European Portuguese vs Brazilian Portuguese GRAMMAR explained!

Thank you for the video ❤️

[@rayvogensen2983]

I am kind of a grammar freak, paying attention to how people use language, and what was hard for me in Portugal (after coming from Brazil) was the placement of the object pronoun after the verb (vi-te or dei-lho). I think Brazilian Portuguese has simplified the language (like American English in some ways). Carol gave the example of "eu te amo e quero te ver" but I think that is the language of an educated speaker preoccupied with speaking correctly. While "eu te amo" is often used I think that "quero ver você" is more often used.

[@gustavos8571]

I took a look at your website, and I understood you make money by telling foreigners that if they want to go to Portugal, it is useless to learn Brazilian Portuguese... The different accent can really be a challenge, and I do believe you can help them with that. But you can't go as far as telling them that the grammar is different... That is just dishonest and you are harming the language you say you love so much...

Actually both countries use "a gente" and "nós ". In Brazil, we use "nós " not as much as we use "a gente", but both forms are interchangeble. In Portugal, "a gente" is a little less used, but I will not consider that this is a big difference between Brazil and Portugal. Also, several regions in Brazil prefer "tu" instead of "você " (maybe less than 30-35%). Sometimes informaly saying "tu" and conjugating as "você ".

Thanks for the video! However... : - A lot of Brazilians use "tu". It depends which area of Brazil you're from. But "tu" is often used with the wrong verb conjugation, when used within an informal context. I don't know how many would agree or disagree that this is acceptable though :D - We DO use "nós vamos"! This is completely normal! Yes, we use "a gente" all the time, but it's informal. - "Eu vi ele" / "eu vi ela" is grammatically wrong (in Brazil too). We use that a lot in Brazil, but whenever I say it, I know I am making a grammar mistake and I wish I hadn't said it :D the correct way is: "eu o vi" / "eu a vi". Overall, I guess you should specify in this video that this is a more informal way of speaking in Brazil. We spend a loooong time in school studying grammar, verb conjugations, etc etc etc!

I come from Pernambuco, in northeast Brazil. We tend to use "tu" here, although sometimes people conjugate the following verb as if they had used "você" instead. Another fun quirk from my state's dialect is that we often say "[tu] Queres?" with the hidden tu, like the Portuguese, instead of "você quer?"

"A gente" is just colloquial and its used in Brazil and Portugal but everybody knows that the correct is to use "nós" and its commonly used everywhere. In general what you are explaining are differences in the use of the grammar, they are not differences in grammar since Portuguese as only one grammar.

[@kassiogomes8498]

It's colloquial but it's used very very very frequently in Brazil, much more than in Portugal, actually if you say "a gente" in important conversations, like a job interview, nobody is going to find weird or complain about it.

Além disso, no Brasil, o registro formal usa "o/a senhor/a" como forma de tratamento já que o "você" não tem mais essa função. O processo de mudança de formalidade do "você" no interior de São Paulo parece ser muito antigo já que ainda existem pessoas mais velhas (normalmente analfabetos) que retém a pronúncia "vóis missê" como pronome padrão de segunda pessoa em todos os contextos, o que aponta para a queda da formalidade no Brasil antes mesmo da transmutação de "vossa mercê" acontecer inteiramente em "você".

Todas as diferenças referidas não são absolutas, são de frequência e não de uso absoluto e têm muitas exceções em muitas circunstâncias. Por outro lado variam muito de região para região. Tirando uma média em TODO o Brasil podemos dizer que o TU é bem mais usado do que em Portugal, embora a maior parte das vezes mal conjugado. Por exemplo, uma vez escrevi a uma americana "fico aguardando a sua resposta" e ela estava convencida de que isto era uma expressão de português do Brasil, que eu estava influenciado por viver no Brasil. Por mais que eu a convencesse de que era português de Portugal puro, ela não queria acreditar porque "decorou essas explicações muitíssimo reduzidas". Isso é muito perigoso. A única maneira de a convencer foi ir a um repositório de correspondência na internet de grandes autores portugueses e colocar as expressões "fico a aguardar" e "fico aguardando". A primeira teve 0 saídas e a segunda dezenas. Há coisas que as gramáticas não ensinam e só um nativo sente. Se eu disser "fico a aguardar" dá uma certa sensação de impaciência ou controle, que eu estou batendo com o pé à espera de que as coisas se façam. No entanto se eu disser "fico aguardando" eu deixo as coisas completamente nas mãos do outro enquanto mostro o meu interesse e respeito.

