5 Most Popular TV Commercials among Brazilian 

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A commercial from Kit Kat called #meubreak (My Break) is the most popular commercial among Brazilian Internet users. This ranking came from IBOPE, which developed a new tool called AdScore in partnership with a firm called Contplay.

The tool helps agencies and advertisers get a sense of how their commercials-and those of their competitors-are received. Considering that Brazilians are now using multiple screens to consume content and watch large amounts of online videos, having a tool like AdScore can help measure impact of TV ads beyond just one screen.

More than 25,000 Brazilian Internet users participated in the ranking, which included TV commercials airing on free TV, pay TV and online, all between May and June 2014.

Here are the top 5, as ranked by the internautas of Brazil:

#1 Kit-Kat, #meubreak

#2 Burger King, Whopper Bacon Jr.

#3 OLX, Viking e Zumbi

#4 Coca-Cola, Manifesto

#5 Gol Linhas Aéreas,#Sófatouvoar

Contact us to find how we can help you reach Brazilians via social TV solutions like Shazam, though programmatic buying or other means.

divide et impera: Divide and reign. It was a theory proposed by Niccolò Machiavelli and used previously by the Roman Senate to dominate the Mediterranean.

alea jacta est: the die is cast: This famous phrase was said by Julius Caesar upon crossing the Rubicon. Caesar was violating a law of the Roman Empire, hence why he was playing with luck.

veni vidi vici: I came, I saw, I conquered. Another phrase said by Julius Caesar, this time upon the victory over Pharnaces, king of Pontus.

cogito ergo sum: I think, therefore I am. This phrase was originally said in French by René Descartes, and it represents a corner-stone of the Western philosophy. The Latin translation is more widely used, though.

carpe diem: seize the day. This phrase comes from a poem by Horace. The phrase was made famous when it was used on the movie Dead Poets Society.

deus ex machina: God out of a machine. In ancient Greece when a plot was complicated or tangled, the play writers would just insert a God in the final act in order to solve all the problems. Usually a crane machine was used to drop the actor on stage, hence the name.

homo homini lupus: man is a wolf to men. This phrase was originally said by Plauto, but other philosophers also used it, including Bacon and Hobbes. The meaning is quite straight forward.

In catalan the five vowels (a, e, i, o, u,) are used to represent eight different vocalic sounds, a, open e, close e, neutral vocal, i, open o, close o, u.

Vowel a

Vowel a, when it's not the neutral vowel, sounds a little closer than a in father, this happens in stressed syllables.

Example: m à (hand)

Vowel e

Vowel e in catalan, when it's in a stressed sillable, can be open or closed.
Open e has the same sound of the e in the english word bet, close e has the same sound, just a little bit closer. If open e has an accent it will be a grave accent (è), if it is a close e it will be an acute accent (é).

Examples of open e: caf è (coffee), d eu (ten), p era (pear), m e l (honey)

Examples of closed e: b é (well), d éu (god), P e re (Peter)

The neutral vowel

The neutral vowel has a sound half way through the sound of the vowel e and the sound of the vowel a; you have to pronounce this vowel every time that vowels a and e are in an unstressed position.

Examples: pal et (stick), m elós (honeyed, sweet), cos a (thing), febr e (fever)

We will see more about the neutral vowel sound and use in the next lesson.

Vowel i

Vowel i has the same sound of the ee in the word feed.

Example: cam í (way, path)

Vowel o

Like vowel e, also the o can be open or closed. Open o sounds like the o in the english word "lot", the close of sounds like the o in the english word "vote".

Examples of open o: s on (sleep), d ols (you hurt), c o ll (neck)

Examples of close o: s ón (they are), d olç (sweet), canç ó (song)

When the o is in an unstressed position sounds like the vowel u.

Examples: p osar (put, set), p omera (apple tree), c o lom (dove, pidgeon)

Vowel u

U is pronounced roughly like English oo in food in both stressed and unstressed positions.

Examples: u ngla (nail)

It is soundless in the combinations gue, gui, que, qui, unless there is a diaeresis on it ü.
