My workmate invited me to take a cup of coffee and I said – “You’re on”, because I’m dying to take a nap!
This is right, Tim?
One tip from me, especially for those who are learning English like me!
There a program called “Grammarly” that correct when you write something wrong in English.
That’s program helps me especially when I write wrong words!
Tim, I don’t know if you know this program, but, if you think that will help us, please, talk to your followers!
Have a great day!
Bye for now!
Hello, Emerson! Thank you for the interesting recommendation! I will definitely check it out, and if it is something useful, I will share it with our members here.
Your sentences are correct. The only thing you might want to consider is that when you say “I’m dying to take a nap”, it sounds like you REALLY WANT to take a nap, not drink coffee. Maybe you could just say that you are almost sleeping.
I will prove you that I am better than you in Math. You’re on!
I lost! 🙂
Hey, Tim!
The expression “Demorô” can be used in other contexts, too. It’s pretty much like “About time” in English.
“I’ll buy a new car.”
“About time. The one you have is a lemon!”
When people say “Demorô” to accept an invitation in Portuguese. They’re actually saying, “You shoud’ve done that before.”, which means “About time”.
I don’t know if what I explained here is of any help to you, but I thought it was worth the try.
All the best.
Thank you for sharing the meaning of “demorô”, Guilherme. Yes, that makes sense. The same thing goes for “you’re on!”; it’s mostly used to accept a challenge, but it can sometimes be used idiomatically to accept an invitation.
I’d translate “You’re on!” as DUVIDO! for “I bet I can run faster than you!”,
VOU GANHAR CINCO DÓLARES for “I’ll bet you 5 bucks that Palmeiras can win on Sunday.”, É SEU! for
“I’ll give you R$ 500.00 for your cell phone.”, and SÓ SE FOR AGORA! for
“Let’s go to the donut shop!”.
Great suggestions, Amanda! I think they all work, depending on the context. Just keep in mind that when you say “You’re on!” you are *accepting* the challenge/bet. I guess when you say “duvido!”, you might be accepting the challenge, too; right?
Hi, Tim.
It seems that here in my region, ‘demorô’ means ‘you took a long time to do something’ (that was suggested); ‘you should have already done that, don’t lose your time’.
Thanks for the great job.
Thank you for your sharing that, Karneiro! It’s important to remember that different regions have different meanings for expressions.
