Discussion
What I am curious about is why "ao tempo" doesn't feature with this meaning in the above-mentioned dics.:-) Is it particularly BR. PT?
1.out of doors; in the open air: He's happiest when he's outdoors.
2.(used with a sing. v.) the world outside of or away from houses; open air: the whole family likes the outdoors.
�adj.
3. outdoor.
