I am Brazilian. They are Canadian.

This evening we went out for dinner with a Brazilian family who has been living in Canada for the last half a dozen years or so.

Proof that I am more Brazilian than they: I complained about the rain and put on my jacket when the breeze picked up.

Proof that they are more Canadian than I: They wanted to meet for dinner at 7pm.

I tell ya! It's the honest truth.

What's a normal time for dinner in Brazil. It took me forever to adjust to eating dinner at 10:00 p.m. when I lived in Spain. Then we would all go out for cognacs. It always made getting up early a challenge.

Normal times for starting supper in Brazil are 8pm (earlish) to 10pm (lateish). However, since the main meal of the day is eaten at lunch, Brazilians will often just eat a little snack for dinner rather than a full meal. If they do go full meal, it tends to be on the late side.
