Demasiado interessante este seu comentário, ele demonstra palavras de alta complexidade que apenas poderiam vir de uma pessoa com um grande intelecto, digno de ser notado por outras pessoas e de receber elogios, ah e eu já ia me esquecendo, o conteúdo desta sua mensagem é sensacional!
Como um estrangeiro que começou aprender português há quase três meses, eu completamente concordo com vocês. Estou usando esta chance para exercitar meu português escrevendo estas palavras inteligentes e complexas e procurando atributos para descrevê-las. Tenho prazer em fazer isso com as pessoas reais.
@@lazar_rad Realmente meu companheiro estrangeiro, não há maneira melhor de se exercitar uma língua do que praticando ela com pessoas reais, tenho que dar meus elogios, pois não é qualquer um que absorve a língua portuguesa em apenas três meses (ao menos creio eu), ainda mais quando se é um eslavo, mas desde já tenho que ressaltar que você trás a tona um assunto muito interessante, às famosas palavras complexas, não há nada melhor do que lembrar da "pneumoultramicroscopicossilicovulcanoconiótico" ou da "Paraclorobenzilpirrolidinonetilbenzimidazol", e como iria me esquecer da "Piperidinoetoxicarbometoxibenzofenona"? Realmente, em cada uma dessas palavras há uma grande carga linguista que apenas uma pessoa intelectual poderia pronunciar.

Yep, tea and marmalade. The portuguese were the first people to approach the nowadays very common practice among drug dealers; offer some of the good stuff for free, get them hooked, then sell it to them bc you're the only one that has access to it! :P
Portuguese missionaries even introduced us vietnamese the latin alphabet so we dont have to study tons of chinese characters now for writing. Thanks for that :))
Portuguese missionaries: Here is the latin alphabet, enjoy. Vietnamese: All those letters need tiny hats. Portuguese: What the hell are you doing? Vietnamese: France told me I could.
The reason Spain is UTC + 2 is because back when Spain and Germany were fascist, Franco changed their time zone to Germany's as a sign of friendship, and they never really changed it back
Fun fact: In some European languages, orange is called "portukal" because it was introduced by Portuguese merchants. Also in Arabic it's called "burtukal" for this reason.
Ooh, I love language trivia! Another Lusophone tidbit is the fact that the Portuguese word for tea, chá, is of Asian origin and not European (it's usually just some variant of "te" for the other Latin languages), due to, surprise, all of their early trading with the Japanese. The word "chai" is of course a descendant of the Chinese "chá 茶", which means that we've all been saying "tea tea lattes" this whole time like a bunch of MORONS.
@@GiantPetRat Many people think that the word tea come from the chinese word thai. But it don't. The word tea come from the portuguese queen of england that introduse tea in England. She loved to drink tea at 5 o'clock, so when she moved to England, she take with her a large wooden box with a lot of tea, and in that box they write "Transporte de Ervas Aromáticas" (transport of scenty weeds) and the servants don't know to read portuguese so everyday they say just the first letters from the box "the queen want her 5 o'clock TEA". Because she was the queen, people want to have tea with her, and that become a standart in high-society, and eventually a standart all across England.
@@almahperditae You are kidding right? There's no way it is that simple hahaha But i don't doubt, languages are strange, for exemple, in EUA, americans called the West in 1800s as Far West or Old West, in Brazil we still say "Velho Oeste" (Old West) to describe it, but Far West movies and other things realated to it, we call Faroeste, that is a rough way of saying Far West, i can only imagine one american talking about it, and some guys didn't understood that and begun saying Faroeste, hahahaha.

Visit us her in Bragança!! We are kinda isolated but here is a very important cultural history of Portugal. We are always forgotten but one of the most active papers in the wars against spain was in Bragança and we actually have a lots of castles and ruins here. For example Vimioso has an special kind of history because Vimioso is kinda of a mountain nut the castle was situated downtown. So it was build an observatory (i dont know the english word) and from there you can see all the villages arround and you can see thru the spanish frontier!!
Portugal has so much influence in our small state of goa from the architecture to the food as well as the music even now v use so many words from the Portuguese language in our daily konkani convos
@@laudemara.b.1736 Na verdade, o português era falado por lá enquanto estava sob comando de Portugal (últimos 400 anos creio eu), porém quando devolveram Macau para os chineses houve uma grande migração para lá, o que acabou fazendo a maioria da população falar o chinês, atualmente poucos lá falam português, como por exemplo os mais velhos e às pessoas interessadas na língua, porém o português como língua é pouco utilizado por lá.