Acredito que quem estiver aprendendo a falar português, precisa só aprender a se comunicar, não precisa se apegar a detalhes tão pequenos. OBS.: sou brasileiro.

[@Brunosbeto]

O "tu" é muito usado no Brasil, o que contraria o que muitos portugueses dizem do uso que os brasileiros fazem da segunda pessoa do singular. O caso é que nós, brasileiros, usamos "tu" quando nos referimos a alguém que nos é íntimo (irmão, primo, amigo) e "você" usamos quando nos referimos a alguém que não nos é íntimo ou ainda para enfatizar o respeito que temos a alguém (neste caso, pai, mãe, namorado[a], esposo[a]). Sendo assim, o uso do pronome "tu" divide espaço com o pronome "você". Já em Portugal, o pronome "tu" parece ser bem mais recorrente.

[@Brunosbeto]

O pronome "tu" em terceira pessoa, no Brasil, não é simplesmente "mal conjugado". O português do Brasil caminhou de forma mais lenta que o português europeu. O Brasil ainda carrega em sua cultura uma forte influência da antiga monarquia portuguesa. O próprio pronome "você", tão difundido no Brasil, é derivado da expressão "a vossa mercê", a qual se usava para se dirigir aos reis. É muito comum no Brasil se dirigir a autoridades usando a conjugação em terceira pessoa. No Brasil, o pronome "tu" parece ter recebido tal conjugação por causa dessa cultura da reverência, característica dos reinos antigos. Isso está encrustado na alma dos brasileiros. É muito mais uma questão cultural do que meramente gramatical.

[@diogorodrigues747]

In some aspects, European Portuguese is more conservative in grammar. - Unlike in Brazilian Portuguese, European Portuguese put the pronouns after the verbs. That's actually a very ancient thing, because in Galician they do the same and in Old Portuguese that also happen. This is actually interesting because the cult language in the 15th century, mostly spoken by catholic missionaries, used the pronouns before the verbs was a thing called a latinism, a syntax feature borrowed from Latin. In Portugal however, there were a huge "purification" in the 18th century and this ancient form came back. That didn't happen in Brazilian Portuguese. - European Portuguese also has another feature: they use the infinitive form instead of the gerund. Like the first feature I mentioned, this case was borrowed from Latin because, in the so-called Western Romance the gerund form was lost and Latin was a very cult language in the 15th century. However, unlike in Castille or Catalonia, where the gerund started to be the only used form, in Portugal that was not the case. In Northern and Central Portugal, the infinitive form continued to be used and the opposite happened from Lisbon to the south and in the colonies. In Lisbon, the infinitive form came back in the 19th century, with the huge migration of Galician people (Galicia was also a region where the infinitive form was the only used form). Interestingly, Galicians had a huge role on re-introducing this ancient form in the cult Portuguese but nowadays the infinitive form in Galicia is lesser and lesser used under the influence of Castillian Spanish. European Portuguese also preserves some ancient vocabulary. - In Old Portuguese, "gozar" meaned the same that in today's European Portuguese and Galician. However, in Brazil nowadays it means having an orgasm. - Another word is "portagem". This is a word that appears in formal letters from the 13th century, but nowadays Brazilians use "pedágio", which is a French loanword - it comes from the French "péage". - Brazilians use a lot the expression "Que lástima" and the verb "lastimar". These Spanish-cognate expressions exist in European Portuguese but they aren't used that much - here we would rather say "Que pena", "Que mágoa" and the verb used would be "lamentar". - Brazilians also use a lot the word "sussurro". In Portugal "sussurro" also exists, but we use more the word "murmúrio", which is actually more archaic - "sussurro" is a loanword borrowed from Spanish.

