Como digo por exemplo:

"ela estava fuçando / bisbilhiotando na minha pagina do orkut pra ver minhas fotos"


"O que vc esta fuçando nestas caixas?"

Obrigada

[Agnes]

Oi Sophia,

Pry into - intrometer-se, bisbilhotar
Snoop into - more informal: fuçar

"She was prying into my orkut page to see my photos"
"What are you snooping into these boxes?"

Pessoal,

Complementando,

Poke around

Um exemplo do Google:

So if you poke around on my Facebook page, please understand my “likes” aren't necessarily endorsements.

Boa sorte!

[sophiaschimidt]

vale tambem pra no caso quando dissemos "nao se intrometa no assunto" "nao se intrometa onde nao fois chamado?"

[donay mendonça]

Sophia,

Neste caso, prefiro interfere:

Don't interfere in what doesn't concern you.(Oxford)
Não se intrometa no que não te diz respeito.

She doesn't interfere in my life and I don't interfere in hers.
Ela não se intromete na minha vida e eu não me intrometo na dela.(www.ok.co.uk)

Bons estudos!
