American REACTS to Portuguese Lifestyle | Portugal Is Amazing

[@brunosilva6778]

I'm Portuguese and I must correct something. We hold the fork with left hand and knife with right hand

[@beatrizquendera8068]

Let’s be honest... 98% das pessoas que estão aqui são portuguesas e estão aqui para ver o que os estrangeiros acham de nós e se cometem calinadas para podermos dizer como é 😂

[@marianamorais3987]

Tugas a ver isto, expliquem à miuda q baking soda ha em todo o lado

[@Henrique-ll1uv]

Os estrangeiros devem pensar que só comemos bacalhau, é raro eu comer só no Natal quase

[@marialobo8167]

i am assuming this person was living amongst students in a big city because generally people do live in houses or bigger apartments, they're just in the outskirts of the cities

[@samuelcosta8762]

We refrigerate the milk only when we open it up, before opening it doesnt need to because it doesnt catch air and we do have cookies hahahah we just dont usually bake them we buy them already made

[@rickbragarules]

She lived in Lisbon, for sure... Imagine if she had gone out to know the rest 😁

[@plcleader]

They are not refugees, they are from former colonies. Ita great that you've enjoyed our country, you are allways welcome

[@oteupai.2841]

they are, not Africans, but there are tons of refugees here

[@aico564]

there are both

[@wilsonm8368]

For the portuguese people, the "my time" cereals she's talking about, it's the one from Pingo Doce.

[@RicardGomes76]

We have baking soda! In portuguese is bicabornato de sódio.

[@estelamira3760]

what is «my time»? for me the best & most known portuguese cereal are estrelitas & chocapic

[@0Flow0]

What differs from my country Finland is that in Portugal it's considered normal to wear outside clothes indoors in winter. I've never been as cold as I've been in Northern Portugal in January.

[@madalenafaria1244]

Eating with a fork and a knife is the way to eat in most Europe, not only Portugal

[@brunosantos1973]

Oh by the way, In Portugal, you can speak in english, french or Spanish, almost everyone speaks more than a language...you forgot (probably) that one.. But loved your comments about my country, and yes, we always use fork and knife... unlles your eating soup...loool

[@pedrolemos8114]

C'mon pessoal, let's go easy in the comments, she wasn't correct on everything she said, but we can see that she liked it being in Portugal.

[@rayvogensen2983]

Milk is refrigerated after opening. Before that it is kept in packaging called Tetra Pak. Tetra Pak uses aseptic packaging technology. In aseptic processing the product and the package are sterilized separately and then combined and sealed in a sterile atmosphere, in contrast to canning, where product and package are first combined and then sterilized. When filled with ultra-heat treated (UHT) foodstuffs (liquids like milk and juice or processed food like vegetables and preserved fruits), the aseptic packages can be preserved without being chilled for up to one year, with the result that distribution and storage costs, as well as environmental impact, is greatly reduced and product shelf life expanded. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetra_Pak

[@margaridaferreira8029]

What a hell is My time? Never saw those cereals

[@gilsousa6707]

This girl loves Portugal, THANK YOU

[@arianasilva7573]

I’m Portuguese and I live in United States and it’s been like maybe 3-4 years and I haven’t gone there to visit so I miss it so much and watching this made me really really happy, so thank you so much 🙏🏾🥺❤️

[@johncarter1288]

Hey I am Portuguese; I always used my fork on the right and knife on the left. I am a left handed person. :) Beijinho as you said is on spot! ;) About the side walks, that is the reason there are not much skate boarders around here. :( You are very wrong about the refugees , people from Angola, Moçambique and Brazil , enter in Portugal easily due to Portuguese colonization back in the old days. Codfish being one of our most traditional foods, they all come from Norway! But the Nordics do not cook as well as we do, trust me on this.. The pot dish you had with shrimps and seafood, I think you are talking about the "Caldeirada" that is the most typical dish from my home town (Peniche). Very common dish among fisherman here. The best ones are cooked on boats by them fisherman. "Voçê" (you) is also used in Portugal but in a more formal way than Brasil, like when you talk to a older lady you call her "Voçê", but to a friend you would say "tu". Good video none the less. Thank you for it.

