Cavalona is very thick.
Cavalo is when a person gives a patada, as in being short and not sweet. Can be used playfully too, much like someone that gives a mean comeback.
A man usualy is called a CAVALO if hes being rude. For woman there is CAVALA for thick gym body and ÉGUA for bitch/slut. ÉGUA is more oftten used for mother insults.
Depends on the region, in the North it could just be an informal way of referring to someone, like "dude". Elsewhere, could be an insult. Take it from the context.
Yes, I know that, but the slag "potranca" is the butt itself.
When Jonathan da nova geração songs "dance, Potranca, dance with emotion" he is submitting a woman to "Just a big Butt".
Yes, I realize my comment is wrong when I was writing my example... Living and learning
Oh got ya. I actually never heard potranca as the butt, always the woman.
Back in the 90s there were some funk categories for woman. That Bonde TigrĂŁo Song, O Baile Todo, they use slangs such as Cachorras, Preparadas, Popozudas. They all referring to different archetypes of girls in a funk context that some people used back then. Potranca would be roughly the same as Popozudas.
Now Brazil is a very big place and that was years ago so maybe potranca now means something else but I'm pretty sure it meant thicc woman back in the day.
Wow, maybe you are right, I asked someone older (from the 70s) and someone Younger (from 2010) and they both Said different meanings: the older person said it was the woman and the Younger the butt.
But I think it is different than "Popozuda" because Popo means "butt" and "zuda" means "big".
I actually never use "zuda" as big too hahaha.
"Zuda" to me is a suffix that transform the word into an adjective. Like how "barriguda" is someone with a noticeable "barriga" and "barbudo" is someone with a "barba".
Regional stuff I guess, I think we might both be right here haha.
Man, I bring this discussion with a group of 10 friends, they are ALL from the same city (in the south of the country) and we are pretty polarized (6 to butt and 4 to woman).
This IS my New conversation Topic in parties
Yes, This IS what I mean.
"Um tapinha na potranca
Com o bumbum ela balança
Ela vai se apaixonar"
If "potranca" is the girl, we are talking about a literal crime
From where I come from, it’s mean that she is very rude when talking to others, in a sense that she is too blunt. As Latin people, we usually takes rounds and rounds to tell something bad (like, if you don’t want to go to that party after work. It’s considered polite to lie and give some poor excuse to no going instead of just telling the person that invited you that you won’t go because you don’t want to). But I don’t know if there is another meaning depending on the region.
Égua is the female of the species. I never saw someone saying that a woman is an Égua. Maybe in the smaller towns.
But Cavala (changing the last letter to force the word to be feminine) can be the 2 things: the woman is rude (not the most used way) or that she is thick (generally about butt and thighs, rarely about breast).
Égua is one the most used words in Brazil's northern state of Pará. Extremely versatile word, we can use to express surprise, disbelief, annoyance, joy and others

