Similarities Between Romanian and Portuguese

In today’s episode, we’ll be doing a language challenge to compare two Romance languages within the Indo-European languages, Romanian and Portuguese, with Andrei (Romanian speaker) and Dino (Portuguese speaker) facing each other with a few words and sentences.

Romanian is an East Romance language primarily spoken in #Romania and Moldova.
Portuguese is a West Romance language and the official language of #Portugal, Brazil, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, Angola, and São Tomé and Príncipe. It also has co-official language status in East Timor, Equatorial Guinea and Macau in China. A cultural presence of Portuguese and Portuguese creole speakers are also found in Goa, Daman and Diu in India; as well in Batticaloa on the east coast of Sri Lanka, the Indonesian island of Flores, in the Malacca state of Malaysia, and the ABC islands in the Caribbean where Papiamento is spoken, while Cape Verdean Creole is the most widely spoken Portuguese-based Creole.

[@alphadios2003]

@m nb It is still a miracle because the roman conquest is older than your empires. The romanian language is considered by that user a miracle because it is surrounded by slavic language + an uralic one. That's why. Also... the so called slavic conquest left some slavic peoples/languages which are in no way nearly as isolated as romanian is from the other romance languages.

I understood the Portuguese part, mostly because I have knowledge of Spanish. And as a Romanian speaker, I could then notice similarities between Romanian and Portuguese that would be harder to pick up if I wasn't learning Spanish. For example: (Por) Quien e ultimo de beber = (Rom) Cine e ultimul care bea. Another thing that helped is knowing that Spanish has "Tengo/Tiene = to have" which is similar to "Tin/Tine= to keep or to hold" in Romanian. However, in Romanian we use "a avea" for "to have" so this is what confused the Romanian speaker Andrei in the last question

[@eileencampos5680]

Even in Portuguese and Romanian say "Eu" as their Pronoun meaning 'I". The word "meu" masculine form for "my" in both Portuguese and Romanian. To say "Where" in Portuguese "Onde" and Romanian "Unde" same pronunciation. :)

Very interesting video! It’s amazing how there are so many similarities among all the Romance languages . This is my first time here and I like it. I’m curious to know where is Dino from. He’s not Brazilian neither Portuguese although he has a great diction when speaking our language. Something else : in the 7:30 min, when he said : “ Quem é o último “de” comer “ in Brazilian- Portuguese we would say : “ Quem é o último “a” comer “, “a” instead of “de”. I wonder if in Portugal they also use “a” instead of “ de” in that case . His “ r’s “ are also different from where I’m from in Brazil, our “r’s” are very guttural pronounced at the end of our throat more similar to the ones in French.

Hey bro i got some Words for you that you could maybe use when you do the Afghan Persian(Dari) vs Iranian Persian. Toilet in Iran = Toillet(from French) Toilet in Afghanistan = Tashnāb(Farsi) School= Madrese in Iran (From Arabic) School= Maktab in Afghanistan(Farsi) Hospital in Iran= Bimaristan-Place of the sick people (Farsi) Hospital in Afghanistan = Shafā khana- place of the healing(Farsi) Airport in Iran = Foroodgāh(Farsi) Airport in Afghanistan = Maidāne Havai - literally translated as Airport in Farsi Cat in Iran = Gorbeh Cat in Afghanistan = Pishak Vehicle Horn in Iran : Bouq ( I hope it pronounced like that) Vehicle Horn in Afghanistan: Ārang To take part in something in Iran = Sherket kardan To take part in something in Afghanistan = Eshterāk kardan Flashlight in Iran = Cheraghe Qoe Flashlight in Afghanistan = Cheraghe Dasti To search for something in Iran = Jostojo kardan To search for something in Afghanistan = Pālidan (I guess from old Persian or Avestan) Turn back in Iran = a3ghab raftan Turn back in Afghanistan = pas raftan Cup in Iran = Estekān (i guess) Cup in Afghanistan = Piāla Gift in Iran = Hadye (from Arabic i guess ) Gift in Afghanistan = Tohfa/Tohfe Walnut in Iran = Maghze Gerdoh Walnut in Afghanistan = Çahar Maghz Yawning in Iran = Khemyāze kashidan Yawning in Afghanistan = Fājha Kashidan The following words are the once I am not sure about : Zuhr bekheir Good midday in Iran Chāsht bekheir: Good midday in Afghanistan a3sr bekheir : Good afternoon in Iran Digar bekheir : Good afternoon in Afghanistan The next one would be shām bekheir in Afghanistan which means good eve but I am not sure how they say it in Iran and for the last one I am pretty sure that we both say Shab bekheir, correct me if i am wrong. And please let me know if Zohr and a3sr are really used in Iran for midday and afternoon. And sorry if I got some Iranian words wrong. And maybe also let me know if you really only use Gorbeh for cat in Iran and not pishak (like in Afghanistan)because a Kurdish friend of me (he is from turkey) once told me that in Kurdish they also say „Pishek“ which would be really interesting if you really don’t use that word because Iran lies exactly between Afghanistan and the region of Kurdistan.