I spoke Spanish in a bar in Lisbon, and after a moment of hesitation as they realized that I am not a Spaniard, the Portuguese there replied very friendly in perfect español.
Estúpido hablar inglés en Portugal cuando te entiendes perfectamente hablando español o portugués, o portuñol. Quitaos ese complejo de inferioridad, es absurdo que prefiráis que os hablen en inglés a que os hablen en español, cuando lo entendéis perfectamente. Eso tiene un nombre y se llama hispanofobia, y no digo más.
@@goodaimshield1115 If we Portuguese know how to speak English better than Spanish, why the hell should we speak in Spanish?! We're not servants of your language...
@@goodaimshield1115 lol se for assim vocês têm lusofobia! Quando o espanhol vai a Portugal a falar espanhol a gente faz o melhor para o entender mas quando o português vai a Espanha só ouve "-ai no te entendo!" epah com licença! Dia 1 de Dezembro obtivemos a independência, a partir de aí não temos mais que entender a vossa língua. Sempre ouvi dizer " De Espanha não vem bom vento nem bom casamento". Mas que fique claro na tua cabeça que os portugueses não odeiam Espanha mas sim serem confundidos com ela... beijo grande
@@goodaimshield1115 its not that of an absurd that we prefer an universal language to a near country language. We learn english on school and there are few people who learn spanish. Not everione understands spanish and its not an inferiority complex. We are VERY PROUD of Portugal that always fought (against spain) for its independence and always won. We DO NOT FEEL INFERIOR, we just dont like people who feel superior. Thats all.
@@DoubleAAce Well, you actually did. During the Peninsular War your generals and troops came to "aid" us, but ended up ocuppying the country for some years and stealing some of our treasures. Either way, we shouldn't also forget your help against the Spanish during the succession crisis (XIV century), especially in the Battle of Aljubarrota, so I think we have a love-hate History...
@@DoubleAAce actually you couldnt loll cause spain would have turned on england just so that english didnt have any actual power over the peninsula iberica < 3 wich is funny its like two brothers always fighting but when someone else joins both turn on them
@@imaanzehra8403 And it was well done, not because of fascism, but that timezone gives us our unique lifestyle. We start dinner from 9 to 10 pm, sun still shining (while not in winter), and we love it.
I beg your pardon, it was not Portugal "who decided" to have a different time zone making sound that Spain's timezone is somehow right. Portugal and England are correct. The Timezone Spain uses was implemented according Germany's instructions for Spain to have the same timezone as Germany during the second world war, and After the war, Franco didn't restore the timezone. The Spanish timezone does not correspond to the Solar Time, as the sun reaches its peak at 13 and not 12. Ok? Thank you
This is not correct, the majority part of Spain is in the correct timezone like France. But Galicia and the west of the country is not. In France happens the same.
@@joseribera4209 wrong. The Greenwich meridian line is west of Zaragoza, close to Lleida... Meaning only a bit of Aragon, the Balearic Islands, Valencia and Catalonia are really in +1... But most of the country is +0
Spain should be in the UTC 0 timezone. Franco wanted to align himself with Hitler and so took Spain out of the “correct” one. Most of France lies in the UTC+1 so the entire country now sits in the Central European TimeZone
No, not even the Monarchy flag was similar, there was a period that the flags look quite a like lol but that was back when Portugal or in this case " Portucal " existed but Finland didn't, later the monarchy flag ( blue and white ) was exactly like the republic one ( red and green ) but instead of the sfere in the middle it had a crown.
@@TheAquarius1978 I don’t know the specifics of which was Portugal’s (or ”Portucal’s”) regular flag or ”Monarchy flag”, so I just put in, what I heard that the blue-and-white flag was your old flag.
@@PC_Simo Yea i know, i wasn't criticizing you lol, i was just saying that the newer monarchy flag is exactly like the republic one but white and blue ( white instead of red, and blue instead of green, and instead of the sfere in the middle it had the shield and a crown ) it was just an observation nothing more mate, the older one was the one with a white field and a blue cross that was indeed slightly similar to the new Finish flag.
Love Portugal from Germany ☺️ especially the raw beauty of the west coast 🥰 Portuguese people are also my fav Southern Europeans cause even though they can definitely party, they also tend to be more quiet and melancholic which is easier to handle for me than Greeks, Spanish and Italians 😬 sorry
I love it too, but since there are soo many Germans commuting (am Donnerstag Abend sitze ich normalerweise schon im Flieger:-), visiting and moving to Portugal, what I hear from s o m e Portuguese perspectives is this: "good for you, that you enjoy our more introvert and sensitive culture, but for us locals you come across just as similar to those Greeks, Spanish and Italians you try to avoid ("often those Alemão are the loudest, but without the humour and sensitivity of those other Mediterranean countries"🙂.)
That is true, though the Portuguese did use them too, but credit belongs to Spain there. Spain was also the first European Power since the Collapse of the Roman empire to start using Blueprints for ship building.
