معنی
To become obligated to pay money to someone.
زمینه فرهنگی
The 'Cadastro Positivo' is a recent system in Brazil to track those who do NOT contract bad debts, aiming to lower interest rates for good payers. During the 2011-2014 financial crisis, 'contrair dívida' became a phrase associated with national survival and subsequent austerity (austeridade). In oil-dependent economies like Angola, 'contrair dívida' is often discussed in relation to infrastructure projects funded by foreign powers. The 'dívida de gratidão' is a powerful social currency. Repaying a favor is often seen as more important than repaying a bank.
Use in Business
In a business meeting, always use 'contrair' instead of 'fazer' to sound more professional and precise.
