Phrasal Verb of the Day
To lose it
To stop being able to control your emotions and suddenly start to shout, cry, or laugh.
(Pirar!)

How can I say “Meu chefe fica nervoso” in English?
“MY BOSS GETS ANGRY”
Nunca diga: “MY BOSS STAYS ANGRY”

Lesson for today
Uma dificuldade muito grande para brasileiros reside na expressão: Ficar. É comum dizer: Fico com fome; fico chateado; fico nervoso; fico cansado, e assim por diante. Uma opção boa para estes casos (talvez a melhor opção) é o polivalente “get”.
Vejamos as frases acima:
I get hungry;
I get upset;
I get angry;
I get tired.
E na forma contínua:
I am getting hungry;
I am getting upset;
I am getting angry;
I am getting tired.
Veja o falso cognato: nervous, que é inglês denota um estado de nervos. Quando nós falamos “nervoso” em português, a melhor tradução é angry, ou ainda upset (chateado, nervoso, aborrecido).
O mesmo polivalente get pode ser usado para o reflexivo, que praticamente é inexistente em inglês. Vamos usar alguns dos mesmos adjetivos:
- Eu me chateio: I get upset
- Eu me canso: I get tired
- Eu me perco: I get lost
