Brasil lesson
A carioca is someone born in the city of Rio de Janeiro. David and I are cariocas.
A mineiro is someone born in Minas Gerais (which technically means General Mines, and mineiro means miner). David and I are meeting mineiros right now, or at least people living in MG.
A paulista is someone born in São Paulo. David and I had an easier time understanding paulistas than cariocas (they seem to talk more slowly, clearly, and simply).
A gaúcho is someone born in Rio Grande do Sul. Dave and I will be meeting a lot more of these guys starting 15 July.