Im not sure about that so please dont send hate to me but i think it was actually Portugal who onvente the galleon. Exemple.: Conquers in Africa and Asia were made with military ships so Galleons. An army that was send to intimidate India made with galleons. The invencible army made with 1/3 o portuguese ships was full of galleons.
@@qwertyuiopasone3053 Portuguese brought Tea from India to the British. It was the first contact with tea by the British. So Portugal addicted British with tea, than Britain became obsessed with India.
@Carlos Saraiva Actually most Spanish have a huge respect and love towards Portugal. I'd even go as far as to say it's by far one the most loved countries in the entire world by the Spanish. I wish that feeling were mutual, but unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case.
@@donpipetas1717 I think there's a lot of misconception there. While I feel there's a fraction of the population that dislikes España, I think the vast majority like to have a neighbor like you. Speaking for me, I go there as many times as I can, love the country and always feel at home. Viva la Peninsula.
@@maarkkes9618 you can find haters on both sides of the border but they are a minority. Portugal and Spain get along really well. I'm Spanish and I love Portugal and always feel like I'm visiting a relative when I meet Portuguese people
Italy: fought since Roman times France: fought everyone surrounding them...and even themselves Spain: fought their British rivals, themselves and the Turks/Muslims Romania(and its principalities): fought against Hungary, Poland, Mongols, Russians and Turks...and occasionally themselves Portugal: always fought and won against the seas...by themselves
Portugal fought the Ottomans over naval dominance in Asia and had major conflicts during the Age of Discovery. As mentioned in the video, Portugal had to fight Napoleon and with the aid of British archers they were victorious. 3 times Napoleon tried and all 3 he was unsuccessful...The only other country I can think of that pulled off such a feat must be Russia.
I love Portugal. I am Mexican but, oddly enough, have a Portuguese surname: Favela (yes, Brazilians, it is a Portuguese surname, I did the research okay). Took a DNA test and came out with a little over 10% Portuguese. I hope to one day visit the land of my ancestors.
Im from Badajoz (Spanish town in the border next to Portugal) and I've visited Portugal so many times. I've even lived in Lisbon for a year. It's such a great country so Spanish like. I hate to see when they act like rivals. When working together Spain and Portugal can achieve so many great things. Now, they have applied to host soccer world cup around the two countries together in 2030
"Hey João, can i speak spanish in Portu..." "No" "But..." "NOOO" P.S. I am portuguese. The thing is spaniards don't often try to speak portuguese in Portugal, and the languages may be similar but they are not identical so some of the times that leads to confusing moments.First hand experience. Just common, at least have a dictionary when you travel abroad.
Actually... most Portuguese are able to speak some Spanish, and if they speak Portuguese to us Spaniards slowly enough we would understand. And the written language is almost identical. Sometimes I am reading something in Portuguese and I don't even notice it is not my language until the 6th or 7th word.
Javier Arriaga García yes, it’s just the lack of knowledge that there’s so much rich culture in Iberia that is annoying. As Barbs said, we’re pretty similar and not only in language. It’s good to share Iberia with España, they’re nice.
@@joaopinho2361 They are nice until they speak about their history (specially the Spanish Civil War and the Spanish Golden Era with the Spanish Black Legend).
1:40 it's actually Spain following the wrong timezone, they were in the same as UK and Portugal, but then Franco decided to change and adopt the same of Germany for his friendship with Hitler
There is a huge portuguese inmigration in Venezuela, especially from Madeira Island, a lot of Venezuelan beauty queens are portuguese descendants and have portuguese surnames :)
There is a huge venezuelan community in Madeira Island as well and is very common to hear spanish around the island because of this. A lot of our beauty queens here are venezuelans because you lot are all gorgeous and mostly taller than us 😂
Visited Portugal for the first time this past September and fell in love with the country, definitely visiting again next year. 10/10 recommend for anyone who wants to visit a budget friendly European destination.
@@Finish303 We were friends with england, we just happened to be under union with spain.... and you can see how that turned out XD we are only friends in spain as much as modern countries that didnt suceed and are neightebours are. we are iberian and we trade too much to want wars or conflicts, but honestly portugal is closer (people) to brazil and (country) to england and in some cases yes... spain but only modernly
Much love to Portugal 🇵🇹 from Macau, your last colony 🇲🇴 The Portuguese left a good legacy in our small city, it was very sad in 1999 for many Macau people. We hope that your country is doing well in this virus times 🤗🤗
Sou brasileiro, minha esposa é lusodescendente e meus enteados são portugueses. Sinto orgulho de parte de minhas raízes serem portuguesas. Minha cidade, o Rio de Janeiro, foi a capital do Império Português por 14 anos e a aclamação do El Rei D. João VI no Brasil muito nos honrou.
I'd also like to thank you for allowing us to marry your Phillipa of Lecanster to our king John I, which then led to the Treaty of Windsor between Portugal and England - one of the oldest alliances in the world.

