  1. (Angola, Mozambique, intransitive) to eat breakfast
    • 2016 June 20, Manuel José, quoting João Silva, “Moradores desalojados da ilha de Luanda continuam em tendas [Townspeople dislodged from the Island of Luanda are still inside tents]”, in VOA Português‎[1], Angola, archived from the original on 21 June 2016:
      “Não bebemos por vício, mas sim por frustração, para esquecer o sofrimento, se ontem consegui comer, hoje não sei o que comer, estou desde a manhã ainda não matabichei, estou a pensar a minha vida o que vou fazer?”, lamenta.
      “We don't drink because of addiction, but of frustration, to forget the suffering. If I couldn't eat yesterday, today I don't know what do eat, I'm [here] since morning and haven't eaten breakfast. I’m thinking about my life, what am I going to do?”, he mourns.
