Here's some more vocab from my notebook (I actually do keep a 'Portuguese notebook' in case you haven't caught on yet.) ;)
However,
I don't have the time to look all of these words up at the moment. Any
help is appreciated, and I'll look up the 'restando' words when I get a
chance. (The left-over words - note the lack of ability to stay
monolingual these days...)
From page 11:
“sessão das _ horas” = the _ o’clock show
“um rito austero” =
Apressado =
Calçada = sidewalk
Canteiro =
Cochichar =
Desfile =
Desmantelar =
Domingueira =
Dominical =
Drenagem =
Endomingados =
Enigmático =

Garagista =
Gesto =
Malícia =
Melancólico =

When you get the rest of the definitions please post :)
And try Webster’s online dictionary, http://www.websters-online-dictionary.org/
It’s pretty good although not always 100% accurate
