Will the law against hitting the children take effect in Fraiburgo?

The law against parents hitting their kids might not have effects in Fraiburgo. The reason? Over there, the Portuguese word (palmadas) used for this law does not exist or at least nobody has ever used in Fraiburgo. Below is a realtime dicussion on facebook with other local expressions used for parents when the kids are getting spoilt. Needless to say that we are not motivating violence, the point of discussion is why Brazil is discussing this law? Don’t we have other priorities? Still many people are thankful they parents like me for defining my limits in the course of my childhood.

A análise constitui-se de um estudo aprofundado da organização espacial, localização, adequação volumétrica, ensejos arquitetônicos nas pespectivas social e econômica. Como subsídio, temos relatos dos moradores, registros fotográficos, croquis da planta baixa, anúncios de jornal e a reconstrução virtual 3d das obras. Abaixo os resultados da versão 1.2:

The Fraiburguese Dialect 02

Once a stranger has learned and incorporated the Fraiburguese dialect in its own vocabulary, he/she will perceive the world in a different way, more comprehensive and accurate. By default, when a Fraibuguese person leaves the city he/she will eventually realize the lack of accuracy of other people speeches and this is perhaps one of the greatest competitive advantages they have. Moreover, as many expressions are extremely regionalized like theses, the Fraiburgueses people end up learning new expressions while are circulating in other cultural universes, hence increasing their overwhelming cultural-vocabular repertoires. The image below show objects which can be used the the verb “open”. There fore you can open a can, a company, a scream or a cut on any part of they body. The 2 last ones are terms very specific to the region in a rather funny way.

The most famous Fraiburguese guy ever

Guys, this is the most famous Fraiburguese person ever. Well, translating a joke is a real pain in the ass, but ok I accept the challenge. “Tchô” is the local word to an unknown person and sounds much like Chuck and the phrase says “the most famous Fraiburguese in the west of the universe” meaning Fraiburgo’s region in a broader sense.

Lá no Frai blog second year

Ladies em gentleman,

Welcome to the second year of the “La no Frai” project, Fraiburgo a place to be discovered. This is a blog that seeks to define in two language what, how, why, when, where is Fraiburgo and its people, culture and stereotypes. Fraiburgo, which is not Nova Friburgo (RJ), Friburg (Switzerland), Freiburg (Germany), not even gaucho, has its own cultural existence which is based on the different ideas and hard work of different peoples that have left their contribution to shape the destiny of the city. Their live endeavours are the main source of expiration to this project which has received loads of contributions from the readers. On facebook I have made some changes, but what matters is that all material is located here. There is a chance to receive all e-mail notification of new posts by adding your e-mail on buttom “follow the blog” next. That’s it for now. Bellow is the cute French style so called “Little castle” and its son “Little boy-castle” right next to the impotent Araucária pine trees.
