Brazilian advertising

I made a small collection of messages from businesses I found in the streets of Rio. It surprises me the fact that how different is their language for promoting themselves. Have a look at this:

 

 

Para você se sentir bem // For you to feel good. DRUGSTORE DROGASMIL

 

 

Tudo para você gostar da gente // Everything for you to like us. SUPERMARKET ZONA SUL

 

 

Energia que dá gosto // Energy that gives pleasure. MILK CHOCOLATE NESTLÉ

I constantly hear the words, gostar, sentir, curtir, adorar, amar… In Europe, at least in The Netherlands, this wouldn’t be serious. So it seems brazilians look at life in a more joyful way!

 

Well, this two could lead to many misunderstandings for spanish speakers:

 

 

DRUGSTORE DROGA RAIA

 

 

DRUGSTORE DROGA LIFE
