Have you ever heard the expression “por auto-recreação”?

Yes? Me too! So many times I’ve lost count! However, do you know that’s actually wrong?


The correct expression is “por alta recreação”!


According to the Infopedia Dictionary, this expression means ‘’de livre vontade; espontaneamente” (of one’s own free will; voluntarily; spontaneously).


Did you know this? If you did, awesome! If you didn’t, great! Now you’re armed with a little more knowledge than you were 1 minute ago, and that can only be a good thing.
