Grammar:

• Já viu o preço do leite NAN?

  ➔ Pretérito Perfeito Composto (Present Perfect)

  ➔ Use of the "já" (already/ever) with the present perfect tense indicates an action that has happened at an unspecified time in the past. "Já viu" means "Have you seen (already)?"

• Tá 'mó caro

  ➔ Slang usage; shortened form of "está muito caro"

  ➔ "Tá" is a colloquial shortening of "está" (is), and "'mó" is a shortening of "muito" (very). The sentence is slang for "It's very expensive."

• Pra que tu foi meter um filho / Com aquele otário?

  ➔ "Pra que" + pronoun + "foi" + infinitive - Implies a question of purpose or reason in a disapproving manner

  ➔ This construction expresses disapproval or questioning of a past action. "Pra que tu foi" literally translates to "For what you went," but the meaning is closer to "Why did you go and...?".

• Deixa esse otário, cê sabe / Que eu pago tudo no card

  ➔ Imperative (Deixa), Informal Pronoun "cê" (você), Relative Pronoun "que"

  ➔ "Deixa" is the imperative form of "deixar" (to leave/let). "Cê" is a shortened, informal version of "você" (you). "Que" introduces a relative clause.

• Que eu tô vivendo o meu auge

  ➔ "Que" introducing a clause, Present Continuous tense ("tô vivendo")

  ➔ "Que" here introduces a clause explaining why he can pay everything. "Tô vivendo" is a shortened colloquial form of "estou vivendo" (I am living), using the present continuous to emphasize that he is currently experiencing his peak.

• Ela pede bença, bença / Ela pede bença pro papai

  ➔ Repetition for emphasis, "pede bença" (asks for blessing)

  ➔ The repetition of "bença" emphasizes the action and highlights the cultural significance of asking for a blessing from the "papai" (father).

• Que tá gostosa demais

  ➔ Superlative using "demais"

  ➔ "Demais" intensifies the adjective "gostosa" (delicious/attractive), meaning "too much" or "extremely". It forms a superlative to express that she is extremely attractive.

• Ela engole, engole, como fosse mamadeira

  ➔ Repetition, Subjunctive Mood ("fosse") in a simile

  ➔ The repetition of "engole" (swallows) emphasizes the action. The use of "como fosse" (as if it were) followed by the subjunctive "fosse" creates a simile. "Fosse" is the imperfect subjunctive of the verb "ser" (to be).
