      The differences and the overall tension between both dialects reminds me A LOT of the difference between the French varieties spoken in Quebec and France. French people say that people from Quebec speak "wrong French" or are "incomprehensible", but most of the time, Frenchies don't even try to understand, or only say those things to feel superior. It kinda sucks, especially since languages exist to unite people, and not divide them. Oh also, I wonder if, like for French in Quebec, Brazilian Portuguese is actually a "lack" of evolution, which would make it closer to "real" Portuguese (it was a colony for a long time, after all, so it would make sense).
      Great video, as always, I learned a lot! :)

    • @MrKegg
      @MrKegg 3 роки тому +4

      @DelRubenSito There are many differences, but I don't think it's enough to make a whole video out of it. But he could do a video about "obscure" varieties of Spanish, like hispanic minorities in a non-hispanic country, if they have a particular accent/vocabulary.

    • @wilssantos2
      @wilssantos2 3 роки тому +17

      @@MrKegg Yes, there are many evidences pointing towards the same history as Quebequois French. There are many poems by Luís de Camões, written in the 16th century, that only rhyme if read in Brazilian Portuguese, because of how the vowels are dropped in the European form. I wouldn't say it's a total "lack" of evolution, though, but that's it evolved in a way that is more similar to what it used to be.

      Yea, the hole difference is that portugal and the other colonies got a lot of french influence while Brazil stayed like a close brother to spanish :D
      Edit1: A lot of people have corrected me on this down in the comments and I want to clarify what I found out with more research:
      The french/english influence in PT-PT didn't play as big of a role as I thought, although that influence did take place, the evidence points that the majority of the languages evolution occured natively. So, Portugal's and africa's vowel reduction evolved by themselves, it's not as black and white as just "french influence", sorry if I misguided someone ;)

      Be careful, many Brazilians do not like to be called Latinos, as this is a term that generalizes all cultures in South America, where most speak Spanish. But in Brazil we speak portuguese. What does not fit us in the "Latin" group, although Portuguese is also a language that comes from Latin.

    I'll never forget my first time hearing Brazilian Portuguese. I was in New Orleans at a cafe, and I heard this gorgeous language being spoken by a group of teens. Because I know I little Spanish, I thought it a form of Spanish I had never encountered so I asked in Spanish where they were from. They didn't speak Spanish but they could understand it for the most part, but I had a very very difficult time understanding them unless they typed it for me to read. Anyways I fell in love with Portuguese right then and there!

    I'm german and I'm honestly not quite sure about that, but I think that - if you want to learn Portuguese - the brazilian version is always being taught in Germany (because of the many native speakers of BP more than 220 million people, despite the fact that Portugal is geographically in a closer vicinity to Germany than Brazil).
    European Portuguese sounds even much more harder to understand while being spoken than French. And I've studied French for almost an eternity by now and still would probably face major problems in understanding spoken EP.
    Brazilian Portuguese phonology is much smoother and even its vocabulary seems easier to grasp to me at least.

    I'm Dutch, but I learned Portuguese from my dad, who is an immigrant from Portugal. I do get the impression that Portugese people generally understand Brazilians. I think it has to do with the fact that there is a lot of Brazilian media in Portugal. From a young age, I remember some animes aired on Portuguese tv with a Brazilian dub. Perhaps the studios wanted to save money and just thought that Portuguese people would understand it anyway. My nan also watches a lot of Brazilian telenovelas. I think this early interaction (at least partly) makes Portuguese people so familiar with BP, that they just consider it a wierd Portuguese.

It’s a beautiful language from every country who speaks it. Even though European Portuguese is stress timed- and the words are in a way “mushed together” I think that’s what makes it fun.

    I'm Italian and personally I find in BP more similarities with some Italian grammatical structures, i.e. estou+gerund. Besides paradoxically I understand better BP than EP because the former is syllable-timed as Italian... As a matter of fact I have some difficulties to understand EP because of the speakers' attitude to "eat" some vowels of the words. Finally I don't think it's right to say that Brazilian people speak a sort of mistaken portuguese, since for example in Italy we have a lot of regional accents and noone says that one is right and the others are mistaken.

      @Gwynbleidd interesting. Clearly the Portuguese from Portugal has undergone influence from other languages, such as potentially celtic languages as mentioned by J. Smith above since the language was brought to Brazil. It’s very interesting indeed. I have a great difficulty understanding Portuguese in general, notably because I’ve never studied the language but also because it’s pronunciation differs wildly from other Romance languages. However, I find Brazilian Portuguese easier to discern where one word ends and the next begins, because it sounds more “sing-songy” compared to Portugal Portuguese where syllables tend to collide more with one another.

