"Bola" in Portuguese Br
Hi there!
Please, guys, who speak Brazilian Portuguese or not-Brazilian Portuguese as well, could you type the most popular phrases with the word "bola".
I know that due to Brazilian culture a soccer (football) is an essential part of the social life, and word a ball is being used in so many ways, that I am lost now with this.
Thank you

"vamos bater uma bola?"
meaning 'let's play football, shall we ', but literally 'let's beat/hit one ball?"
" a bola é sua", meaning "it's your time" or "the problem is yours to solve", literally "the ball belongs to you"

Thank you so much, Kenji.
Could you please a little more clarify this phrase - Ele/ela está com a bola toda - He/she is in the headlines (in a good way).
And could you actually provide that other phrases of sexual meaning, because I would like to be aware what people talk around me, and this is the hardest thing to learn because there is no information in books about it. That is why it is so good to have iTalki and to get learned from the natives. If you wish, you could type me this in my direct.
Thank you
