Cultural Note
A very common European Portuguese adjective meaning 'cute,' 'pretty,' or 'attractive,' used for people, objects, and places alike. In Brazilian Portuguese, 'giro' only means 'turn/spin' and is never used to mean 'cute.' This is one of the most notable vocabulary differences between PT-PT and PT-BR.