[@joaojoaquim9341]

Eu ia agr comentar Ela cometeu muitos erros a falar sobre a tuga , obrigado por me poupares trabalho

[@MissZazamix]

People from Angola are not refugees anymore. They are our brothers from ex-colonies.

[@Teorispa]

Codfish and rice? Outrageous XD

[@desanipt]

Arroz de bacalhau é bem bom...

[@marcinhonovavista]

arroz de bacalhau com pimentos!!

[@realcomsolucoes7403]

The Portuguese can play with the words too this is clear after some years being in Portugal and fully understand the cultural background that is very intense and rich

[@isabelfaustino9357]

I'm Portuguese and in Portugal we also say você ,it's a more polite way to adress somebody older or in a higher position.

[@Madjerozkaz]

i found everything pretty accurate, however, you only eat with the fork on the right hand if you are lefty, when eating with fork and knife, the knife always goes in the dominant hand

[@afonsonobrega4337]

"It's not leitchi it's leite" 😂😂😂

[@gypsydlipe6017]

So beautiful 😍 I'm portuguese que não percebe um caralho de inglês.. But, so beautiful 😍😂😂😂😂

[@aviestrela]

Portuguese also use the word voce Its a formal way of saying tu You also forgot how friendly and helpful Portuguese people are They will literally go out of there way to help

[@bibioks4978]

I’m 🇧🇷, living in 🇺🇸 , dying to move to Portugal 🇵🇹. I love everything in Portugal 🇵🇹 more than Brazil 🇧🇷

[@filipamargarida6474]

Yeees we do have chocolate chips!! And apartments are real houses 😂 we have banking soda it's bicabornato de sodio

[@susanaporto454]

It's always nice to hear other people's view on Portugal and I'm really glad you liked it here!

[@kempomaster701]

Portugal... Sounds like paradise 👍

[@misfortune101]

It's funny how she talked about portuguese being like the english and the portuguese of brazil being like america, because it's so true, and it's interesting! Seeing someone talking about our culture, because portuguese people always notice and react to diferent cultures and costumes. I do that myself (:

[@cclop6516]

She is sharing her experience, and I think she is very sweet, I work at a hostel and hear most of these comments from other foreigners. Nice video

[@juiceboxleal6254]

There’s definitely houses lol obviously in a city its apartaments. And its vice versa there are portuguese that go to angola for work as well. Its a former colony.

[@tonymcmahon_historybear]

She is right about the number of bakeries - and pharmacies. The bakeries for the bread and the pharmacies for the cholesterol tests required from too much carbohydrates. I'm half-Portuguese.

[@ruisemedo1407]

Yeah Cape Verde best african country ever we might not have much but we are happy!! 🇨🇻🇨🇻 Hopefully you liked our humble country! 🇵🇹

[@Pafeitipre]

For baking soda just ask for "bicarbonato de sódio"

[@coldanian3086]

Me as a good Portuguese watching this 😂

[@tuka24a]

Of course Portugal is amazing. We don’t need to be drunk 🥴 to party.The food is amazing and the weather dammm I miss home. People all over Portugal are different.We are more friendly in south than those in Lisbon 😂. Same story in London people are not friendly as compared to people from north England.

[@yzack5521]

*They always eat with a fork and a knife* *My porteguese ass eating soup with a spoon* Also me : *What am I doing ?...*

[@mariaineslucas3196]

You really took a lot in, and you hung around a lot with portuguese! I’m pleasantly surprised! Well done

[@oddeology1259]

For most people the fork is in the left hand and the knife is in the right hand.

[@brunomiguel4850]

It's a nice resume of our country for those who want to visit us and take their time here. Thank you for this video. Oh, btw, we find baking soda in every super market, I think you just didn't search properly.

