Olá Tivfoa,

Boa dica!

Também:Keep your eyes skinned

Talk to her and keep your eyes skinned.(Fale com ela e fique de olhos bem abertos.)


Valeu!

[tivrfoa]

Nice.

I think "fique de olhos bem abertos" is a better translation. "mantenha os olhos abertos" is a little bit awkward. It looks like a ophthalmologist speaking. =)
"mantenha os olhos bem abertos" sounds better.

tivrfoa, how awkward, if you care to tell us, does "mantenha os olhos abertos" sound without the "bem"?

Sorry Marcio, it is not awkward. It's because I was imagining an ophthalmologist saying it, but all translations would be strange if we think this way.

tivrfoa, thank you for replying. I agree with you.
