Portuguese term

abrimos mão de pagamentos feitos

Portuguese to English Social Sciences Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc. Brasil
Esta SPS queima em seus próprio sitio, e não consegue fazer, sem fala não se deve escutar, meu pai me disse um dia, cuidado, hoje abrimos mão de pagamentos feitos que não eram nossos, que chegam a valores insignificantes, USD 60.000, esquecemos investimentos não cobrados de USD 120.0000 , não quantificamos nosso trabaljo, nosso nome nem pensar (já demostrado), que não tem milhões que representem (a nossa história escreve), por mentiras de SPS, e desvalorização de ninguém (sem historia), desculpe Joaquin, infelizmente se fizemos, se você teve trabalho, se SPS e sua tecnologia foi grande aqui, não se realizou, seu mercado não mereceu, o nosso continua.
