معنی
To lie in the sun to get a tan.
زمینه فرهنگی
In Brazil, taking sun is a social event. People often go in groups, share 'água de coco', and stay for hours. Tanning is highly valued. In Portugal, 'apanhar sol' is the preferred term. While tanning is popular, there is also a strong tradition of 'esplanadas' (outdoor cafes) where people sit just to be in the sun. In Luanda, the 'Ilha do Cabo' is a prime spot for 'tomar sol'. The phrase is used similarly to Brazil, emphasizing leisure and the beach lifestyle.
The 'Take' Rule
In Portuguese, you 'take' (tomar) many things: sun, rain, wind, and even coffee. It implies experiencing or consuming the element.
Weather vs. Action
Never say 'Eu faço sol'. Only the sky 'faz sol'. You 'toma sol'.

سوالات متداول
6 سوالNot necessarily. It can just mean sitting in the sun for warmth or health, though tanning is the most common association.
No, that sounds poetic but is not a standard expression. Stick to 'tomar'.
In Brazil, it's very common and correct in informal speech. In Portugal, it's less common.
You say 'Tomei sol demais' or 'Peguei muito sol'.
In Portuguese, we usually omit the article 'o'. Just 'tomar sol' is the standard.
There isn't a direct opposite, but you could say 'ficar na sombra' (stay in the shade).
