Beleza!


Beleza is Portuguese for beauty. It's also, as I've learned in class, an expression for all things good:

You correctly utilize an impersonal pronoun in Portuguese class--Beleza!
You cut into a perfectly ripe papaya--Beleza!
You cross the intersection without being run over by a speeding motorbike--Beleza!
You successfully order lunch at the lanchonete--Beleza!

These were today's triumphs. Beleza!

  1. 'Voce e beleza'. Or rather 'Voce e linda', give or take a few accents.
