Hi,

Como diria: A ingenuidade pode ser defeito ou qualidade. Defeito quando levam você no papo.

Tks!!

[josneywat]

Being naive can be either a vice or a virtue. Vice when people think you're an easy target.

Maybe not the equivalent. Will try later.

Butterfly,

Sugestão:

Levar no papo:To fool

Ser levado no papo:To be fooled,duped

Boa sorte!

[Breckenfeld]

My suggestion:

To sweet-talk.


Bye!

[josneywat]

To be in the bag is also 'no papo' depending on the context.

We can start celebrating, the contract is in the bag.

It's difficult to think of naivete as a virtue, but it seems to work for trust:

Trust can be a sign of virtue or flaw. It's a flaw when one's too easily swayed by talk.

I like Henry's thoughtful response. An equivalent way of swaying "to be swayed by talk" is "to be talked into [doing/thinking] something'.