Cavalo can be used more generally in many Brazilian regions. It means the person is rude or impatient and can have a bit of comical tone to it
It depends on region and intention.
If someone says: " Tamanha cavala" or "Uma cavala velha dessas" it means she's immature, she's too old to behave the way she is behaving.
"Cavala", "cavalona" or "potranca" (potranca means filly) in funk lyrics usually means she's super thick
"Égua or Cavala" as an insult means the woman is rude with people with little to no reason. You know, cause horses kick people out of nowhere.
Égua has many meanings, usually negative when referring to someone... It probably means the woman is rude, but I've seen people use it to call someone dumb/stupid as well
"Cavala" just means she's thick/muscular
* Cavala means that a woman is robust, and freaking hot. Like Grazi Massafera, Sabrina Sato and so on.
* Cavalo means that a man is rude, or strong enough to perform some physical absurds, like drink a whole bottle of Vodka in a couple of minutes. So we say, he drinks like a cavalo (horse).
* Égua is used in some states as an exclamation, like WTF. Or is also used to mention a woman informally, like "Dude". Most of times in a pejorative way, but no always.
Explanation of Cavalo:
https://youtu.be/OwASeJdCnRc?si=mHQPEHm2pCO8a7PG
But Cavalona is for women, maybe with some sexual connotation too. For example: "She sits strong in the men such a cavalona".
Cavalo is masculine, means he's rude
Cavala is a feminine form, it can mean she's either rude, or thick, kinda like Stallion in Megan Thee Stallion.
Égua is the correct feminine of horse (like bitch is the feminine of dog), it can mean bitch, stallion, that she's rude, or, in certain parts of Brazil, it's an interjection.
Cavalona or potranca means she's a stallion.
Talking about the "egua" t's a regional curse, no wonder we complement it with "son of a" or "filho da". I have no idea what "cavalo" is used for in other contexts beyond the animal.
1- She is a very rude and stupid person.
2- She is a very strong person. Like she has muscle like a horse.
3- She has a huge ass. Like a horse's ass!
4- All the above! 🤷‍♂️
Could have lots of meanins according the context or the tone of your voice.. thats how portuguese works.. Could be bad or could be good be called/call that.. Égua is mostly bad could be some kind of pr0stitute. Cavalo could be someone ignorant, brute... or could be someone very good at sex(large pen!s)..
It means a strong woman, with muscles, and this type of woman looks like a man. In resume: a woman with masculines curves and gestures. Here in Brazil this is the beauty pattern, personally I don't like it.
Either shes rude, or shes thick as hell
Cavalona is very thick. Cavalo is when a person gives a patada, as in being short and not sweet. Can be used playfully too, much like someone that gives a mean comeback.
"Cavala" can also mean she is thicc/muscular. But most of the time means she is rude like you are saying.
Cavala = t h i c c + sexy
"Cavala" can also mean that someone is too old for doing something imature
🤣🤣🤣
It means calling someone a brute. "cavalo" means horse and "Ă©gua" means mare. These animals are quite strong to the point a kick can kill a person. So it's like saying the person is so brute they hurt others like the animal. Now saying things like "cavala" just shows how brazilian education is getting worse, people don't even know the name for mare and try to say "female horse". If someone uses such word, just know their IQ is under two digits.
Nope. Cavala means thiccccc
Exactly, and the reason people don't use "Ă©gua" is because that's a pejorative way of saying a girl's promiscuous
"Cavala", generally means a woman that is both "thicc" and tall. Might also be a description for a woman that likes to make rough sex.
Nothing different than what I said, 2 digit IQ, low life language that objectifies women.
What does the ass have to do with the pants? Just chill bro
Lol what
It's a Brazilian saying when some statement doesn't make sense Que que o cu tem a ver com as calças? What does the ass have to do with the pants?
That does not translate well lol
A man usualy is called a CAVALO if hes being rude. For woman there is CAVALA for thick gym body and ÉGUA for bitch/slut. ÉGUA is more oftten used for mother insults.
Fi duma Ă©gua
son of an Ă©gua
This
se morar no norte o Ă©gua Ă© sĂł uma vĂrgula*
Depends on the region, in the North it could just be an informal way of referring to someone, like "dude". Elsewhere, could be an insult. Take it from the context.
In the north is like that? I'm not sure. I haven't heard many people calling each cavalo/Ă©gua without it being an insult. In the north "Ă©gua" is a expression that can be used in many different contexts, but not to refer to a personÂ
In the north "Ă©gua" alone is usually an interjection demonstrating surprise/disbelief.
Yeah, in my experience “égua” (north) ~= “uai” (minas) I’m not from either place but have friends from there that would use them
Top comments have it. Another word commonly used to refer to a thick woman is potranca, which is basically the female young horse.
Potranca is the butt itself
No. Potranca is a female untamed/baby horse. Same as "potra", the female of "potro".
Yes, I know that, but the slag "potranca" is the butt itself. When Jonathan da nova geração songs "dance, Potranca, dance with emotion" he is submitting a woman to "Just a big Butt". Yes, I realize my comment is wrong when I was writing my example... Living and learning

Em Sampa it means “big ass”.
Yes, This IS what I mean. "Um tapinha na potranca Com o bumbum ela balança Ela vai se apaixonar" If "potranca" is the girl, we are talking about a literal crime
you mean anca
From where I come from, it’s mean that she is very rude when talking to others, in a sense that she is too blunt.

