Who is the colony now, fuckers?
I’m actually surprised that China’s only the 2nd biggest in one region. Even in the small town I’m from (less than 5k people) they’re probably only behind Brazillians if they’re behind at all.
this is from 2018 so it could be dated but i was also reading about brazilians leaving the country more due to you know THE DUDE
I really want to visit the Azores
Question for Brazilians: How hard is it to understand Portugal Portuguese? From what I’ve heard the accents are vastly different, much more so than Latin/Spain Spanish or American/British English.
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
they use the second person pronoun (tu and vós)
Actually they typically mix it up and use tu and vocês. Vós is used in certain regions but it’s not the norm.
Once you get used to it it’s easy, but many people don’t have a lot of exposure and so they struggle with it. It’s mostly because the Portuguese don’t pronounce weaker vowels. Example: the word “excelente”. In Brazil they pronounce it with four syllables “e-se-len-tchi”, in Portugal it’s one syllable “shlent”.
We (Brazil) are the colony. That’s why we move there and not the other way around, because they are rich and we are poor. Right?
