सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Brazilians often use 'dar sorte' to refer to objects or actions that bring luck, like wearing yellow for money or eating lentils on New Year's. In Portugal, 'ter sorte' is often used in a more reserved way. Excessive boasting about luck can be seen as inviting 'mau-olhado' (the evil eye). The 'figa' (a fist with the thumb between the index and middle fingers) is a common hand gesture used to ensure one continues to 'ter sorte'.
The 'Have' Rule
Always associate luck with possession. You 'own' your luck in Portuguese.
Ser vs Ter
Using 'Eu sou sorte' sounds like you are the physical embodiment of luck itself, which is poetic but usually wrong.
