like it is different but absolutelly understandable, they use the second person pronoum (tu and vos) and the verb conjugation for it and brazilians use (você and vocês) instead which is in the third person conjugation, like they also order some stuff diferent than us but it is a thing i can do too because portuguese is just wild like that, it is just not how we are used to speak and there are words that have different meaning but this also happens from state to state in brazil like the geographical distance does that. It is more different than brit vs american english for sure but it is because brit english is just american english with some extra Us in there

Actually they typically mix it up and use tu and vocês. Vós is used in certain regions but it’s not the norm.

Yeah, “vós” is seen as archaic and way too formal here in Portugal.

Everything to do with the USA’s own Imperial Backyard. From hispanics to the originary peoples of the americas to the diasporas, South America to Central America, to the Caribbean to North America (yes, we’re also there).

Post memes, art, articles, questions, anything you’d like as long as it’s about Latin America. Try to tag your posts with the language used, check the tags used above for reference (and don’t forget to put some lime and salt to it).

Here’s a handy resource to understand some of the many, many colloquialisms we like to use across the region.
