Quem costuma assistir filmes e seriados em inglês com frequência certamente já viu aquele gestozinho de celebração, em que duas pessoas batem a palma da mão contra a da outra com os braços levantados. É o famoso high five, cuja origem muitos atribuem a certos jogadores americanos de baseball.
Torça por mim
I alway use the high five in bike race, or swimming competition and My friends keep your fingers crossed for me about it
Do you guys high five each other at the end, after you’ve completed the race?
I’m sure your friends keep their fingers crossed for you!
Hi, everyone!
Thanks for all the examples :)
Dêem mais uma lida na dica pra notar como o ‘fingers crossed’ ou ‘I’ll keep my fingers crossed’ é usado.
Vejam qual é a estrutura do que a gente fala, em geral:
[Aqui estou falando da situação desafiadora pela qual vou passar]. Fingers crossed! ou
[Aqui estou falando do que eu desejo que aconteça]. Fingers crossed!
No lugar do “Fingers crossed!” acima, podemos dizer “Keep your fingers crossed!” pra pedir a torcida do ouvinte.
Essa é apenas uma forma de expressar ou pedir torcida. Há outras, e quem sabe não apareçam em dicas mais pra frente?
I am studying English for using it in the World Cup / 2014 and in the Olimpic
World Games / 2016.
I’m sure I’ll go well. Fingers crossed!
These tips have helped me a lot. But fingers crossed!
Dear Ana Luiza:
Those are really cool hints !
May I add “cheering for” and “rooting”? Do they have the same sense and meaning as “fingers crossed” ?
Thanks for your helpful podcast.
Best regards,
José

In my case I intend to take the First Certificate in English (FCE). I don’t know exactly when, maybe in the final of the year. I must say, it’s really my dream. What do I definitely need to pass in this complex test? As many people say.
Ana, Can you give me some advice? Or just keep your finger crossed, please.
By the way, congratulations for the site! It’s very interesting and helpful as well. I usually follow your lessons.
I wish you a happy new year.
Bye for now and see you next time.
Nice! I hear it a lot in American Series or with my friends.
For example, my guild (Community of players) is waiting for an upcoming new epic game that must be released later in the year, one of them wrote on the forum: Man, I can’t wait to play this game, I hope that Guild Wars 2 (name of the game) will be released this year, I’ll keep my fingers crossed for this.
So will I :-)
Alright, fingers crossed. Well, given we’re still in January, I figure there’s a pretty good chance the game will be released in 2012!
That’s right Ana! We are looking forward to playing this game :-)
