"Pé" in Portuguese - foot and leg

[00:00:00]You probably know the word pe in Portuguese and I would assume you would tell me that it means foot in English.

[00:00:12][snorts] That is partially correct. How about if I tell you that in some occasions we use it with a meaning of leg in English? Let me show you. The leg of a chair in Portuguese is the leg of a side table is called the mizup.

[00:00:42]So when you're referring to objects that have legs, remember that in Portuguese we use the word be. Did you know that?
