My city has basically twice as many people as there, a bit less. I think it's around the 5th to 7th biggest city in our state, it's a pretty well known city and the head of our region, but where I live here is pretty calm, here in Sao Paulo, outside of the capital and its glued cities, we call the other cities as "cidades do interior", they are usually poor and very slow paced cities, those were the cities I used to go at work, and my birth city as well, I actually like all that peace, but a handful as mine are actually big and decently rich (for our standards) even as they don't look or feel like first world big cities at all. One of my city's strongest nicknames is Brazilian California, actually xP It's called Ribeirao Preto (black river, actually Rio is river but I don't think you guys have a english word for Ribeirao, is almost a river but still not as big as one) |
OK, so your city is still pretty big! Yeah, I'm pretty sure that we don't have an English equivalent, but I think that it's like how in Portugues you have névoa while we have to separate words for it: mist and fog. At least it's like that in French.
