    Smile would someone please help me? (portuguese to english)

    This is my first post...so I hope I am doing this properly.
    Can someone please tell me what "prossimo toune" means? I am thinking that it has been misspelled. The online translators can't identify. Thanks!

    "tounê" in Portuguese means a rock-band tour, but "prossimo" sounds Italian to me as "next" would be "seguinte".

    Hello,

    "prossimo toune" is not Portuguese, it's Italian, it means "next return", depending on the context it could be for example someone saying it's coming back soon from somewhere....

    Hope this helps you.

    Mary

    Helo,

    Tounê means nothing in Portuguese, you probably are confusing it with "tournée", this is what you described "a rock-band tour", well... not specify for rock... could be an any type of music tour.

    Hope this helps.

    Mary

    It's surely derived from the French term tournée, but it's used in Portuguese as such (e.g. Flavio Venturini).

    Hello,

    first of all the site you refereed is from a Brazilian person... So, not the genuine Portuguese, and even in Brazil I don't really believe they use it so probably just a mistake by the author of the website.

    I'm telling you as a Portuguese that Tounê means nothing in Portuguese.

    Mary, thank you so much! gentle and yourself have been very helpful. The man that has been sending these messages to me is Portuguese...but I can never accurately translate his messages because he appears to use Spanish...and Italian!..also. (Not to mention his spelling is not accurate.) I'm having a tough time understanding him. I will be asking for help again soon...I'm sure.
