To give an ice.

意味

To ignore someone or give them the cold shoulder, showing disdain.

🌍

文化的背景

In Brazil, social harmony is highly valued. 'Dar um gelo' is a common way to express anger without direct confrontation, which can be seen as too aggressive. While 'dar um gelo' is understood, the Portuguese often use 'fazer o gelo' or 'fazer orelhas moucas' (to make deaf ears). In Angolan Portuguese, slang like 'mudar de mambo' or 'dar banda' can sometimes overlap with the idea of ignoring or leaving someone behind. The idiom has evolved into 'dar um vácuo' in the age of smartphones, specifically referring to leaving someone without a reply on messaging apps.

💡

Use with 'em'

Always remember the preposition 'em'. If you ignore 'him', it's 'nele' (em + ele). If you ignore 'her', it's 'nela' (em + ela).

⚠️

Don't use at work

It's too informal for a professional environment. Use 'não responder' or 'ignorar' instead.
