In a hurry, short on time…. your day was rushed?
Obviously these expressions are not directly translated into Brazilian Portuguese. But, their not hard to learn either.
You need to know that:
‘To be in a hurry’ > ESTAR COM PRESSA
So for example, ‘I’m in a hurry” = estou com pressa.
To say something like: ‘Where are you going in such a hurry’> ‘PARA ONDE VOCE VAI COM TANTA PRESSA’
You can also use the verb CORRER to express hurry and rush. Here’s how:
‘I’m in a rush’ = ESTOU NA CORRERIA
And, if something or someone was in rushed or hurried, you can say:
‘Meu dia foi corrido’ and,
‘Minha semana foi muita corrida’
* note the gender endings!
