Amo-te


Explanation:
In Brazilian Portuguese one would say "Eu te amo", but in European Portuguese the right way to say it is "Amo-te".

Now, you just have to choose between the two of them!

Take a look at the sites below (the first one is uropean Portuguese and the second one is Brazilian Portuguese)!

Good luck!

Explanation:
Dear Proz colleagues,

Have you checked the proz forum message boards recently? There's a posting here...

http://www.proz.com/?sp=bb/viewtopic&topic=413&forum=23&19

...that you might find interesting in the light of the discussion raised by Jorge Freire in response to this question.

If you don't have time, I'll tell you briefly. It's a suggestion for a Kudoz code of conduct, which basically says things like 'Don't be rude to fellow translators' and so on.

As for easy questions, the contributor makes the point that they are not exactly the worst crime in the world. You can simply ignore them. And points may be useful but they're not the only thing that matters.

Any comments??
