To pay attention to advice or gossip.
文化的背景
In Brazil, 'dar ouvidos' is often linked to the concept of 'olho gordo' (evil eye). People are warned not to listen to those who might be trying to bring them down with negative words. In Portugal, the expression is used with a bit more formality. It's common in literature to see characters 'prestando ouvidos' to fate or to the sea, reflecting the country's lyrical and maritime history. In Angolan social dynamics, 'dar ouvidos' to the 'mais-velhos' (elders) is a sign of good upbringing and respect for the community's hierarchy. In Mozambique, the phrase is often used in the context of community health and education campaigns, urging people to 'dar ouvidos' to health workers rather than myths.