Been there mate, in Auckland and Wellington! Actually, i was in a military base in whanuapai near Auckland... funny thing is we pronounced "uanuapai" or so we thought it was the correct way, but the personell there laughed so hard, its like "fanuapai"... we would never guessed it...

As a Spaniard, best regards to our Portuguese brothers/neighbours (delete what you think it's wrong). You are a very nice people and Portugal is a beautiful country. Also, sorry for Spanish tourists that insist on speaking Spanish because they can't bothered to learn a few words. (hey, I can say with a proper-ish accent _Funchal_ and _obrigado_ XD)
That is the main reason why I don't like Spanish people as much as I could. They can't be bothered to speak a few Portuguese words when they come visit (and even so we try our best to speak Spanish so they feel welcome), but when the Portuguese visit Spain, if we don't speak Spanish, we are always replied with "No te intiendo". Thanks for your words, bro!
@@FlipOver A los portugueses, con un poco de esfuerzo, les es sumamente fácil entender español, y por tanto les es muy fácil aprender palabras básicas (los portugueses que conozco que no viven en España no saben español, hablan portuñol, pero español, cero, a no ser que lo hayan estudiado, o como he dicho, vivan en España). Para un español es infinitamente más difícil entender portugués. Y no tiene nada que ver con soberbia u orgullo, o vagancia, tiene que ver con el sistema fonológico de cada lengua. El español fonéticamente es muchísimo más fácil que el portugués, y para un Portugués, más fácil todavía. Precisamente por la simpleza fonológica del español (en cuanto a vocales sobretodo), un español simplemente NO PUEDE, no es capaz, de distinguir los sonidos del portugués. Lo que a vosotrso os cuesta solo un poco de esfuerzo, para la mayoría de españoles es simplemente imposible, por más que se esfuercen, a no ser que estén acostumbrados a escuchar el portugués y hayan afinado el oído con los años.
@@goodaimshield1115 I'm not talking about speaking perfect Portuguese or Spanish, but enough so others can at least appreciate the effort. And sure as hell you are not one of the people who will give it a try. But fun story, bro, come to Portugal and I'll reply "Não te entendo".

Technically it's Spain that's in the wrong time zone, not Portugal. Compare their Longitude to Greenwich to see why.
Pretty cool!🇵🇹
Portugal uses UTC 0 not +1 and Spain uses UTC +1 not +2
Also Tagus is longer than Douro if we count all the river
Praia da Luz is where Madeleine McCann went missing
You know the nation loves the ocean, when they literally have 'port' in their name.
yyeaa but if you want a better sea go to Almada, Cascais, Lisboa > Porto, gaia
We have port in our name. Puerto Rico.
they also have a city named Porto
Puerto Rico translates to Rich Port.

