Peer comments on this reference comment (and responses from the reference poster)
agree  Oliver Simões: I totally agree. "Assédio" and "importunação" are not the same. "Assédio" translates as "harrassment" into PT-Br. "Importuning" and "importunação" are cognates and the translation of one another.
