In this episode of Carioca Connection, Alexia and Foster discuss the meaning of eight phrases that only Brazilians understand. The phrases include expressions such as "the door slept open" (forgetting to close the door during the night), "the light sleeping on" (forgetting to turn off the lights during the night) and "I don't know them, but I know who they are" (knowing someone only by reputation). These phrases are typical of Brazilian culture and can be difficult to understand for people of other nationalities.

And now in Brazilian Portuguese...
