Discussion
'Boa! Pode ser...como é algo que o estão deixando impressionados, poderíamos traduzir como "Rapaz!" ou "Cara!", "Meu!", "Maluco!", alguma outra sugestão? Obrigada!'
‘An expression of encouragement, support, or approval toward a boy, man, or male animal, used as a standalone interjection before or after a sentence. Largely presumed to be a corruption of the expression "that's the boy"; it is also sometimes spelled "atta boy." You won the spelling bee? Attaboy!’ (
