hook up

verbBrazil · informal

To have a casual romantic encounter, without necessarily starting a committed relationship.

to hook up
  • ficarBrazil · informal

    The expression does not specify whether sex occurred. English “hook up” can suggest more than the Portuguese phrase does.

    She made out with a friend at the party.

    Ela ficou com um amigo na festa.

THE LITTLE DISTINCTION

Usage

Here this describes a casual romantic encounter. Ficar does not itself say that sex occurred; other English uses of hook up need different translations.
