Professional TeacherEver feel like your brain is floating away mid-conversation? We have the perfect idiom for that: “Estou com a cabeça nas nuvens” (literally, “My head is in the clouds”). But here’s the fun part: it’s not just about distraction—it’s a poetic way to admit you’re lost in thought, fantasizing about that beach vacation, or replaying last night’s novela drama. 🌴📺
Example:
“—Você ouviu o que eu falei?
—Ah, desculpa… tô com a cabeça nas nuvens pensando naquele pôr do sol de Copacabana!”
💡 Challenge: Next time someone catches you zoning out, use this phrase and watch them laugh in solidarity.😌
