I didn't answer the stress quiz because I gave up!  The stress quiz was stressing me out because I had to translate it all to english...one word at a time.  It was hard.  :o)

Dear valued member(s),

Please remember to use accents.

Computing with accents, symbols & foriegn scripts:

"http://tlt.its.psu.edu/suggestions/international/bylanguage/portuguese.html"

"http://www.youngbloods.org/portuguese/typeportwin.html"

How to Type Accented Characters

We strongly recommend that you learn how to type these characters on your
computer. For most of you, typing accented characters will be very easy.

Windows 3.x
Windows 95, 98 and beyond
Windows XP
Mac
Window Users - general information

You have two basic options: type in cryptic codes or set up your keyboard
differently. Typing in cryptic codes is cumbersome and frustrating. Usually,
setting up your keyboard is the best way to go.

Setting up your keyboard actually means re-configuring your system so that it is
easy to use your keyboard to create accented characters. "Re-configuring your
system" may sound ominous, but it is really quite simple.

Windows 3.11

Close all of your programs.
Shut your system down.
Re-start your system.
Click on the "Control Panel" icon.
Click on the "Keyboard" icon.
For Keyboard Layout choose "International - US" from the menu.
You may be required to insert one of your Windows diskettes or CD-ROM.
When finished, shut down your system.
Restart your system.
Read the instructions for "Using the U.S. - International Keyboard" below.

Window 95-98 and beyond

Close all of your programs.
Shut your system down.
Re-start your system.
Open Control Panel. (Start - Settings - Control Panel)
Double-click "Keyboard" icon.
Click on "Language" tab.
Click on "Properties" button.
Choose "United States - International" from the menu.
Click on "OK" button.
You may be required to insert your Windows CD-ROM.
When finished, shut down your system.
Restart your system.
Read the instructions for "Using the U.S. - International Keyboard" below.

Windows XP

Log On
Click the Start button
Click on Control Panel
Click Regional and Language Options - a new window will pop up
Click the Languages tab
Click on the Details button
Click the Add button - a new window will pop up
Select United States-International (keyboard layout menu)
Click OK
Click Apply

Read the instructions for "Using the U.S. - International Keyboard" below.
Note: You will now have a keyboard icon on the taskbar (usually on the right
side). To switch between keyboard layouts click the keyboard icon on the task
bar and choose which layout you want to use. Changing the keyboard layout will
only affect the log on profile used. No other users will be affected.

Using the U.S. - International Keyboard

If you followed the above directions carefully, your keyboard will now react
slightly differently than it did before. First of all, notice that if you strike
the single apostrophe (') key, nothing happens. To type the single apostrophe
now, you must strike the single apostrophe key and then strike the space bar.
When you strike the spacebar, the apostrophe will appear.

The next thing to note is that the quotes (") key behaves the same way as the
apostrophe key. You must first strike the quotes key and then strike the space
bar in order to create the (") symbol. These two minor inconveniences are more
than made up for by the ease with which you can now type the special characters.

To type the special characters, two keystrokes are required. To type the á, you
need only strike the apostrophe key and then the letter a. The other characters
are just as easy:

á = ' + a
é = ' + e
í = ' + i
ó = ' + o
ú = ' + u
ñ = ~ + n
ü = " + u
To type the special punctuation characters, you need to hold down on the Alt key
while you strike the appropriate punctuation mark. On some keyboards, only one
of the two Alt keys will work for this.

¡ = Alt (hold down) + !
¿ = Alt (hold down) + ?
Using Cryptic Codes

If, for some reason, you don't want to change your keyboard, you can always type
in the troublesome cryptic codes. Using this arcane system, the following codes
apply:

á = Alt + 0225
é = Alt + 0233
í = Alt + 0237
ó = Alt + 0243
ú = Alt + 0250
ñ = Alt + 0241
ü = Alt + 0252

¡ = Alt + 0161
¿ Alt + 0191

When using this utterly out-dated system, there are two important things to
remember. First, when you type in the numbers, some keyboards require that you
use the "numeric keypad" located to the side, rather than the numbers along the
top. Second, on some keyboards, only one of the two Alt keys will work for this.

Mac Users

To get accents on the Mac, hold down the Option key, and while holding it down,
type the letter e; then release those keys and type the letter that you want the
accent to appear on:

á = Opt + e, then a
é = Opt + e, then e
í = Opt + e, then i
ó = Opt + e, then o
ú = Opt + e, then u
For the ñ, hold down the Option key while you type the n; release and type n
again.

ñ = Opt + n, then n
To place the diaeresis over the u, hold down the Option key while pressing the u
key; release and type u again.

ü = Opt + u, then u
The inverted punctuation marks are achieved as follows:

¡ = Opt + 1
¿ Opt + shift + ?



Below you will find a list of alt key codes.


