No kidding, Orlando was in Mexico City one time and saw a man in Chapultepec Park who was selling helados esquisitos. Why would anyone want to buy 'weird' ice cream? Turns out, in Spanish esquisito means exquisite, and Mexicans actually like to have their helado esquisito! It's a positive thing. In Portuguese, esquisito means strange or weird. OK, that's what we mean by false cognates. Although many words between Spanish and Portuguese are similar, there are others that trick you because the meaning isn't what you expect.

Valdo: VocÃª tirou sua carteira de motorista aqui no Texas?
Michelle: Tirei sim. E logo comecei a dirigir pra todos os lugares.
Valdo: VocÃª nÃ£o ficou surpresa ao saber que aqui se consegue a carteira aos 16 anos? Porque no Brasil sÃ³ a partir dos 18. E o seu teste, vocÃª foi bem?
Michelle: VocÃª acredita que eu coloquei meu apelido no computador ao invÃ©s do meu nome e sobrenome?
Valdo: Ah, Ã© que vocÃª ainda estava grÃ¡vida! VocÃª nÃ£o ficou embarassada em dirigir no dia do teste com aquele barrigÃ£o?
Michelle: Claro que nÃ£o! Eu atÃ© freqÃ¼entei a universidade grÃ¡vida.

English
Valdo: Did you get your driver's license here in Texas?
Michelle: Yes, I got it. And then I began to drive everywhere.
Valdo: Weren't you surprised to find out that here one can get their driver's license at 16? Because in Brazil you have to be 18. And how about your test, how did it go?
Michelle: Can you believe that I put my nickname on the computer instead of my first and last name?
Valdo: Wow, and you were still pregnant! Weren't you embarrassed about driving for your test with that big stomach?
Michelle: Of course not! I even attended the university while pregnant.
