Ficar de boa


Definition from Dicionário Informal:
Ficar tranquilo, não se preocupar com nada, relaxar.

Example sentence(s):
  • 10 passos para acabar com o stress e ficar de boas https://www.passeidireto.com › Home › 7 Pecados Universitários 23 de ago. de 2016 - Ficar de boa já se transformou até mesmo em filosofia de vida: o Deboísmo, afinal para quê mais problemas na sua vida? Então vamos ... - Passeidireto  

Explanation:
Tentei achar uma expressão informal que também resgatasse o sentido de "relaxar e acalmar-se". Acalmar-se no sentido de deixar de ficar nervoso, com raiva ou com ansiedade "If you chillax , you relax and stop being angry or anxious".

Ao traduzir, muitas vezes será preciso usar mais de um verbo ou um verbo só dependendo do contexto, como "relaxa, cara, fica calmo", ou "hoje eu vou ficar de boa com a minha namorada". Tudo dependerá do contexto.

Relaxar, acalmar-se, ficar de boa, ficar tranquilo. Tudo dependerá do contexto ou até mesmo criar um neologismo parecido "relaxacalme-se", se cabível.
