Verdade.

[MarcoPerez1]

It's crazy difficult to understand this one for sure.

[Lexflex]

Also works with some religious leaders :)

Don't worry about what the sentence means, just take from it the two verbs it's teaching you, mentir and encher.

[Tauno1]

A bolsa =bag
O bolso =pocket

[JasonPTY507]

what?!

[Paulenrique]

That is supposed to be referring to politicians (just a guess). They lie to people/citizens while, at the same time, they fill their pockets with money due to high taxes!!

[timoto]

Yes this one is very common to the lips of brasileiros complaining about their politicians.

[4sily]

I would say it is very common for each nation on this planet ;-)

[brunodc2011]

I can see myself entering a bar anywhere in the world just saying that and there'd be someone to empathize :D

[Portofan]

Yes, I found this is one of the few meaningful sentences here.

[lewisDuo]

What is the difference between 'your' and 'their'? How do you distinguish the two?

[Paulenrique]

If you use "seu, seus, sua, suas" it becomes ambiguous.

But if you use deles(masc) and delas(fem) to mean "their" it is not ambiguois anymore

[lia929954]

can we translate this as: they lie and fill their bags?
