I won the lottery

Você sabe como pronunciar o passado do verbo "to win" em inglês?

Ele é um verbo irregular biforme, isto é,  apresenta-se em apenas duas formas:

to win - won - won

Cuidado ao pronunciar o passado dele tentando produzir o som da vogal "o"!!

Uma dica legal para você não errar é a seguinte:

A pronúncia do passado "won" é exatamente, eu disse "exatamente" a mesma pronúncia do número "um" em inglês, ou seja:

One = won 

Tá duvidando....

veja a transcrição fonética do dicionário Cambridge:

One /wʌn/

Won /wʌn/

Espero que goste da dica!

Para relaxar, leia a piadinha abaixo em que aparece "won":

Woman rushes into her house one morning and yells to her husband.
"Sam, pack up your stuff. I just won the lottery!"
"Shall I pack for warm weather or cold?"
"Whatever. Just so you're out of the house by noon!"

Vocabulário de apoio:

rush into = entrar correndo
yell to = gritar com
pack up = arrumar "as malas"
shall I = eu devo...
whatever = sei lá, não me importa
by noon = até o meio dia

BATER COM A LÍNGUA NOS DENTES

Acredito que você conheça a expressão em português "Bater com a língua nos dentes".

Caso não conheça, aí vai uma rápida explicação em português com alguns exemplos:

Bater com a língua nos dentes

Contar alguma coisa que ouviu ou que contaram. Não guardar algum segredo.

Ex^1: Ela saiu daqui e já foi bater com a língua nos dentes.

Ex^2: Alguém bateu com a língua nos dentes a respeito do plano do cara...

Um sinônimo seria: fofoqueiro.

E aí eu te pergunto: E em inglês como dizer isso?

Esta expressão em português com 6 palavras resume-se em apenas uma em inglês:

TO BLAB  (pronuncia-se /blæb/)

 
* As preposições usados depois de "to blab" são "to" ou "about"

Vamos a definição dela em inglês para ver se bate com a definição em português?

Dicionário Cambridge: to talk carelessly or too much, often telling others something you should keep secret

Traduzindo: falar sem cuidados ou demais, frequentemente contando aos outros algo que você deveria guardar em segredo.

Dicionário Oxford: to tell somebody information that should be kept secret

Traduzindo: Contar para alguém uma informação que deveria ser guardada em segredo.

Vamos ver alguns exemplos:

She blabbed the whole story. 

Someone must have blabbed to the police.

Somebody blabbed to the press.

E tem mais, quem faz isso, em inglês é chamado de 

BLABBERMOUTH
