Yeah, we're in the middle of rainy period
The town has a history of suffering from severe droughts and there were times when we'd take showers with bowls, among other water rationing measures. So I guess there's a reason why rain has a joyful meaning to us
Also, no u >:V

Well, to me it does too!
There's nothing better than running around, sometimes naked, in the rain and feeling the falling water!

I find some differences amusing
Mouse (Brasil) -> rato (Portugal)
Fila (Brasil) -> bicha (Portugal)
Cavanhaque (Brasil) -> pêra (Portugal)
"Mouse" is the computer device. "Fila" is a queue/line, but in Brazil, "bicha" also exists as a term that refers to gay men. And "cavanhaque" is the goatee, whereas we use "pêra" to refer to the pear fruit

Pera in portugal actually has 3 diferent meanings
1- fruit
2- gloatee
3- a punch to the face
We also have that double term for bicha, another diference is for the world skunk
In Brasil its "Gamba" but here Gamba means shrimp.
And skunk is "Doninha fedurenta" translated it means stinky weasel

So is it possible to ask someone for pear fruit and receive a punch straight to the face?!

Welll that would depend on the context...if in a fight and a guy tells you he is going to give you a "pear"...you might not get a fruity surprise

It's a curious thing that is found in many languages, where skunk literally translates to stinky weasel!
It happens in Chinese and Finnish too!

I see... gotta be careful with what I ask for then lol
I forgot to mention that we use "rato" exclusively for the animal. So if you're looking to buy a computer mouse and say that, people will stare at you and wonder how a pet rodent is going to solve your computer issues

Funny enough i also belive rato means something a but diferent
Rato in Brasil means Rat right?
Here rato means mouse (animal as well)
And rat is "ratazana"
Guifrog
Blue frog
Well, we tend to use "rato" as a more generic word for rodents in general, be them small or medium-sized, so both mouses and rats would be included in that
But "rat" in specific may be translated to pt-BR as either "ratazana" or "gabiru"

In spanish too
I still don't distinguish between a Rana and a Sapo!

Never thought it over but it does sound Japanese! ガビル
In English, biologically, "frog" is a term that encompasses any member of the Anura order. So all toads are frogs. "Toads" belong to the Bufonidae family, however.
Popularly, on the other hand, toads and frogs are said to differ. So frogs are commonly known as the aquatic, smooth-skinned ones; and the toads are recognized as warty and terrestrial.
The same occurs in Brazilian Portuguese - "rã" is frog, "sapo" is toad. So technically "sapos" are all "rãs". Still, my specific species (the Blue Poison Dart Frog) is commonly known as "sapo-boi-azul", even with the smooth skin and aquatic habits!
I'm not completely sure, but I'm under the impression that that's also true in Spanish. So don't worry, the confusion is justified lol

Yeah! Haha
The syllables are totally japanese!
Ooooh!
Interesting!
I want to study bufonids a bit!
Rãs? It's pretty similar to Ranas in spanish!
And yeah also in spanish it's like that!
I remember our toad friend, he is warty and terrestrial to some degree
I remember he came out in the morning and rainy days :3
Blue toad boi? That's curious lol
You're indeed a blue boi!!

Aaah those are frogs too. But from another family. Hylidae if I'm not mistaken
I don't seem to know a good lot about them
