Pessoal,

'Float' pode ser em AmE uma bebida(refrigerante,etc) com sorvete.No brazil,em algumas regiões,chama-se a mistura de coca cola com sorvete de 'Vaca-preta, que pode equivaler a 'Coke float' em inglês.




Bons estudos!

Good one Donay!

I didn't even know there was an expression like this in Brazil.

All the best.

Interestingly, the "Black Cow" drink exists in English, with a meaning similar to the Portuguese, although the ingredients differ:

"Region appears to dictate the name and contents of this cold, sweet drink. Known as a root beer float, a black cow, a brown cow, and a sassy cow, this all-American favorite is a snap to make. This recipe serves one."

See http://www.ehow.com/how_4094_make-black-cow.html

Now, how do you say "root beer" in Portuguese?