[@BahadorAlast]

Thank you so much for this!! I have a few others ones as well, so this makes for a perfect list to use! We do use Zohr and Asr, it's mainly used to refer to the time of the day, but saying zuhr bekheir is used as well at times. We use gorbeh but not pishak, however, we do say pishee! I've been wanting do an "Afghanistan / Iran" video for the longest time. I even found some people who said they may do it but it never worked out. I guess I just need a person in Toronto who is really up for it and has interest in doing it! I

[@Bazinga3972]

Thanks for your response. Another word which i forgot to mention but I find really interesting is the word for Rainbow : In Iran : Rangin Kamān In Afghanistan: Kamān Rostam Found this one really interesting because the Version from Afghanistan probably goes back to old Iranian mythology.

[@OK-ur2wy]

Happy first video in 2019, cin cin and thanks Bahador

[@PristinePerceptions]

Some words are similar to Marathi and Hindi too. For example, "Morto" is similar to मृत, which is pronounced 'Mrut' in Marathi and 'Mrit' in Hindi, and means the same.

[@Arte.mi.]

But why didn’t Andrei mention that “perna” is another word in romanian, it means pillow😂😂

[@benmariusc2845]

He felt like making an exception. Before that one, he was full on references 😅😅

[@correiaivan]

Omg, i never knew romenian and Portuguese were so alike!

[@HashtagAneeza]

Out of all these lingual-similarities videos this one was most fun. Both of them seem funny. Tho i understood "Morto/Mort" only. Because as we know in English "mortal' is something that can die/ doesn't live forever. So Mort/Morto meaning death/being dead is similar to that. Loan word i guess and now i am intrigued about the origin of these languages.

[@lucas9269]

Both Portuguese and Romanian derive from Latin. Because of the fact that both were part of the Roman Empire and the loan word in English is the result of Roman and Norman French contact with it, which makes more than 50% of English vocabulary Latin-based

[@joaofaria3966]

[@avantelvsitania3359]

O vídeo está fixe, e o conceito de comparar as duas línguas latinas mais afastadas geograficamente é muito bom. Mas o sujeito português tinha uma pronúncia um pouco estranha. Na verdade, completamente diferente da pronúncia portuguesa continental, que devia ser o modelo a seguir nesta situação. Todas as vogais foram acentuadas (como no português do Brasil), e o sotaque inglês é bastante forte. Na verdade dá a impressão de que é descendente de algum emigrante e que não está em contacto com a língua. Peço desculpa, mas como português orgulhoso da sua língua, não me parece que o sujeito escolhido fosse a melhor opção para representar a nossa língua nesta situação.

[@fabiozatara]

O português do rapaz tampouco está alinhado à pronúncia brasileira, apesar das vogais abertas como as que falamos. Eu como brasileiro percebi de imediato que ele não era brasileiro, nem português. Por um momento pensei que ele pudesse ser um indiano lusófono, de Goa ou algo assim.

That Portuguese accent is very similar to Spanish. He pronounces the rolled 'R' and the vowels the same (or almost the same) way we do in Spanish. That Portuguese accent is neither from Portugal nor from Brazil.

[@dibujodecroquis1684]

@@nbkw2ae Good. In Portuguese villages the 'R' is rolled. But it's better to learn the unrolled 'R'. Try to pronounce it as a Spanish "J", it's somewhat similar (at least it works for the Brazilian accent).
