Title
Hey ma'am!
Text
Submitted by maribola
Source language: English Translated by IanMegill2

Hey ma'am!
You always take such good care of me...wa ha ha ha ha ha
Kiss!!! Seeya
Remarks about the translation
Literally:
Hey, "kami"! A fair bit
I'm going to cause you (or: I cause you) trouble (i.e. because you have to take care of me)...
ha ha (x3)
Kiss(es -- it could be plural in English)!!! Goodbye
---
The "kami" in the text is unclear.
I translated it here as a "slangy" diminutive of "o-kami-san." This is a "nickname" usually used to address the female owners/managers of restaurants or bars, and "jovially" to older women and wives in general...
I know "kami" also means "God," but it sure didn't seem right to use it in this context, and in its short form "kami"! No one would ever say that here... Ó_Ò
---
This "kami" is probably a typo for "kimi" which means "you" (it is an informal, friendly/affectionate for of the word "you"). Thank you to cesur_civciv for this suggestion! ^_^
If the word here is really "kimi," the text would mean:
Hi honey/buddy!
You always....(etc.)

casper,

Não é o caso de usar a segunda pessoa na segunda e na terceira frases para manter a formalidade do tratamento "senhora"?

Nããão. Esse ma'am me parece mais uma brincadeira entre os dois. Vide comentários.
Eu ia té traduzir como "dona", mas achei que ficaria muito brega.

"Senhora" soa formal demais.

Don't Brazilians use "rsrsrs" to emote laughter on-line instead of "Hahaha"?

Just a question I have due to some on-line experiences with Brazilians.

Hehe.
We use as follows:
rsrs...
haha...
hehe...
hihi...
kuakua... (I think it's more like a duck laughing)
huahua... (looks like the guy has some problems)
and so on.
I prefer the sound that laughter really do, which is: hahaha

Triton, I have been fooled up to now, I thought you were Brazilian, can you believe that?

On the other hand, just so you know, laughters in Spanish are represented as: "ja ja ja."

Really Guilon? Haha, wow that makes me feel really good about my Portuguese then.

I was familiar with Spanish laughter being represented as "ja ja ja"--I have a bit more experience with the language than Portuguese, even though my ratings say otherwise.
