phrases i have picked up along the way

voce pode subir

can you go up ( the hill )? to uber driver, the slope from the street to my airbnb is very steep and i have to book a “comfort car” in uber everytime i do grocery, so the car can go up. for the first few days, i would just point towards the slope and hope they would understand I want them to go up. but eventually decided to learn the sentence “voce pode subir”

hortella

mint i wanted to add mint on top of menemen that i am making for breakfast these days. looked it up at the grocery store

salsinha picada

chopped parsley i wasn’t sure if it meant picante salsa ( from espanol ). It was green, so couldn’t be salsa but salsa also means sauce, so could be green chilli. although it did look more like chopped leaves, but i assumed that maybe there is a type of leaf that is spicy by nature. I did buy salsinha picada to add on top of taco sandwiches.
