意味
To enjoy the positive results of one's hard work.
文化的背景
In Brazil, the phrase is often associated with 'meritocracia' (meritocracy), a widely debated topic. It is used to validate the success of someone who came from a humble background. In Portugal, there is a strong connection to the land. The phrase feels less like 'corporate speak' and more like a traditional piece of wisdom passed down through generations. In Angolan Portuguese, the phrase is used in post-conflict discourse to describe the benefits of peace and national reconstruction. Often used in the context of the diaspora; Cape Verdeans working abroad 'colhem os frutos' to help their families back home.
Use with 'Finalmente'
This phrase pairs perfectly with 'finalmente' (finally) to emphasize the long wait.
Don't say 'Colher as frutas'
Even though 'frutas' is more common for eating, the idiom strictly uses 'frutos'.
