Portuguese term or phrase: coiso
Bom dia,

Eu estou traduzindo subtítulos (sem video) e tem uma palavra que n#ao consigo entender:

Paulo: "Como estava escrito lá na carta para não bolir no coiso, né? Para não bolir nos coisos. Também no coiso está lá no sítio. Está tudo. As cartas estão todas em casa. Logo que recebi a carta fui ao computador traduzir, passei tudo a português e diz que tinha lá para coiso e eu pousei logo tudo lá em casa. Está tudo lá em casa lá direitinho. Graças a Deus, não preciso. Você já me conhece, que eu não preciso, não preciso, né?"

Esse coiso, o que sera ? Bolir nos coisos ? Igual uma coisa ?
Obrigada,
VeroniquePhelut
