Common Portuguese You Hear in Class?

[Rexkwondo79]

I've been wondering how some of the phrases I hear in class are actually spelled out. I'm trying to identify 2 in specific.

1. rei-zao (spelling? it's said like hey-zah-oh) - i think it means something like dude or brother in slang. anyone know the spelling or exact meaning?

2. 'ow-yeah' (spelling? it's said exactly as i spelled it. i heard it in TUF Brasil as well, usually said after a guy gets the movement down correctly)

and of course I always hear
porra - fuck
boa - good
cala a boca (i think?) - shut your mouth
caralho - dick

mostly bad or negative words/phrases, jaja.

Mostly Brazenglish, more than real Portuguese. "Gwarde'-posish", "once more, with more details", "you make for choke", etc. Occasionally "mata leao", but that's about it.

mobuleta? Not sure of the spelling but thats the only thing that sticks with me

 

[DeadAim713]

Upa hata (bridge and roll)

That's about it.

 

[Afro thunder]

"Valeu" at the end of practice

Just learn full portuguese as it will make your bjj experience better. I say just. Haha it's not easy but assuming you work at it and talk to your professor in Portuguese a little bit more each time you'll learn a ton in just 1 year

BOAAAAA! And ossss. That's all I know. And I don't even know what osss is, maybe a Brazilian style of "Amitoufou" Haha

2. 'ow-yeah' (spelling? it's said exactly as i spelled it. i heard it in TUF Brasil as well, usually said after a guy gets the movement down correctly)

Borboleta = butterfly

Ossss is common among brazilian karatekas, said at the end of things, kinda like an amen.

 

[TheHereticJay]

"Oss" is something said by Paul in Tekken. Brazilians thought it was cool so they started using it. End of story.

 

[FUdoshin77]

Osss, not just in brazil but i also saw a documentary on japanese martial arts. They were using it in a context of "yes" and/or "thank you"

 

[chunglii]

All I know are vai, obrigado, and boa. The rest of the portuguese I hear is high speed, full on conversations.

 

[argy-bargy]

All the dutch kickboxers seem to love a good 'osssss' as well
