Como falar " O que deu em você?" em inglês?

Hello everyone,


Prontos para aprender mais uma expressão e um phrasal verb?


Nesses dias bastante frios, pelo menos aqui no sul e sudeste do país, tem muita gente caindo de cama com gripe. Opa, como falo "cair de cama" ficar doente, em inglês, usando um phrasal verb?


Vamos ver a seguir!


"I feel like I'm coming down with a case of narcissism. Seriously, I just don't know what's come over me me me." [Eu sinto que estou ficando doente de narcisismo. Verdade, eu não sei o que deu em mim mim mim.]


Notaram? Come down with significa cair de cama, ficar doente, passar mal. Ex.: Many people are coming down with the flu. [Muitas pessoas estão adoecendo de gripe.]


Já "What's come over you?" é o nosso - O que deu em você?  Ex.: Why are you doing this? What has come over you?  [Por que você está fazendo isto? O que deu em você?]

Okay guys, have fun and


See you next time!

  1. A couple of months ago a number of my students had supposedly come down with dengue. I thought they were just making excuses to skip English class... and then, ironically, I also came down with dengue a week or two later! If I had previously said to any of those students "I'm on to you... I know you're just using that as an excuse!", they would have asked me, "What's come over you?!" (With me being so suspicious and distrusting) - especially since dengue is extremely common in the Northeast during the rainy season.

  2. The way you said it's like you're telling the truth. Am I right?

    Frank, you've no idea how you have helped me with your comments here. I believe that other people are enjoying as well. I hope your comments will encourage them to write too.

    Thanks a million!

  3. Hi Iramaia,
    yes, that is really what happened! I was being judgmental and thought 3 of my students were just faking it. Sometimes we're not sympathetic until we experience the same thing!
