Johny,

I'm Brazilian, not Portuguese, so I frequently have some of the same surprises as American and British people have when they compare their languages.

In Brazilian Portuguese, gula means gluttony, not greed.

Is it different in Portugal? Or was it a translation lapse (perhaps a mix of two favorite sins )?
