Dansa Empat Kali

Espero que isto faça sentido; estou a usar o Google Translate porque, infelizmente, não sei português. Gostaria de saber se alguém me pode falar sobre a Dansa Empat Kali para uma avaliação escolar. Pelo que sei, é uma dança tradicional de Timor-Leste. Os meus avós são de Timor-Leste, por isso já vi esta dança a ser apresentada muitas vezes, mas não sei nada sobre as suas origens. É portuguesa? É tradicional de Timor-Leste? Será indonésia? Creio que as palavras “Dansa Empat Kali” são indonésias para “Dança Quatro Vezes”. Se alguém puder dar alguma informação sobre a dança e as suas origens, seria ótimo. Muito obrigado!

Ha'u espera ida-ne'e iha sentidu; Ha'u uza Google Translate tanba ha'u lahatene Tetum, infelizmente. Ha'u hanoin hela se ema ruma bele hateten mai ha'u kona-ba Dansa Empat Kali, ba avaliasaun eskola nian. Husi buat ne’ebé ha’u hatene, ne’e dansa tradisionál Timor Lorosa’e nian. Ha'u nia avó sira husi Timor Lorosa'e tanba ne'e ha'u haree dansa ida-ne'e hala'o dala barak ona, maibé ha'u lahatene buat ida kona-ba ida-ne'e nia orijen. Portugés ka lae? Tradisional ba Timor-Leste ka lae? Ne’e lian Indonézia ka lae? Ha'u fiar katak liafuan "Dansa Empat Kali" ne'e lian Indonézia katak "Tari Dala Haat". Se ema ruma bele fornese informasaun ruma kona-ba dansa no nia orijen, ida-ne'e sei furak tebes. Obrigado barak!

I was wondering if anyone can tell me about Dansa Empat Kali for a school assessment. From what I know, it is a traditional East Timorese dance. My grandparents are from East Timor so I have seen this dance being performed many times, but I don't know anything about the origins of it. Is it Portugese? Is it traditional to Timor-Leste? Is it Indonesian? I believe the words "Dansa Empat Kali" are Indonesian for "Dance Four Times". If anyone could please provide any information about the dance and it's origins, that would be amazing. Thank you so much!

Saya harap ini masuk akal; Saya menggunakan Google Translate karena sayangnya saya tidak bisa berbahasa Tetum. Saya ingin tahu apakah ada yang bisa memberi tahu saya tentang Dansa Empat Kali, untuk penilaian sekolah. Dari apa yang saya ketahui, ini adalah tarian tradisional Timor Timur. Kakek-nenek saya berasal dari Timor Timur jadi saya telah melihat tarian ini ditampilkan berkali-kali, tetapi saya tidak tahu apa pun tentang asal-usulnya. Apakah ini tarian Portugis? Apakah ini tarian tradisional Timor-Leste? Apakah ini tarian Indonesia? Saya yakin kata-kata "Dansa Empat Kali" dalam bahasa Indonesia berarti "Menari Empat Kali". Jika ada yang bisa memberikan informasi tentang tarian ini dan asal-usulnya, itu akan sangat membantu. Terima kasih banyak!

Language in Dili?

Greetings, I am considering taking a job in Dili and I wanted to know if English is widely spoken in the capital. Also, I speak Spanish fluently, so would it be useful to brush up on Portuguese to improve my ability to communicate or would I benefit more from studying Indonesian.

Recommendations for Timor-Leste

Hey, I'm going to be in Timor-Leste from 27 Jul until 04 Aug. I booked only the plane tickets so far and nothing else.

I'm currently looking on activities to do and places to stay. So far only thing i know for sure is that I'm going to spend 2-3 nights in Atauro mainly for diving.

Any recommendations with the below are very appreciated.

  1. How long to spend in Dili and where to stay? (26yo solo male traveler)

  2. Other than Dili and Atauro, where else should I look for to stay? Ideally in more rural areas, maybe in a homestay to experience the culture

  3. Do you think getting a local guide is a good idea for some parts? If yes, where should i search for one?

Anything else is also appreciated.

Ps. This sub has some good info and is very recent

Advice on booking a flight ticket to Dili

My American passport is simply a string of numbers. Citilink's online reservation system won't book a ticket unless your passport number contains a letter. What online service are you using to book tickets that accept American passport numbers. (Newer American passports do have a letter but my 7 year old one does not)

Wanting To try Some Fanta From Timor

Firstly, do they even sell Fanta there? I can't seem to find any evidence that Timor has it's own local Fanta flavours and such. Still, I'd want to try some Fantas from there if possible as it would be a pretty addition.

Traveling to Timor, medication questions

Does anybody know if it is legal to bring in ADHD medication (e.g. Ritalin, as well as non-stimulant meds) if prescribed by a doctor, and accompanied by a doctor's note? Or is it illegal for foreigners?

Agradecimentos do Brasil

Timor-leste nos enviou 4 milhoes de dolares, para ajudar com as tragedias das enchentes causadas no estado do Rio Grande do Sul.

Muito obrigada, irmãos timorenses! Seus corações são enormes, para caber tamanha generosidade. O Brasil não esquecerá deste lindo gesto

Um grande abraço, e que possamos retribuir assim que possível
