Manter e Guardar

Manter and guardar are synonymous but in some situations we see a very soft difference. Exemples: Eu guardo as minhas roupas no closet (or guarda-roupa : more popular), meaning: (I keep my clothes in the closet). I can't say, Eu mantenho minhas roupas no guarda-roupa. Because in this case manter is to leave the clothes there for a time and guardar is more for 'organize' (I put my clothes in the closed in an organized way- guardar)

Eu mantenho boas notas: I keep good grades. I can't say: Eu guardo boas notas. Because in this situation guardar sounds as to organize

Eu guardo/mantenho lembranças comigo.

I keep memories with me.

Manter- to mantain.

Mandioca

@Stéfanilolli  Mandioca: Manioc is a woody shrub native to South America.  In Brazil it is a typical food, which was introduced by the indians.  The manioc of this post picture is from a small farm localized in Minas Gerais state, Brazil, in the city of Mirabela. Small farms have this culture: planting maniocs around their houses. We can cook manioc with meat, rib, (costela com mandioca), manioc and hen (frango caipira com mandioca), and we have manioc flour (farinha de mandioca). In Rio it is said aimpim, in Minas: mandioca and in the North and Northeast: macaxeira.
