सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Brazilians are extremely hospitable. If you say 'Estou com fome', expect to be offered a variety of snacks, from pão de queijo to coxinha. In Portugal, meal times are strictly observed. Saying 'Tenho fome' outside of lunch (13:00) or dinner (20:00) might lead to a discussion about the best 'pasteleria' nearby. In Angola, sharing food is a sign of community. The phrase might be followed by an invitation to share a 'funge'. The concept of 'merenda' or 'lanche' is a specific small meal to bridge the gap between main meals when you feel 'um pouco de fome'.
