   Translating Portuguese subjunctives directly in to English to sound like I’m in an 18th century novel is my new hobby.

   Children, leave your father in peace that he better tend to his consumption!

     @grayface_ghost My own English vocab has a bunch of Portuguese loanwords. Most notably, my entire family has adopted “trotinete”, as there’s no specific word for it in English (kick scooter, I guess, but that’s two words)
