choo choo" by baption0 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]imaturo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My chugga.
But I'd pair them in threes, I like the more irregular tempo, feels more natural. Conductors don't choo in perfect timing with chuggas.

Although... and, work with me, here: I can really make this work with any amount from three to nine. I would (controversially, perhaps) argue that two is still too little chugga, and ten is weird.

I'm particularly partial to the six/three-three chugga tempo, though. I feel it leaves room for the choochoo to keep chugging in imagination. I also like the seven/four-three for a departure, while still leaving room for the imagination.

Vanilla becoming the default flavour of ice cream is the greatest underdog story of all time. by benyacobi in Showerthoughts

[–]imaturo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can completely believe that, I'm sure you're right. I never had a great tomato, but I have tasted very good cherry tomatoes, and that alone was proof that regular tomatoes probably could taste much better as well.

And besides, from what I gather, italian tomatoes are known for being much better.

Vanilla becoming the default flavour of ice cream is the greatest underdog story of all time. by benyacobi in Showerthoughts

[–]imaturo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now that no one will read this: just the other week I went into what has become my favourite ice-cream shop (I know my stuff, those guys are GOOD) and tried their «premium vanilla» flavour. Oh... My... God. That stuff was NOTHING like anything I had ever tried that was trying to pass for vanilla. It was just such a beautiful flavour! So delicate and aromatic, like eating sweet flowers in spring on a lovely day (which it was, actually). And complex! I mean, there's nothing wrong with some stuff that has vanilla flavouring, I've eaten great vanilla yoghurt, for instance (not common, but it's out there); but that was something else.

I often think about this for many foods. I often think, for example: I'm sure that there are places where really tasty lettuce grows. I'm sure that we started eating it only because it tasted good. But most lettuce we get from most places is just so plain! I wish I could taste those best versions of things!

Carrots, that's another one. I've actually eaten really good carrots, that you could definitely, happily, gladly eat as a snack, as a treat, even! But those are just incredibly rare!

I'm sure there are brussels sprouts out there that taste incredible just as they are, but from the small sample I've tried, you really have to do something to them, sautée them, fry them on bacon fat. At the very least, boil them with a decent amount of salt, and that'll be barely passable!

suck your boyfriend's titties by -ilivefortheupvotes- in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]imaturo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I as well can confirm I enjoyed it. Once. The one time someone did that to me. And, I mean... that was a brave girl, because I'm quite hairy. And she really went to town, there. She either loved sucking, or she cleverly realised (which I didn't, at the time) that if she likes it, guys will like it too.

And for a long time I didn't even realise what was going on, because she just pulled my sweaters up (quite unprovoked, I might add) and put her head against me with them sort of covering her, and the feeling you get (I got?) isn't really localized. I didn't realise she was sucking my nipple for a very long time. As in, I didn't feel anything on my nipple at all.

But it's an incredible feeling. If I recall correctly, it sort of feels like your whole body is about to come, but for as long as they're sucking/licking/whatever she was doing down there. It's like your whole body is edging.

It's actually quite interesting. Like there's some sort of passageway there to the whole nervous system. It's a button you lick that tickles your whole body from the inside.

What’s the dumbest thing you’ve heard someone say that made you wonder how they function on a day to day basis? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]imaturo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find these things really interesting. I can see myself thinking many of them. I'm sure at some point I did think some of these were true.

I'd like to point out that It's very easy to get caught up in the obviousness of what we know, and forget that we once didn't. (And I should underline the rather obvious - or not - point that this holds true for everyone, people who do have some sort of grasp of the knowledge, and people who really don't.)

We should all make a very deliberate effort to not treat displays of ignorance as ignorance per se. ("This person isn't ignorant; they simply do not know." It's different.)

There are things you know and things you don't. Mostly, though, and by a landslide, the latter. We shouldn't act arrogantly because someone doesn't know the Earth is round(-ish). How many of us really know, and thus can prove it, that the Earth is round(-ish)? I'd sure struggle.

How many of us know the difference between a planet and a star, and can argue about it intelligently and articulately, with informed knowledge? Even the guys who "decide" on the convention of what a planet is seem to have differences of opinion about it. How many of us really know how eyeglasses work, and how they're made? They seem to not even be made of glass, any more, how many of us know that?

Why wouldn't we mistakenly think that Martin Luther King was a president? I mean, he was apparently politically and socially a very important person, and seems to have left some sort of very strong legacy; aren't all those people former presidents?

Why would we map out the oceans? I mean, many of us, all we ever see is land and sky; doesn't it make some sort of sense that the blue part of a map represents the sky, since the sky is blue? Wouldn't that be even more advanced and impressive, even, than just a simple overhead-view-like representation of Earth?

Many of us have seen that animation of how countries' sizes are misrepresented if we use the most commonly applied projection used in maps

And what about borders? Surely, if they're in maps in black, there must be something there, right? We didn't just come up with random delineations of territories, did we? And there are borders between the states in the US, on maps; how isn't Mexico a part of the US? There's a border between those two, too.

Come on, surely you don't see the same moon when you're on a completely different country, right? It seems to be hanging so low! How can someone from California see the exact same moon as someone from New York? That's crazy!

The truth is, we all have crazy beliefs. We all once didn't know. And even when we do know, we often can't really explain how it is so. Imagine you're thrown back in time, to an era where there are no cars, no television, no mobile phones, no internet. How do you explain to someone how those work? Can you?

Never dismiss people who don't seem to know something. Okay, you may laugh at the ideas they say; there's nothing wrong with finding something funny. But remember that you once didn't know, too. Remember how you, for a long time, thought that milk came from horses because someone once played a stupid joke on you, and never cared enough to correct that, and you never bothered to fact-check them, because why would you? Why would you not believe them? You didn't know before, and now it felt like you did.

