1 year agoYou are not wrong, but you are no right either. Here the OK hand gesture is just that, the OK hand gesture, there’s a similar gesture meant to be insulting, but it’s largely context dependent.
Could you give me some exemples of ‘de’ sounding like ‘juh’? It may be because Brasil is a really big place, or a language barrier, but I never heard anyone pronounce ‘de’ like like that, what I commonly see, especially since I also do it, is changing ‘de’ to ‘di’ and ‘do’ to ‘du’ when speaking. Also, this happens with many words with ‘o’ and ‘e’, a lot of people just replace ‘o’ with ‘u’ and ‘e’ with ‘i’.
