Hi, guys! How can I say "Ele vive no mundo da Lua" in English?
Thanks a lot!

[Marcio_Farias]

"He daydreams a lot!" (He stands way off somewhere in the clouds)

Olá Anita,

Outra sugestão:

"He lives in a dream world."

Bons estudos!

[Rayssa77]

Quando aprendemos um idioma existe o fator cultural. "No mundo da lua" é uma expressão da Língua Portuguesa. Como foi citado acima, o melhor seria adaptar para Dream World. Pense que vc não poderá traduzir tudo, por exemplo, tente falar para um Americano "Speak Really" (Fala sério). Ele não entenderá. É uma questão de aprender as expressões da língua Inglesa.

Thanks, Márcio and Donay for your suggestions. Also, thanks Rayssa for your observation; yet, I always expect to hear something here that would be kind of the same thing because I know that it's sometimes impossible to have an exact equivalence between two languages concerning their idioms. These are the ones I enjoy learning most

Hi there!

minha sugestão: to be absent-minded

Ex: he's always absent-minded

Take care,

Daniel