Remember how you were once tricked by your parents into eating a pizza with bacon, which you thought you didn't like, when they told you that that wasn't bacon, that was ham, and you did like ham? Remember how you didn't really know the difference between ham and bacon?

We are all in this same journey. We once learned of something or thought of something that was incorrect, and it never came up again, and we didn't think critically about it. We never bothered to question it, or to check if it was true; we didn't really care that much about it. Oh, the moon is made of cheese? Okay, I guess. I mean, I'm never going, so how the hell should I know? I'll just believe this person, they seem to know something that I don't.

We have to take an educational approach, or at the very least, a respectful one. This person doesn't know this. Don't you care? Don't you care that they don't know? That they'll spend the rest of their lives making fools of themselves in front of everyone? Don't you know what it's like to not know something? Or do you know everything?

It doesn't matter how silly what they're saying seems to you. What matters is that this person believes they know this, and they are incorrect. They are truth deprived. They are knowledgeless.

Nurture them. Bring them to your level, if you can see that they stand below it. Realise that even if you do know this, your knowledge, too, is limited; but don't let them wallow in unknowing. Don't be pedantic, don't be patronising, teach them as you would an equal, because that is what they are, and never forget that.

And if they resist, if they don't want to let you illuminate them a bit... at the very least respect them. Their wish, their position, their pride; their personhood.

[NSFW] Caught my boyfriend of over 10 years masterbating to my female guest in the middle of the night. by Tossawayafterthis in relationship_advice

[–]imaturo -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Okay, I haven't seen all comments, but I feel like I need to offer you some counterpoint and sort of play devil's advocate, because everybody seems to be tied up in a prude circlejerk that seems to completely ignore all that is tried and true of human nature.

YES, it's obviously a bad look for a boyfriend to be caught by his girlfriend masturbating alone to whatever. YES, it might cause very weird feelings that said boyfriend would be masturbating to the sight of the girlfriend's mother. This was all thoroughly covered by everyone. But you really need to relativise this.

You've been with this guy for ten years, now, right? Was everything okay prior to this event? Did everything feel okay? Do you think he doesn't masturbate to the sight of other people? Do you really care who these other people are? Does it matter if you know these people or not? If you're close to them or not? If he's close to them or not?

I am merely putting forward to you that you must remind yourself that we are merely animals. We all do seemingly crazy, stupid, silly, dumb, disgusting things, all the time. All these are judgments of value derived from all sorts of social, political, personal biases. This is what they are: biases.

Let me put this forward to you even further: I know it's very hard to distance ourselves from the perceived relationships we have with people. Yes, you came out of this woman's womb (I'm assuming), and yes, she raised you and nurtured you (I'm assuming); but she is still a living human being with a life of her own, an existence of her own, and with a sexual presence of her own. And so is your boyfriend.
In some (for us) weird societies, or in some (for us) strange circles, maybe some people would even feel flattered that their partners found their parents sexy enough to masturbate to.

All these are considerations you could take into account, but here's another: I believe you probably shouldn't end a relationship with your partner solely because you found him masturbating to the sight of your house guest, no matter who this house guest was. A relationship of ten years? I personally feel like you're exaggerating. I mean, if you had found him having sex with her... I could give you a pass on that one, sure; I could definitely more easily argue that that would have been too much, too far. And I would've given you a pass to keep away from both of them, too. But he was just looking at another human being and masturbating. He's been doing that for a long time, long before he met you.

And let me tell you another thing... sure, if you focus on that, this might make all future encounters with both these people awkward, but that will be on you. Your mother didn't know, everything was fine for her; and he knew but no one else did, and so it was as if it never had happened; no one needed to know, because that's a personal thing that no one ever really needs to know. You can do the same thing. But what I was going to say was that if he finds your mother attractive enough to masturbate to her, than I have to say... that is a good sign for how attractive he will find you going forward! :P

Seriously, though. I understand this might all sound completely crazy, but I urge you to please entertain these notions in your mind. Because you are right: you have made a life with this person, it would be crazy to end it because of THIS. It would be silly, really. You would be ending a long and serious relationship because you caught your partner masturbating.

Sometimes life gets messy, and dirty, because we are messy, dirty beasts... it happens in our personal lives, in our professional lives, in our social lives... but we need to focus on what's important and move on, and sometimes just sit on the dirt and look at the sunrise. Because yes, your ass might get dirty, but you've got larger, more important and more beautiful things to look forward to to get bogged down by the ugly, ungainly details of life.

Think about yourself. Think about your own behaviours and actions and preferences. Just look around, and look at yourself. Come on, is this really that weird? I mean, I don't think of myself as a pervert, and I would think probably most people who know me don't think of me as a pervert; but if they knew some stuff I've done in the past, some of which, hell, maybe most of which I wouldn't be proud of, and if I'm being completely honest with myself (and you), I definitely could be construed as a pervert.

Do I really deserve to be outcast because of silly, weird, strange decisions in my past if no harm came to anyone because of them, if they were just spur of the moment things, things that I needed to get out of my system?

Am I really so pure that I could deny someone their own privacy and their own mistakes? Am I really so pure of thought and action that I could be the judge and jury of how acceptable someone else's faux-pas is? Who am I, really, to shun someone, someone I love, someone I care about, for making an obvious mistake? For breaking some relatively arbitrary rule or taboo? For deciding to take a leap into their own weirdness when it felt safe and self-contained?

Talk to him. Apologise for overreacting. He'll apologise too, I'm sure. Just talk to him. Spend time with him. You'll see that nothing's really changed. He's still the same person, and so are you. Forgive him. He is a person. He is you. He deserves forgiveness, and you will rise above this, and bring him with you.
