What Is the Difference Between "garota" and "rapariga" in Portuguese?

Thanks for A2A, but I can see that already plenty of people stepped in and did a very good job answering your question.Talking from a Portuguese from Portugal perspective, both u201cgarotau201d and u201craparigau201d will be totally acceptable and fine in a conversation, if spoken by a non-native speaker (we can spot that fairly easily), even though there are a few differences already explained.Both words, coming from a non-native speaker, would be interpreted as the same.

There are a few nuances, but I donu2019t think that a native speaker would be expecting someone to know them, so they would just assume that u201cgarotau201d, which is the least common term, was being used as a synonym of u201craparigau201d. Which, in a way, itu2019s true, they are somewhat synonyms.Iu2019ll explain my understanding regarding the difference, most of it was already mentioned, except from one point which I think itu2019s relevant:u201cRaparigau201d is u201cGirlu201d in English.

It can be used to describe a female of any age up to adulthood. Reaching adulthood, the term would be u201cmulheru201d, woman. u201cRaparigau201d can be used since birth, as already mentioned.

And even in some informal adulthood scenarios.Regarding u201cgarotau201d, I think itu2019s an acceptable synonym, but it depends on the tone of the conversation and who is saying it, as it can have a negative connotation (both u201cgarotou201d/u201dgarotau201d).If itu2019s an older person, they will use it as a synonym of u201craparigau201d most of the times.

However, if a middle-aged adult uses it, the probability of containing this negative connotation increases drastically. In this context, it would mean something like u201cnasty/little girlu201d, in the sense of that little annoying kid throwing a tantrum or overall just doing something childish or stupid. An example of using it in a sentence would be u201cComportaste-te como uma garotau201d / u201cYou behaved like a little girlu201d.

Maybe Iu2019m over-analyzing it, but thatu2019s the difference I perceive between the two words. They are probably used interchangeably most of the times, even among native speakers, so donu2019t worry much about it, we will totally understand what you mean , regardless of which one you use.Hope it helped, good luck learning Portuguese, feel free to ask more questions so we can help you!

I know that catcalling is actually harassment and quite rude, so what do I say instead?

Here are some examples of what to say (panels 1-4) and what not to say (panel 5).

The trouble is, many things can be mistaken for street harassment / catcalling depending on the individual recipient. Individuals even can vary in their receptive depending on what kind of day they've had, they're mood, etc. It doesn't matter how kindly your address a woman who, unbeknownst to you, was raped half an hour ago.

She may present as shy, fearful, hateful, angry, or aggressive. Or she may just ignore you. Or run off screaming.

On the other hand, an alt model covered in tattoos and piercings MAY respond to u201cHey, lass, those legs go all the way up!u201d with a grin, a wink, u201cfinger gunsu201d, and a clucking of her tongue. Or she may react the same as my hypothetical assault survivor, minus the assault.

And there's no way to know ahead of time.That said, here are my field notes as a world traveller and professional guardsman. Don't approach or address a woman wearing headphones.

Exception: to impart urgent or emergency information - u201cYou were asking about the #5 bus to Cambridge? That's it pulling around the corner now.u201d u201cA man's fainted, quick, dial 999 and tell them we need an ambulance!

u201dDo approach from within her line of vision. Let her see you coming. Ensure your approach is audible as well (whistling, footfalls), especially if approaching within her sightline is impossible.

Do make eye contact, smile and nod. Keep your hands visible. Move naturally, not quickly or slowly.

Don't get too close. Stop far enough away that she would not be able to kick you, even if she suddenly surged forward. This is not just for her sake; for all you know, this total stranger is a violent criminal.

Do deliver a succinct, personal compliment - efficiently. One line, about her as a human being, not about her as a woman. Her humanity can include her femininity but her femininity is not the extent of her humanity.

This doesn't have to be the thing you noticed about her. u201cExcuse me, I just wanted to say that's a fantastic scarf / lovely smile / cute outfit / striking pair of eyes / gorgeous voice / etc / you've got there.u201dDon't attempt to initiate conversation.

You wanted to compliment her and you have done. Gracefully bugger off. u201cGlad I could brighten your day / Sorry my timing wasn't better - must be going, take care!

u201dDo depart expeditiously, unlessu2026u2026if she initiates conversation - full-blown honest-to-goodness conversation, not a quick exchange - proceed at your discretion. Bear in mind the unknown quantity she represents. Remain aware of your surroundings and of her hands, eyes, shoulders.

u201cHands do the stealing, hands do the killing.u201d Socially, be open to things besides dates and sex. She may well be a useful ally and/or the sister you never had.

Or not. But you'll never know if you try to railroad shenanigans. Shenanigans are great, but they can be found many places true companionship cannot.

How do you write u201cHello worldu201d in x86_64 assembly?

I would break down writing a barebones Hello World! x86_64 assembly program into 2 components:1.

Data Storage: The first section of the code is where we define our programs data. This section always starts out with the formality section .data, to let the compiler know that we are setting the data for the program.

section .data text db Hello, World!, 10db stands for define bytesin this section, we are defining the bytes that we are storing in the program.

Lets break down the statement text db Hello, World!:We assign the data Hello, World!n to some portion of the computers memory (10 is the ASCII integer value that corresponds to a newline (n)).

text names a memory reference such that whenever we use text, the assembler (compiles the assembly code) automatically returns the memory address that stores our text Hello, World!n.3.

System Calls: The second section of the code is where we execute system calls. The below section of code is a formality for every x86_64 Assembly program, which tells the assembler that the code after this segment contains the system calls that are executed.section .

textglobal _start_start:A computer CPU contains a series of quickly accessible memory spots called registers that store information used to execute commands. Each system call consists of a series of parameters, which describe the movement and processing of bytes of data to these various registers (these can be looked up in the official x86_64 Assembly Documentation). For instance, the system call to print text to the console is called sys_write, which has the following parameters:ID (Register RAX): 1 (The id of a system call is a predefined constant)File Descriptor (Register RDI): We are outputting data to the console, thus, we pass 1 to this parameter.

0 (Standard Input)1 (Standard Output)2 (Standard Error)Buffer (Register RSI): Where to write the string in memory (we attached the label text to refer to the memory address where Hello, world! was stored).Count (Register RDX): Length of string (14 characters).

The following assembly code moves the values into the proper registers for the sys_write call. At the end of loading in the parameters, the syscall instruction is executed to initiate the system call.mov rax, 1mov rdi, 1mov rsi, textmov rdx, 14syscallAn important practice in any assembly program is to call the system exit at the end of the instructions to tell the kernel that there are no more instructions to execute.

The below code executes a sys_exit call:mov rax, 60mov rdi, 0syscallBelow is the complete program:section .data text db "Hello, world!", 10section .

textglobal _start_start: mov rax, 1 mov rdi, 1 mov rsi, text mov rdx, 14 syscall mov rax, 60 mov rdi, 0 syscall
