Como dizer "manchas roxas pelo corpo" em inglês
Hi there,
Como eu digo "manchas roxas pelo corpo"?
Fiquei em dúvida por causa dos diferentes termos em que cores são usadas nos dois idiomas.
Sei que os termos 'hematomas' ou 'bruises' estão certos, mas, e se eu quiser explicar a cor dos tais hematomas?
Poderia ser 'purple'??
Thanks in advance!

Although "roxas" would be "purple", surprisingly you will hear/read of bruises described as being "black and blue".
In the song "To Make You Feel My Love", you will hear:
I'd go black and blue for you
I'd go crawling down the avenue
There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

Thanks for answering Thomas.
Funny difference between the two languages... ^^ I can't see a hemathoma being 'black and blue', but that's ok. By the way, in German, it's 'Blaues Auge' -- or 'olho azul' (blue eye) when you want to say 'black eye'... Go Figure...! I love learning new languages!

As always Thomas and Donay provide invaluable insights to us. I have learned a lot from you, keep up the good work!
And Ravenna, thanks for sharing your experience with the beautiful language of initial capitalized nouns! I tried to learn some German, but I stopped when they had to put me in a straight jacket. But, nice language. Hats off to you.