[@Julieb210]

Milk is pasteurised. Hence no need to refrigerate before opening.

[@xace1903]

Actually we hold the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right hand.

[@igorf4052]

Of course, if you are in Oporto or Lisbon, the majority of the properties are apartments. But if you go to Madeira Island or others cities, you will see so many big houses, believe! And they are made of concrete, not wood! Ps. We use the fork in the left hand.

[@magalygouveia.MusicaYArte]

Yes... definitively we are amazing!!! Proud, very proud of being portuguese!!!💕

[@madeiranmarvel2116]

If your friends chicken soup was called 'canja' you do eat the foot...as well as almost every other part of the chicken including organs... thats why it tastes so good! :) Voce is the formal of you and tu is the informal, we use both... if you were use tu with an older person then you are being rude.

[@ZecaPinto1]

0:10 wait a minute! Go back, go back! I remember eating with the fork on my left hand and the knife on the right hand, not the other way around!

[@GuanildasPapperCakes]

Loved your perspective and I'm glad you like it here!

[@Strelkaful]

Baking Soda is very common, the thing is it's called by the chemical name - sodium bicarbonate (bicarbonato de sódio in Portuguese).

[@emiliaslayer]

Portuguese people also love Coffee ☕️

[@joanafigueira4548]

All supermarkets have baking soda, it's called bicarbonato de sódio. And we don't refrigerate the milk because is preserved in vacuum... after you open it you need to refrigerate

[@NelsondeQuinhones]

She really got it. I'm truly impressed

[@jsilvamaintenance]

Great vlog , very good analysis of portuguese food . In general is quality but dont forget cheese and wine ! Cheers

[@EngineersQuest]

I have two crazy ideas, lol. Cut your food first then put the knife down. Peas and corn escaping your fork? Use a spoon. I'm Portuguese too.

[@jbbandeira100]

This is the best review of the country so far. I've heard only positive statments about my country. It's incredibly satisfactory.

[@alexandreishfaq7]

Baking soda it's "bicarbonato de sódio" you can find like everywhere, in Continente, jumbo and others super and hipermarkets in Portugal 🤗

[@alexmarana3318]

Is her hair made of gold? Good looking hair.

[@leonorbarbosa7680]

I'm glad you were happy here. I also think it is an excellent country to live in.

[@alexandradecastro5142]

I’m portuguese and I live in a duplex in Chiado...... small ? No Depends on everyone like in every country Bakeries ? So true 😊 and almost all good

[@marlenerosa3877]

The Portuguese also use the word "voce" has a formal way to address with more respect someone you don't know well.

[@connieb3132]

I'm Portuguese and impressed with your description .I'm so glad to know that you liked Portugal.Nothing like Portuguese bread.👍.Thank you for your time and hope you'll go back some time.

[@gabrielbalde6215]

I love everthing about 🇵🇹 is my country

[@arikatila]

This lady is truly american... and I believe that her visit did open her eyes to the world. And at the same time tells how she met the huge variety of foods, sweets and manners. She did not mention wine at all, lol. And hey, we do have baking soda in Portugal, it is just called bicarbonate 😀

[@afonsoferreira2652]

I've always lived in real houses :)

[@valeriaraposo1]

-It depends on the zone, I think she was refering to mostly citys :)

[@redpixl3663]

this girl really was amazed at using cutlery normally

[@heldercassoto666]

I'm portuguese,i live on a little village,i only use a fork,and when i use a knife i use it in the right hand...

[@margaridatorre6494]

Me as a Portuguese person had no idea other people didn’t do this 😂😂

[@miguelmaio431]

Its normal that some things are not totally clear for her, but I think she enjoyed Portugal in overall.

[@1g0th1gh]

if people are offering you "bacalhau" they most likely enjoy your company

[@joanaborges9450]

I loved this! Great content! ❤️😊

[@jorgemtds]

You really got the differences between the brazilian and iberian portuguese 😉. AWESOME!