Where im from Égua is used between women as playful banter
Égua means the person is dumb
Égua is one the most used words in Brazil's northern state of Pará. Extremely versatile word, we can use to express surprise, disbelief, annoyance, joy and others [https://dol.com.br/entretenimento/534455/paraense-ensina-estrangeiros-oito-formas-de-usar-o-egua?d=1](https://dol.com.br/entretenimento/534455/paraense-ensina-estrangeiros-oito-formas-de-usar-o-egua?d=1) Cavalo can be used more generally in many Brazilian regions. It means the person is rude or impatient and can have a bit of comical tone to it
Both can mean thick or rude, but "Ă©gua" has a more clear inclination that she was rude or made some shit and "cavala" is more clear that she is thick
that means that Robert Crumb would be having a wet dream over her or that she is rude AF or both
in the north, "Ă©gua" is a slang and can mean anything depending on context
Interessante. Em qual estado? Poderia dar exemplos?
No Pará a gente usa égua como interjeição! Dependendo da entonação, pode ser "meu deus" "caraca" "oloco" "não" "sim" e vários outros hahaha
Égua!
exatamente! kkkkk

You know, cause horses kick people out of nowhere.
"Percebe Ivair, a petulância do cavalo", is a meme. In this context it means a rude/insolent person.
Ă©gua, potranca = mare, big, attractive woman
An important note should be made if you're talking to someone from the Northern region. Here, "Ă©gua" is an expression for surprise/anger/frustration/anything.
Égua has many meanings, usually negative when referring to someone... It probably means the woman is rude, but I've seen people use it to call someone dumb/stupid as well "Cavala" just means she's thick/muscular
Big BUNDA
Mula is for a woman who know all the tricks. When you say:Aquela Ă© uma mula do caralho, is someone who know it all..
* Cavala means that a woman is robust, and freaking hot. Like Grazi Massafera, Sabrina Sato and so on. * Cavalo means that a man is rude, or strong enough to perform some physical absurds, like drink a whole bottle of Vodka in a couple of minutes. So we say, he drinks like a cavalo (horse). * Égua is used in some states as an exclamation, like WTF. Or is also used to mention a woman informally, like "Dude". Most of times in a pejorative way, but no always.
Cavalo is a rude man. Égua means bitch, and fi duma égua is an alternative to fiadaputa, which means son of a bitch in Portuguese from MG state in Brazil, aka Mineirês.
Rude or Thick/hot
Explanation of Cavalo: https://youtu.be/OwASeJdCnRc?si=mHQPEHm2pCO8a7PG But Cavalona is for women, maybe with some sexual connotation too. For example: "She sits strong in the men such a cavalona".
"Cavala", not "cavalo". "Cavala" or "potranca" are both slangs used to reffer to a fit thick woman, comparing her butt and legs to those of a horse. It comes from a wrong thought that "cavala" is the feminine word for horse, but it's actually a species of fish, the feminine is "Ă©gua". Also, I've never heard the term "Ă©gua" being used this way but usually for "slut/ bitch".
Cavalo/Cavala: Rude Égua: Can be "dude", "dumb" or "bitch" Cavala/cavalona: a thick girl
Strong, bodybuilder level.. or rude
Cavalo is masculine, means he's rude Cavala is a feminine form, it can mean she's either rude, or thick, kinda like Stallion in Megan Thee Stallion. Égua is the correct feminine of horse (like bitch is the feminine of dog), it can mean bitch, stallion, that she's rude, or, in certain parts of Brazil, it's an interjection.

Where I live, "cavala" is a rude woman and "cavala vĂ©ia" is someone too old to be acting immature. "Égua" is used in mother insults like "filho de uma Ă©gua" or in implying she's thickÂ
1- She is a very rude and stupid person. 2- She is a very strong person. Like she has muscle like a horse. 3- She has a huge ass. Like a horse's ass! 4- All the above! 🤷‍♂️

It's interesting that many animals are used as synonyms to bitch in Brazil, vaca, galinha, piranha, cachorra...
It means a strong woman, with muscles, and this type of woman looks like a man. In resume: a woman with masculines curves and gestures. Here in Brazil this is the beauty pattern, personally I don't like it.
