O camameiro do Presidente Eisenhower o OBSERVAVA se vestir. | Falso Cognato #4 | Inglês Todos os Dias #492

by Tim Barrett | Oct 29, 2020 | Podcasts2020 | 31 comments

Você sabia que o camameiro do General Presidente Dwight D. Eisenhower o observava se vestir todos os dias? Não? Li sobre isso neste artigo. Mas obviamente não estou usando o verbo certo em português. Não é “observar”, é “ajudar”/”auxiliar”, e trata-se de um falso cognato em inglês.

I assist my boss with the sistem design.

It is too formal, but in portuguese we use the word “assistir” as help someone too. The meaning is “Oferecer assistência; ajudar, acompanhar”