[@miguel151420]

And we use "tu" if its an informal conversation and we know the person on a first name basis. Otherwise we treat people as in "você", like in Brazil

[@erikamatiasportugalreis4456]

Capeverdean here! Yeah... Poor and happy. Cuz there's nothing else we can do. Also I'm half Portuguese so... Love your comments 🥰

[@Kidmann]

I am Portuguese and I hold the cuttlery as you told, but the other Portuguese people do they eat with the fork on their left hand and knife on the right. Brazilian people do eat like me (the opposite of Portuguese)

[@afonsocanas2208]

7:30 like they probably just don’t know what you meant when u said baking soda because it’s legit everywhere😂

[@ruineves9839]

I'm portuguese I found your experience very nice. (I wonder how americans eat a steak with a fork - they say eating with chinese steks it's difficult but you will win) I hope you come back .

[@Arqadeshadow]

A lot of refugees in Portugal really????. It's a small country not like the USA

[@ricardojesus9347]

fork in the left, knif in the right....we also use only fork when ther's no need to knif

[@MrJorge3010]

Tbh you can have the knife on either hand, it's a matter of personal preference. My parents are right handed and use the knife on their left hand, but my brother and I use it on the right (brother is left handed)

[@Heismvn]

wow shes so wholesome

[@cinzafenix08]

We also eat 🐌 snails 😊🎸

[@martasouso8244]

You should come to S. João no Porto, the best party ever❤️🎉🎉

[@madmoicano]

We don't refrigerate the milk in sotores because we do UHP (Ultra high Pasturization) and use Tretapack boxes. It can keep at room temperature for like 1 year in some cases. But as soon as you open it must br refrigerated and lasts less than a week as usual. Also we live in houses, you were onlu exposed to the capital, everywhere elses it«s like 80% has a house. and ourt houses are made from ciment blocks or stone, 100+ years and they will be here...

[@helenarebelo3510]

It's funny how she makes immigration sound cute in Portugal and like the situation in the US is nothing like ours

[@sobescuta]

Portuguese people are natural bilinguals :)

[@maguiferreiraable]

Btw of course we have chocolate chips to bake cookies in all big or little supermarkets . We belong to European Union they made us have chocolate chips 😂

[@windambee303]

I'm happy you had a good experience here 😉

[@joseleandro75]

Im portuguese and I rarely use the knife lol i pratically just eat with the fork and my family as well Not that weird anymore

[@patriciavcardoso1344]

I think you're talking about Lisbon... I'm Portuguese and lisboeta . Thanks for the video tho. it's awesome to see how other people react to our country

[@Kidmann]

Very good analyses. Some mistakes there but it is natural. You are definitly describing a Portuguese from a big city. There is a lot of baking soda here :-) It's not that Brazilian likes to play out with words more than Portuguese. It is just that they don't give a damn if the words are right or wrong written or spoken. (some Portuguese also don't care) If I tell you something like: "I luke to go the beitch and getch some sune" doesn't mean that I like to play with words more than you.. It only means that I didn't get enough good schoolar education. But even those who received it tend to go with that flow of talking and writing wrong. It is a sign of times.. Fast times. The overall analyses is interesting and good. Thank you

[@aksdtiko]

bread always comes as the biggest thing ever in every kind of video like this. Bread is life.

[@fatimavieir]

We DO have baking soda and it’s pretty common 🤣😂🤣😂

[@komlat253]

im dead lol .(i love African people) ,they just so poor and happy .........im glad we make u feel blessed loloolol

[@PortugaldoAr]

I’m glad you enjoyed your stay here in Portugal 🇵🇹. Hope you come back! 😉

[@missLidzas]

yeah bacalhau is another level of fish, a lot of people don't like fish but like bacalhau. :)

[@jorgemtds]

Great pronunciation of BACALHAU! You did not forget the "H" 😉.

[@chocoh0llc]