Aprendemos na escola a conjugar as pessoas do discurso da seguinte maneira: 1° pessoa do singular: Eu 2° pessoa do singular: Tu 3° pessoa do singular:Ele/Ela 1° pessoa do plural: Nós 2° pessoa do.plural: Vós 3° pessoa do plural: Eles/ Elas Atualmente no Brasil, não usamos mais as conjugações Tu e Vós, elas entraram em desuso aqui no BR, e substituímos para a fala informal e coloquial o Tu para "você". Mas, pessoas mais velhas podem reproduzir o TU, mas o Vós é mais utilizado em locais formais como as igrejas. E a conjugação correta da 1° pessoa do plural não é "a gente " e sim "nós" igual os portugueses. Usamos "a gente" em uma conversa informal e coloquial, igual usamos "você" nós lugar de TU. Mas em algo formal, a forma correta a ser utilizada é "nós", e não "a gente".

[@Αντώνης-υ3ζ]

Just to note something that's not really the topic here: we'd say "queres ir à festa?", as "para a" transmits a somewhat limited time period, whereas "à" gives the idea of a more extended period of time. I actually use more "a gente" than "nós". Maybe that's an Azorean thing to say (I'm from there)...?! Also, in the Azores and in other regions of Portugal, we do use the gerund. As for Brazilian Portuguese, the norm is like that of Portugal, although don't really talk like that, as we all know. Love your channel! Are you Portuguese in any way? Family-wise or something?

[@alexgray1905]

It seems to me that European Portuguese follows the other Latin languages grammar rules while the Brazilian Portuguese has drifted from basic Latin. I speak two other Latin languages and both have classical conjugations, use all six pronouns and have the "you" for informal and the plural version for formal. Is it just me?

[@justames5979]

Not entirely the case. The use of pronouns like "tu"and "nós" is less in Brazil, but they still appear. "A gente" and "nós" are used pretty much interchangably and "tu" is used in some regions. Also the present continuous form is preserved from Old Portuguese in Brazil, while it has actually changed in Portugal, resembling an innovation that has also happened in some dialects in Italy. As well with direct object pronouns, the Brazilian variaty still keeps them always before the verb, like in the other Romance languages

[@paulomanuelsendimairespere3901]

Unfortunately, it is much worst than that. Some people use only one or two verbal forms of person only and do not agree in gender or number with articles, nouns, and adjectives. It is just a degeneration driven by ignorance caused intentionally.

[@B-R-A-Z-I-L]

You are *WRONG* , in Spanish there is also the same difference as in Portuguese with the use of *vos* and *tu* and also in the use of gerund.

[@AnarchoPinkoEuroBr]

The formal you in both Brazil and Portugal is o senhor and a senhora used as if they were pronouns. One should typically not use você in Portugal, it is distancing and equalizing.

[@skurinski]

Yes its true. Brazilian is simplified portuguese

[@LucasKR]

