One-word Portuguese Lesson [Video]: Fuleiro

One-word Portuguese Lesson [Video]: Fuleiro

posted on May 16, 2018

Fuleiro - Portuguese lesson - Brazilian Portuguese Vocabulary

Here’s another word that you may not find in books and magazines too often, but that Brazilians use regularly: fuleiro.

In this post I tell you what fuleiro means, I give examples using the word, and you can learn the pronunciation of fuleiro with the video below.

Fuleiro

Fuleiro is an adjective that means:

  • of poor, bad quality
  • not reliable

Because it is an adjective, it agrees in gender and number with the word that it describes.

Examples using the fuleiro:

  1. Esse sapato é fuleiro. Comprei há duas semanas e já está parecendo velho. = These shoes are of bad quality. I bought them two weeks ago and they already look old.
  2. Que bolsas fuleiras! Não vão durar muito. = How cheap these purses are! They won’t last long.
  3. Alberto é muito fuleiro. Não dá pra contar com ele pra nada.