Alt key codes are great if you like to code by hand and can save a lot of time
once you memorize a few. Hold down the alt key and use the number pad on the far
right of your keyboard to type out the 4-character code.  When you release the
alt key, the character will appear.

Example: Alt-0169 = ©   or   Alt-0174 = ®  or  Alt-0153 = ™


Alt-0128  € Alt-0252  ü Alt-0129  � Alt-0130  ‚ Alt-0131  ƒ

Hi Leo,
I could be wrong about this, but perhaps "quite" is used more in
British English, for instance, "It's quite hot out today." Sounds
British to me, lol.

Anyway, "to eye" is used in the US, for example, "I've been eyeing
that car for the past two weeks -- I think I'm going to buy it."

Hope this helps.

Amy

Subject: Dear englishportuguese : Exame / Exame / Segunda Época

Olá, tenho duas perguntas,

 

1)    Como se diz: “Exame” e “Segunda Época” em inglês? Tem algo similar nas faculdades dos EUA?

2)    Quando vamos fazer um exame/teste na escola dizemos: “I will take a test”. Mas quando vamos fazer um exame no médico, podemos usar “to take a test” também? Ou seria “to do a test”? Ou nem um e nem outro?

 

Obrigado.

Out of 45345 members is this group, only three (and that includes myself) told us about their hobbies.

 

Why just three people replied to the post?

 

Please pick one:

 

1)    I don’t have any hobbies (too bad)

2)    I do have hobbies, but it’s none of your business what I do.

3)    What a stupid post this of yours, hum?

4)    Hobbies? What?

 

PS. Just in case ...

This post is meant to be a joke :o)

Oi Leo,

 

Não conheço "eyed". Procurei "he eyed me" na internet e deu 11,400 sites, mas quando eu tentei entrar, foram (eram) sites adultos. Então não recomendo usar essa phrase (frase).  Significa provavelmente "ele olhar uma muhler da cima para abaixo (baixo) porque {ele} deseja ter sexo com ela."

Tentei dizer:

I am not familiar with "eyed". I looked "he eyed me" up on the internet and there were 11,4000 sites, but when I tried to enter, the were adult sites.  Therefore, I would not recommend using this phrase.  It probably means "he looked a woman up and down because he wants to have sex with her."

Não me lembro qual (em qual, em que) frase {onde}eu usei "quite", mas as  veses (às vezes) significa "very", par (por) exemplo: "I'm quite sure." As vezes significa 'such' par (por) exemplo "he is quite a big boy" ou "He has quite a big appetite."

 

Tentei dizer:

I don't remember which sentence I used "quite" in, but sometimes it means "very", for example: "I'm quite sure." Sometimes it means 'such' for example "he is quiite a big boy." oe "He has quite a big appitite."

 

As vezes significa 'bastante' par (por) exemplo: "That's quite enough!"

As vezes se usa como "pretty" par (por) exemplo: "The chances are pretty slim" "The chances of that happening are quite slim."

 

Sometimes it means enough, for example, "That's quite enough!"

Sometimes it is used like "pretty" for example...

 

Conhece a frase, "Fat chance!"? Significa "nunca posibilidade" (de jeito nenhum - nem pensar - não há condição) or "no way." (no possibility)

Oi Leo,

 

Não conheço "eyed". Procurei "he eyed me" na internet e deu 11,400 sites, mas quando eu tentei entrar, foram (eram) sites adultos. Então não recomendo usar essa phrase (frase).  Significa provavelmente "ele olhar uma muhler da cima para abaixo (baixo) porque {ele} deseja ter sexo com ela."

Tentei dizer:

I am not familiar with "eyed". I looked "he eyed me" up on the internet and there were 11,4000 sites, but when I tried to enter, the were adult sites.  Therefore, I would not recommend using this phrase.  It probably means "he looked a woman up and down because he wants to have sex with her."

Não me lembro qual (em qual, em que) frase {onde}eu usei "quite", mas as  veses (às vezes) significa "very", par (por) exemplo: "I'm quite sure." As vezes significa 'such' par (por) exemplo "he is quite a big boy" ou "He has quite a big appetite."

 

Tentei dizer:

I don't remember which sentence I used "quite" in, but sometimes it means "very", for example: "I'm quite sure." Sometimes it means 'such' for example "he is quiite a big boy." oe "He has quite a big appitite."

 

As vezes significa 'bastante' par (por) exemplo: "That's quite enough!"

As vezes se usa como "pretty" par (por) exemplo: "The chances are pretty slim" "The chances of that happening are quite slim."

 

Sometimes it means enough, for example, "That's quite enough!"

Sometimes it is used like "pretty" for example...

 

Conhece a frase, "Fat chance!"? Significa "nunca posibilidade" (de jeito nenhum - nem pensar - não há condição) or "no way." (no possibility)
