Pula-Sela* - Leapfrog
Literally, “Jump-[the]-Saddle”
*This is the name used where I’m from. Anything having to do with oral tradition, such as names and/or myths can vary greatly depending on where you live. Just because where you live doesn't use this version of the name doesn't make it wrong.
Viajando na maionese - Travelling in/through the mayonnaise
To be daydreaming, to have your head in the clouds, to be in one’s own world, to be “off in La La Land”.
Ascender - to rise/climb
Acender - to light
ie. Acender uma vela - To light a candle
Acender a luz - To turn on the light
This isn’t a government, this is a joke!
Literally, “Government? [Calling it by] that name is hilarious/a joke”.
Even more literally, “Government? That name is a comedy”.
Criar caso - To create [a] case
To be outright trying to start a problem where there isn’t one (ie an argument).
Interestingly, caso is also a colloquial term for “story” or “tale” - which means this term can also be translated as “to create a story.”
Criar can also mean “to raise” (as in “to raise a child”), so yet another alternative translation could be “to raise a story.”
