Na cozinha (o molho, queimar)

Staples

o arroz, o ovo, o molho — rice, egg, sauce. Three words the corpus ranked late and every kitchen uses daily.

I like rice with tomato sauce.
Gosto de arroz com molho de tomate.

When it goes wrong

wordmeaning
queimarto burn
estragadospoiled, gone bad
arrefecerto cool down

Queimei o arroz — I burned the rice. O leite está estragado — the milk is off. Deixa o bolo arrefecer — let the cake cool. Arrefecer also does the weather: O tempo arrefeceu.

Eating out, EP style

jantar fora — to eat out; para levar — to take away (É para comer aqui ou para levar?); bom proveito — enjoy your meal, said to anyone eating; and if the wine wins, bêbedo — drunk.
