encouraging

- encorajador

EN One humiliation had succeeded another: the false smiles of the market sellers, the curvetings and oglings of the barmaids with whom his father flirted, the compliments and encouraging words of his father's friends.
PT Era toda uma longa cadeia de humilhações: os falsos sorrisos dos vendedores; as mesuras e as olhadelas de soslaio das criadas com as quais seu pai se excedia; os cumprimentos e as palavras encorajadoras dos amigos de seu pai.
