Brazilian Portuguese "chato" Can someone explain this a bit more?

I know it means boring, but it seem that they use it a little different. Thanks

Yes, it means boring. But, sometimes and in somewhere (in Rio, for example), chato is used for a guy really very good in a field. Too much good that he gives no chance to the others, so, any competition lost the fun.
For example, brazilian yachting world champion, Robert Scheidt. He is eight times world champion, two times olimpic champion. About him, some guys may to tell: "Este cara é muito chato", some like "this guy is so good that there's no fun to cheer for others".

If you see Jimmy Page playing a guitar solo, you may tell "this guy is very 'chato'! He never play a wrong note!".


JG123
Well it can mean more than boring depending on how it is used. If you or something bother someone, you can be called "chato" also for doing that.

Well, I'm brazilian and we use "chato" when we want to tell that someone, something or a situation is boring, or when a person is talking or only talks boring things etc. For instance:

Mike é chato
(Mike is boring)

Essas aulas de francês são chatas
(These french's classes are boring)

Trabalhar aqui é muito chato
(Work here is very boring)

Ps: I don't speak english very well, so I don't know if everything I wrote is correct.

It has nothing to do with boring. It is more like anal retentive, poor sport, no fun. When your parents are away on vacation and your friends want to have a party in your house and definetely it will not be a problem but you still say no, you are "muito chato"


keen
"chato" means boring or annoying

you pronounce it "shahto"

Eu odeio meu irmão! Ele é tão chato!
-I hate my brother! He is so annoying!-

and the other form is

Este lugar é tão chato, nada interessante acontece.
-This place is so boring, nothing interesting happens-

Get it?


Miss Fashion
Chato means something boring, bored, not fun, not friendly.
