How to say "You are Grounded" in Portuguese
Tue, 04/27/2010 - 08:38
A YouTube subscriber asked this question:
- How do you say "grounded" as in "You're grounded for a week, for playing an inappropriate video game"?
Grounded = de castigo
Castigo = punishment
The expression "de castigo" is invariable:
- Você está de castigo.
- Vocês estão de castigo.
- Eles estavam de castigo.
