I still have to reach for the dictionary a fair bit, especially when reading something high-brow, but it’s not often I hit a sentence that has four unknown words in it.
Não se lembrava ela de lhe ter visto os dentes, mas recorda-lhe as mãos gorilentas, as calças de seriguilha descaídas no ventre e em cujo cós deve estar enfiada uma podoa em jeito de faca recurva.
Check this out.
Gorilenta isn’t even in the dictionary but I think I can guess it…
She didn’t remember having seen his teeth but she remembered his gorilla-like hands, the trousers of rough wool, sagging in the belly, and in whose waistband is stuck a pruning shear in the form of a curved knife.
Ooof!
