What does "raça" means in (Brazilian) Portuguese ? When this word is associated with martial arts and combat sports, I've been told that it is something between race/breed and willingness, but I don't get how to mix those two meanings. Can you explain this meaning or do you have a synonym in English ? Obrigado."Race" is definitely the first meaning. But I'm looking for details about what "raça" means when used like this: -- (no peito e) na raça -- ter raça: to have guts http://dictionnaire.reverso.net/portugais-anglais/ra%C3%A7a Thanks.

Introduction Hello, I'm a native French speaker and I'm here to find teachers or fellow learners to help me improve my language skills. I am learning Spanish because I like travelling to Spanish-speaking countries and especially because I'm really interested in Mesoamerica (Mexico history etc.). I plan to take Nahuatl classes and I'm also learning Spanish in order to smoothen those upcoming sessions. On the other hand, I also look forward to improving my spoken English as it is not quite on par with my oral and written comprehension level. Thank you for reading.
