意味
To not reveal confidential information.
文化的背景
In Brazil, the expression 'boca de siri' is very popular. It refers to how a crab (siri) closes its mouth tightly and won't let go. In Portugal, people might say 'segredo de polichinelo' for a secret that everyone actually knows, though it's a bit more literary. Children often use a 'pinky swear' gesture while saying 'jura?' (do you swear?) to ensure a secret is kept.
Drop the Article
In casual conversation, just say 'guardar segredo' instead of 'guardar um segredo'. It sounds more native.
Don't use 'Keep'
Avoid saying 'manter' unless you are in a very formal business meeting. 'Guardar' is the heart of the language here.
