معنی
To take something seriously and be deeply affected by it.
زمینه فرهنگی
In Brazil, 'tomar a peito' is often replaced by 'levar pro pessoal' in casual speech, especially when talking about being offended. However, in professional settings, 'tomar a peito' remains the mark of a high-level speaker. Portuguese people value 'entrega' (delivery/dedication). Taking a task 'a peito' is seen as a noble trait of a 'trabalhador sério'. In Angolan Portuguese, the phrase is used similarly to Portugal, often appearing in political discourse to show a leader's commitment to the people. The phrase is used in formal education and media to encourage students and citizens to embrace their responsibilities.
The 'Negative' Power
Use 'Não tome a peito' as a magic phrase to soften any criticism you give to a Portuguese speaker.
Don't over-pluralize
Never say 'tomar aos peitos'. It's always singular 'peito'.