Actually it is Spain that has changed their time zone.
To the Three Reich in fact. The WWII drums of war.
It was actually Franco who wanted to get closer to Nazi Germany. Spain just decided to keep the timezone.
I was about to say that!
@@imaanzehra8403 And it was well done, not because of fascism, but that timezone gives us our unique lifestyle.
We start dinner from 9 to 10 pm, sun still shining (while not in winter), and we love it.
@@acermations4368 Easy, it's part of the ACT test equivalent in Spain.
I beg your pardon, it was not Portugal "who decided" to have a different time zone making sound that Spain's timezone is somehow right. Portugal and England are correct. The Timezone Spain uses was implemented according Germany's instructions for Spain to have the same timezone as Germany during the second world war, and After the war, Franco didn't restore the timezone. The Spanish timezone does not correspond to the Solar Time, as the sun reaches its peak at 13 and not 12. Ok?
Thank you
This is not correct, the majority part of Spain is in the correct timezone like France.
But Galicia and the west of the country is not.
In France happens the same.
@@joseribera4209 wrong. The Greenwich meridian line is west of Zaragoza, close to Lleida... Meaning only a bit of Aragon, the Balearic Islands, Valencia and Catalonia are really in +1... But most of the country is +0
Spain should be in the UTC 0 timezone. Franco wanted to align himself with Hitler and so took Spain out of the “correct” one. Most of France lies in the UTC+1 so the entire country now sits in the Central European TimeZone
Actually, it was not because of Hitler. It was due to Spain and France market, that Spain adopted the French timezone, which was aligned with Germany.
Why so angry? Jeez...
Love to Portugal from Finland (who have a very similar flag to your old one) 🇫🇮❤️🇵🇹.
No, not even the Monarchy flag was similar, there was a period that the flags look quite a like lol but that was back when Portugal or in this case " Portucal " existed but Finland didn't, later the monarchy flag ( blue and white ) was exactly like the republic one ( red and green ) but instead of the sfere in the middle it had a crown.
We saved your ass from starvation in 1940, remember that when we need that financial aid
@@TheAquarius1978 I don’t know the specifics of which was Portugal’s (or ”Portucal’s”) regular flag or ”Monarchy flag”, so I just put in, what I heard that the blue-and-white flag was your old flag.

Portuguese people are also my fav Southern Europeans cause even though they can definitely party, they also tend to be more quiet and melancholic which is easier to handle for me than Greeks, Spanish and Italians 😬 sorry
i love germany^^ from portugal soo much love^^
I love it too, but since there are soo many Germans commuting (am Donnerstag Abend sitze ich normalerweise schon im Flieger:-), visiting and moving to Portugal, what I hear from s o m e Portuguese perspectives is this:
"good for you, that you enjoy our more introvert and sensitive culture, but for us locals you come across just as similar to those Greeks, Spanish and Italians you try to avoid ("often those Alemão are the loudest, but without the humour and sensitivity of those other Mediterranean countries"🙂.)
Just a note: a galleon is not a Portuguese ship. It is a spanish one. Portugal, during the age of discoveries, mostly used the caravela and the nau
That is true, though the Portuguese did use them too, but credit belongs to Spain there. Spain was also the first European Power since the Collapse of the Roman empire to start using Blueprints for ship building.
Im not sure about that so please dont send hate to me but i think it was actually Portugal who onvente the galleon. Exemple.: Conquers in Africa and Asia were made with military ships so Galleons. An army that was send to intimidate India made with galleons. The invencible army made with 1/3 o portuguese ships was full of galleons.

P.S. I am portuguese. The thing is spaniards don't often try to speak portuguese in Portugal, and the languages may be similar but they are not identical so some of the times that leads to confusing moments.First hand experience. Just common, at least have a dictionary when you travel abroad.
Actually... most Portuguese are able to speak some Spanish, and if they speak Portuguese to us Spaniards slowly enough we would understand.
And the written language is almost identical. Sometimes I am reading something in Portuguese and I don't even notice it is not my language until the 6th or 7th word.
As a Portuguese that speaks spanish that is just a stereotype. Obviously we don't like being confused with Spaniards but we don't overreact about it.

