What is the exact translation of the title?
Can someone help? Thanks. I love this movie, and I loved Alan Arkin in it.

It literally means "What is this, mate?".

It would mean something like, "What's the matter, buddy?"
This world is a comedy to those that think, a tragedy to those that feel.
Thank you for your replies. But i do not understand how that relates to the movie. Can you tell me what that means as the title of the movie?
share"companheiro" (buddy/mate) is a political term (used by leftists). there is a scene, after paulo kissed maria, when she says "what is it, buddy?" because she wasn't expecting, she used as a normal "buddy" thing not as a political term. so it's a play on words
shareI see. So, compnaheiro is like "comrade". I see the connection. Thank you very much.