    • @cosafresco
      @cosafresco 3 роки тому +13

      @J. Smith this is really interesting. Whilst I’m not at all knowledgeable about Celtic languages and their spread it kind of makes sense to me that they may have been Celtic influences on Portuguese given it’s “coastal” (I know not all of it is coastal) location and it’s proximity to the north of Spain where Basque exists and shares certain similarities with Welsh and other Celtic languages.

    brazilian who's been to portugal here. besides pronunciation, there's a "logic" issue. portuguese people are literal and to the point and brazilians are more "metaphorical", so to speak. for example, if you ask someone from portugal if they know where some place is, they will just say they do. brazilians will tell you how to get there. if you ask brazilians if they have a watch, they will tell you the time. i was once at the lisbon airport, looking for the line for the connection to paris, and asked, pointing to the line: "is this paris?", the airport guy replied: "no, this is lisbon".

    As a native Spanish speaker who has studied Brazilian Portuguese for 4 years, I can clearly say that European Portuguese is way more difficult to understand. I have been to Portugal before, and I had to study the accent beforehand to ensure I could understand it. Vowel suppression, the "sh" sound of the "s", and the particular sound form of the combination of "ei" in European Portuguese are probably the biggest challenges for a Brazilian Portuguese student to understand. Nonetheless, I see both accents' value and have taught myself to use both. I will be sticking with Brazilian Portuguese, though. My girlfriend is Brazilian so I have more incentives to use it more often. Lol.

    As a bilingual person (I grew up speaking both English and Spanish), to be honest, Brazilian Portuguese is A LOT easier for me to understand and to attempt. I am currently learning French, which has been difficult at the beginning, but not so much as I continue to learn it. It is the stressed-time syllables that makes it difficult for me to comprehend Continental Portuguese, something very similar to what happens in French. Once I am set with French, I will learn both Italian and Portuguese, and it may end up being the Brazilian variety.

    7:35 "There is milk", translated to PT-BR, really is "Há leite", but we normally don't speak that way.
    If you say "há" something, we will understand, but we will know you're not brazilian. We normally use "tem" instead of "há", verb "ter" instead of "haver". "Ter" is "to have".

      That's a good example of how alike PT-BR/ PT-PT, and Spanish are. First, leite is "leche" in Spanish, if you say "hay leche" that just means, "there is milk," But, tiene is the same as tem (have) "el tiene leche."(he has milk." The words are so similar. I can understand spoken PT-BR because the vocabulary is very close, its the pronunciation of the PT from Europe that I don't get. BTW I'm Mex-Amer.

    • @sudi_cloud
      @sudi_cloud 2 роки тому +38

      Désolée, but I couldn't agree less. I am Brazilian and I do say "há leite". This is a stereotype. It is a misconception to assume that Brazilians never use the impersonal verb "haver" and only use "ter", therefore, it is not correct to generalize that "if you say "há" something, [...] we will know you're not Brazilian," as stated in the comment that initiated this thread.
      I might say, hypothetically, though, that it may be possible that people with a below-average level of common knowledge of Portuguese will NEVER use "haver", instead of "ter", the former being standard Portuguese language. This may be, hypothetically, a reflection of the educational quality in Brazil. It is no secret the problems Brazilians - especially and unfortunately, the poor - face regarding the quality and access to education.
      According to UNESCO, "Quality and equity remain a crucial challenge in Brazil." Thus, some Brazilians MAY not know the standard language norm "haver" - because, unfortunately, they did not have access to such information - that "ter" is not an impersonal verb, therefore should not be used in place of "haver", particularly in writing, but only in colloquial communication.
      But, as a teacher, I would never underestimate my students, and I would teach them to use "haver" - standard language - as well, "ter", because learning both will better prepare them to communicate with people from all walks of life.
      I want to make clear, though, that the use of "haver", or any other standard language norm, does not imply, neither, a socially ideal idiom nor a culturally superior form of speech. Teaching standard language in schools is not intended to condemn or eliminate the colloquial language spoken with our family or community.

      @Mariana Please, let me correct you. What you call a dialect is, in fact, a regional variety of european portuguese. In our national portuguese territory there are no dialects other than the mirandese dialect (mirandês), spoken in a small area in north-eastern Portugal. In the remaining parts of Portugal there is only european portuguese, of course with some regional varieties, but still european portuguese. As for the mirandese dialect, it comes from the ancient leonese-asturian language, a distinct origin from the european portuguese, which is, as you know, the galician-portuguese.

    Except for very few regions, I have no difficulty understanding Brazilian Portuguese. Paradoxically, I have more difficulty understanding European Portuguese in some areas, such as the Azores, than Brazilian Portuguese.
    On the other hand, people have little difficulty understanding me, and it is enough to speak louder to make myself understood when this happens.
    Curiously, black people and indigenous tend to understand me better than other people who are not descendants of the Portuguese. I realized that the number of generations that speak Portuguese associated with that person is connected with a better understanding, among other factors.

      It is not that different at all, just diferent way to use the same rules of the language, and even inside brazil there is lots of regions that speak like portugual. Only the pronunciantion which is a little diferent but mutualy funny.
