We spend so much of our life in bed, it really shows that getting the right bed is probably a big deal. But what do you do when the bed is uncomfortable. It may be that buying another one will change things, or maybe not. It’s such a hard decision, but at least we’ll give you the language necessary to make that decision in Portuguese.DialogueA: Ai, sabe, eu nunca gostei dessa cama, as vezes parece dura demais, e as vezes parece mole demais. B: Por quê você não compra outra? A: Ah, essa saiu tão cara, e quem sabe se eu comprar uma nova vai ser igual. B: Eu sei, fazer o que, né? A: É, as vezes eu acordo com dor nas costas, e outras vezes com dor no pescoço. B: Será que não é o caso de trocar de travesseiro. A: Já troquei, mas sabe, é a cama mesmo.A: Ay, you know, I never liked this bed, sometimes it seems too hard, and sometimes it seems too soft. B: Why don’t you buy another one? A: Oh, this one was so expensive, and who knows if I buy a new one that it won’t be the same. B: I know, what can you do, you know? A: Yeah, sometimes I wake up with a sore back, other times with a sore neck. B: Maybe it’s a matter of changing your pillow. A: I already did change, you know, it really is the bed.