Estou feliz de que alguém se lembrou de nós, ilhas! Excelente vídeo, greetings from the Azores!😊💜
as ilhas são das partes mais importantes de Portugal
@@realharlow Todas as partes e cantinhos de Portugal são importantes!
@@catblima21 concordo, eu disse aquilo porque tu disseste "alguém se lembrou" se não se lembrassem era mau porque as ilhas são muito importantes, não foi no sentido mau
As a Spaniard, best regards to our Portuguese brothers/neighbours (delete what you think it's wrong). You are a very nice people and Portugal is a beautiful country.
Also, sorry for Spanish tourists that insist on speaking Spanish because they can't bothered to learn a few words. (hey, I can say with a proper-ish accent _Funchal_ and _obrigado_ XD)
That is the main reason why I don't like Spanish people as much as I could. They can't be bothered to speak a few Portuguese words when they come visit (and even so we try our best to speak Spanish so they feel welcome), but when the Portuguese visit Spain, if we don't speak Spanish, we are always replied with "No te intiendo".
Thanks for your words, bro!
@@FlipOver A los portugueses, con un poco de esfuerzo, les es sumamente fácil entender español, y por tanto les es muy fácil aprender palabras básicas (los portugueses que conozco que no viven en España no saben español, hablan portuñol, pero español, cero, a no ser que lo hayan estudiado, o como he dicho, vivan en España). Para un español es infinitamente más difícil entender portugués. Y no tiene nada que ver con soberbia u orgullo, o vagancia, tiene que ver con el sistema fonológico de cada lengua. El español fonéticamente es muchísimo más fácil que el portugués, y para un Portugués, más fácil todavía. Precisamente por la simpleza fonológica del español (en cuanto a vocales sobretodo), un español simplemente NO PUEDE, no es capaz, de distinguir los sonidos del portugués. Lo que a vosotrso os cuesta solo un poco de esfuerzo, para la mayoría de españoles es simplemente imposible, por más que se esfuercen, a no ser que estén acostumbrados a escuchar el portugués y hayan afinado el oído con los años.
@@goodaimshield1115 I'm not talking about speaking perfect Portuguese or Spanish, but enough so others can at least appreciate the effort. And sure as hell you are not one of the people who will give it a try. But fun story, bro, come to Portugal and I'll reply "Não te entendo".
@@goodaimshield1115 é verdade, eu vivi em Espanha e de facto não conseguem entender, em particular os nosso ditongos "suenan muy raros"
@@goodaimshield1115 tienes alguna razón, pero, en general, El español no habla (o se le da muy mal) hablar inglês por ejemplo... Igual con los italianos y los brasileños.
Saludos desde Cascais, Portugal.

Imma be honest and say we Portuguese share the number 1 spot with you guys 🐙
@Carlos Saraiva Galicia is not one province of Spain, it's four: A Corunha, Lugo, Ourense and Pontevedra.
@@oliverraven Oh come on...you are the portuguese from the north...
@@jmlmo35 wtf Portugal is the Spain of the west
Hahaha. Thank hod he didn’t mention churrasco because it would open another wound
I'm from Brunei and Portugal was probably the first European trading partner because of course spices
I'm part Portuguese, but my mom taught me nothing about my routes.
So nice to finally learn about the rich history and culture.
Thank you so much!
Was in Lagos and Lisbon in July! amazing country, weather, history, football, food, people and prices!!! 10/10 would recommend

"Portuguese people hate when you confuse spanish wth portuguese"
[pronounces every word with spanish accent]
Rage intensifies.
True
The greek language sounds way more like spanish/castilian than portuguese do.
Max 007 survive portugal
Verdade ☺️
Trueee
17:43 This is actually a common misconception. Many Japanese words actually came from Portuguese, but the word arigatou is derived from an expression that already exists in Japanese.
Portugal and Spain are like brothers. We fight and compete all the time but in the end we came from the same roots
That's it broo !!!

I love Portugal! I visited there 4 years ago and I absolutely loved it. A month ago I visited Brasil, and Rio reminded me a lot of Lisbon with the little rock sidewalks and the unique language. I really want to go back to Portugal and explore more this amazing sailor country! Greetings from Mexico City!
