Anybody knows what "sem makas" means?
It mean: without problems:-) slang.
Maka in KInbundo language means "problem". So, "sem makas" menans "NO PROBLEMS2, man
nane of worker
Hmm, struggling to translate this. In Angola they speak portugese. Sem means without, and I can't find makas in any dictionaries, apart from maca which can mean litter (among other things) so, perhaps it roughly translates to...
Without mess
Maybe?
Means: shut up!
angola...angola... I know ! What about a black forklift ?

Hi, i'm Angolan, "Sem makas" means "No problems". Or..."Sem" - Without; "Maka - Angolan traditional expression" that means "Problem"
See you
i guess u have to ask Antonio Pascoa or Claudio Rafael,
"Sem Makas" means "Piece Of Cake". It's a natural saying in Angola.
I like the idea.
In terms of art direction, how about playing with the background tones so that the colours don't clash?
The light washes out the photograph and the boxes are a little hard to see....
"Sem Makas" means "Piece of Cake". It's a Popular saying in Angola.

OK, now it makes sense :) Thanks!
Yes it's a popular saying, but "Piece of Cake" isn’t the accurate translation I’m afraid.
“ sem makas” in Angolan slang means “without problems “
Sem: without
Makas: problems.
Hello, i'm angolan... "Sem Makas" means "Without Problems, no matter" that is the correct translation
