Hi Henrique!

You can say "on the contrary"!

Hello,


You say I don´t like Joana,"it´s quite the opposite actually",I care a lot about her.


Abraço,

[Henrique Arcoverde]

obrigado pessoal

Always I can I try not to use words that have similarities (like I just did ) with Portuguese.
(Always I can I try to use words that have not to do with Portuguese.)

That's just my opinion (again) but I think that gets one to learn a more independent (again) English from Portuguese language.

In that case perhaps I'd say "It's just the other way around."

Would you mind if I ask you why do you think I have a funny way of writing ?

Hello AgoodNando,

I was just trying to say:"people should be happy always" and, by coincidence,I was dealing with the message you had sent then.

Keep visting us.

All the best!

Hi Henrique!

You can say "on the contrary"!

Eu tenho que me livrar dessa mania de ficar marcando o cantinho das páginas dos livros que eu leio toda vez que eu encontro alguma coisa que já foi discutida no fórum!

"I am not bitter because of what has happened. On the contrary. I am secure in knowing that what we had was real, and I am happy we were able to come together for even a short period ot time." extract from The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks.

Eu nao falo da joana assim pq eu não gosto dela , MUITO PELO CONTRÁRIO , é pq eu me importo até demais com ela

I don't speak of Joana in this way because I don't like her; much to the contrary, it's because in fact she matters a great deal to me.

"Much to the contrary" ou "on the contrary" seriam as minhas formas preferidas neste caso.
