A1 Collocation 中性

Ter um problema.

To have a problem.

意思

To encounter a difficulty or issue.

🌍

文化背景

The 'Jeitinho Brasileiro' means that having a problem is often seen as an opportunity for creative negotiation rather than a dead end. Portuguese people tend to be more direct about problems in a formal context, often citing specific regulations. In Luanda, 'ter um problema' can sometimes be expressed as 'estar com mambo', where 'mambo' is a versatile slang for 'thing' or 'issue'. Similar to other Lusophone African countries, the phrase is standard, but often followed by a very communal approach to solving it.
