Today is June 12th, when we celebrate ‘Lover's Day" in Brazil. Unlike most countries, Brazil doesn’t celebrate Valentine’s Day on 4th February. Instead, ‘Dia dos Namorados’, as it is called, is held on 12th June in honor of Saint Anthony’s of Padua, who is recognized as the marriage saint. In fact, this celebration takes place on the eve of Saint Anthony’s Day because he is known for helping out single people to find their soul mates.
As the day is seen as a get together date for beloved people. Couples celebrate it by exchanging gifts and cards, giving flowers, arranging meals in restaurants or romantic nights in hotels. If you are still a single lady and you haven’t met the perfect match yet, you might make a promise to Saint Anthony or perform rituals known as 'Simpatias' to find a good boyfriend or husband for yourself.
To celebrate Saint Anthony's Day, how about learning some English love expressions that you could say to the person you love?
- I fancy you.
- I’ve got a crush on you.
- You’re my soul mate.
- I’m hooked on you.
- I’m infatuated with you.
- I’ve totally fallen for you.
- I’m desperately in love with you.
- I’m mad about you.
- I’m crazy about you.
- I’m truly in love with you.
- You are the one.
- I’m head over heels (in love) with you
These are just a few sentences. There are plenty more. Do you know any others? Please, add one?
