뜻
To perform better than anticipated or hoped for.
문화적 배경
The term 'superação' is a national buzzword. It appears in sports, soap operas (telenovelas), and news to describe anyone overcoming poverty or disability. 'Superar expectativas' is the professional version of this deep cultural value. In Portugal, 'superar expectativas' is often linked to the idea of 'fado' or destiny being challenged by hard work. It is used with a sense of quiet pride in professional circles. In Angola, the phrase is frequently used in the context of national reconstruction and economic growth after the civil war, often appearing in government speeches. Similar to Angola, it is used in developmental contexts, especially regarding education and public health milestones.
Use 'Todas'
To sound more native and enthusiastic, add 'todas': 'Superou todas as expectativas'.
Avoid 'Expectações'
English speakers often invent the word 'expectações'. It doesn't exist. Always use 'expectativas'.
