Gift Horse Teeth Tee: Cavalo Dado Não Se Olha Os Dentes | Brazilian Proverb T-Shirt
$19.97
The Etiquette of the Gift Horse Tee
This t-shirt features a piece of classic, cross-cultural wisdom, expressed with a distinctly Brazilian flair: "Cavalo dado não se olha os dentes" (For a horse given as a gift, we don't check their teeth).
The meaning is a lesson in gratitude and good manners: "Don't criticize what someone gives you, even if you don't like it." It's the perfect reminder to appreciate the thought and generosity behind a gift, rather than focusing on its flaws or value.
For Brazilians living abroad, this shirt is a familiar proverb that evokes the warmth and traditional values of home. It's a subtle, stylish way to carry a piece of Brazilian etiquette with you. For foreigners and enthusiasts of Brazilian culture, it's a fun way to learn a common Portuguese saying and share a universal truth about gift-giving.
Wear this shirt as a gentle, humorous reminder to yourself and others to always be gracious recipients.
