It was a NA Miata, it was red, it was in pretty good shape and the owner wanted 98 thousand reais for it! Any takers?

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > BlazinAce - Doctor of Internal Combustion 09/22/2014 at 22:17

98 thousand what? Beads? Breaths of air? Hats?

I assume this is not a US dollar or a Euro.

98,000 brazillian currencies, or USD?

Forget the World Cup and the Olympics, this is why the revolution must happen.

Do you live in the future and was a hit man driving it?

So...$41,000-ish for a 25 year old Mazda....how very jalop.

98 thousand reais, Brazilian money. The remains of a 67 Ford Mustang likely beyond salvation would set you back 200 thousand reais.

The former, yeah...

Yup. I could put some serious punch under the hood and on the rear wheels of my Fiat for that amount of money.

You say reais, but every other Brazilian I know calls it real. Why?

Probably because Real is singular, while Reais is plural. Then again, I don't remember the last time I paid anything with one single Real...

Oh. I live in an area with an extremely high Brazilian immigrant population and I'm a Western Union agent so I deal with Real a lot.

Ah, you mean in speech? It's because we're too lazy to use proper concordance. I may type "duzentos reais", but I actually say "duzentos real". Portuguese can be pretty annoying in that sense, long words, long syllables, it takes too many words to say something, that's why Brazilian rock music is so terrible for example.

How can such a musical language make bad music?

Not bad, terrible :p

Words are too long and have too many syllables, so you have to flex a single word over a lot of chords and it takes a lot of wors to sat anything at all. English is good for music because of the short, sometimes monosyllabic words and simple structure.
