As in any other country, the people in Brazil like to use slang words to express themselves. Of course, these words are not appropriate in all settings. However, among the young people, and in a colloquial setting they are very common.
Nouns are words that label objects, animals or people. Portuguese nouns have only two genders – masculine and feminine. That means that there is no neutral gender in Portuguese as there is in English and German.
Brazilian people are very expressive and very friendly. Most importantly, they know when to be informal and when to be formal. Of course, if they are talking to friends or family, there’s no need for formalities. However, if they’re talking to an older person, their bosses, or someone who has authority, they talk with all due respect.
