Cinema, Film, TV, Drama / The way of all flesh (1940)
English term or phrase: humor him
Pessoal, a Ana (esposa do Paul) diz ao Paul: You do humor him on that account, Paul.

E a seguir ela diz: If he grows up completely spoiled, it will be your fault.

Vocês podem me dizer como traduziriam a 1ª frase?

Obrigado!

Portuguese translation:o mima, o paparica
Explanation:
"Humor", em contexto, é sinônimo de "indulge". A tradução não é perfeita, mas opções mais literais como "ceder" ou "saciar" não se encaixam tão bem. Ofereço duas opções pois a linha seguinte traz "spoiled", e a repetição mima - mimado seria deselegante.