I am so happy to see channels to learn Portuguese and in special European Portuguese. For sure we have grammar differences but most of the times, grammar in Brazilian Portuguese just add something "extra" if compared to European Portuguese. Most of the differences you point out, actually is a more colloquial Portuguese present in TV, Movies and usually spoken on big cities, mainly Rio and Sao Paulo. However, Brazil being a big country that varies a lot, I would like to give some examples. 1. The use of Você x Tu : Many regions in Brazil the pronoun Tu still being used. Certain regions will conjugate as third person, however some regions and states in northeast, north and south, the proper conjugation of Tu still used. We have as example, Maranhão, that is believed to have "the most correct Portuguese" in Brazil. Also, to point out that a lot people thinks that Você is a pronome pessoal in Brazil, though being the most word to express you mainly in southeast, the Academia Brasileira de Letras, considers itas a pronome de tratamento. Even in school, brazlians when learning grammar and conjugation Tu is always taught as the second person of singular. Also, regardless the region, the second person "variants" still widely used such as te, contigo and even imperative forms are used as well; 2. A gente x Nós: A similar case of the previous one. But to use Nós still widely spoken in Brazil; 3. The pronouns ahead and at the end of the verb actually in Brazilian is totally fine its use in the end of the verb and also being grammatically correct and following the same rules of European Portuguese in regard of its use with the "magnet words". The only exception that Brazilian Portuguese also accepts the use ahead of the verb as well; 4. The use of Gerund, in Brazil with no question is the most used for continuous tense but the use of a + infinitive is totally comprehensible as well. The similar use of Gerund can also be found in Portugal, mainly in the Alentejo, Argarve, Açores and Madeira; 5. In the case of "I saw him", "eu vi ele" in Brazilian Portuguese, is considered "wrong" grammar-wise. "Eu o vi" or "Eu vi-o"(Even not used much nowadays) still being the most acceptable. In my opnion the difference between Brazilian Portuguese andEuropean Portuguese is somehow something between the difference American English and British English and Quebecoise French and Metropolitan French. Also to point out that the two variants of the same language, have been developed apart since the last century, being both "Portugueses" very similar in the beginning of the 20th century. I think one of the main causes, it was an attempt of Brazilian Government during the 30s to create a national identity to Brazil the was good in a way, but at same time tried to decouple any relation with Portugal. Fortunately, these days is even more common to see Brazilians watching content from Portuguese youtubers. Anyways, thank you for the video and we Portuguese speakers, we are very happy to see someone sharing the love by our language through education. We really do appreciate it. Muito obrigado Professora!

[@lxportugal9343]

And I have nothing more to say :):):):):)

[@miminkotube]

The Brazilian goverment has done barely nothing if anything at all to diverge BP from EP, both have been developing apart since the invasion of Pindorama as it's a natural process, it accentuated in the 20th century because the Portuguese Goverment created the Orthographic Reform of 1911 while BP started being influenced by Italians, Japanese, Arabs, Germans and American media, the main reason Brazilian and European Portuguese haven't diverged more is because the ABL is extremely eurocentric (as it was created to emulate the French Academy which is infamously conservative and prescriptivist) and keeps proposing orthographic agreements to "unite" both dialects while still refusing to adapt the "norma culta" so it can actually reflect the national vernacular.

[@LucasKR]

@@miminkotube Ok, first of all I said it was one of the reasons, for sure there were many features that contributed with that, as you pointed out factors like immigration and etc. However, saying that Brazilian government has done barely nothing is not accurate, and as I mentioned that had positive and negative impacts. In the 30s Brazil is in the beginning of Era Vargas, period when was created a "national identity" and the appreciation of what is Brazilian from literature, culture, even creation of new "national heroes", whereas the government was looking for a Brazilian identity far from the old continent. So when I said 'decouple" it was not in the meaning of relationship, trade or even in the grammar standard but a cultural decouple. This was good in way because in Brazil started to be appreciate the national, we had great achievements in the literature, however is undeniable that affected not only the relation with Portugal but with other lusophone countries.

[@LuisKolodin]

no matter Brazilian or European Portuguese, the subject may be hidden. it doesn't matter if in Brazili we usually say the subject often... our language works this way: every subject may be hidden, if we desire to. "sujeito oculto/elíptico". we can guess the subject by the conjugation (what doesn't happen in English, that's why in Ensligh the subject is obligatory most of the time). it's quite normal in Brazil to say "Quer ir na festa?" without the subject also. quite optional. (yeah, we say NA instead of À). regarding A GENTE/VOCÊ in Brazil it is really easier because it simplifies conjugation forms. but unexpectedly we can use 'NÓS'. I myself cannot tell exactly when this happens... but we usually say 'VAMOS!!!', for "let's go". so... as it is easier, as we mixture NÓS with A GENTE, I think it gets even more confusing. and it varies according to regionalities. and we do have próclise and mesóclise! the thing is we normally use próclise while talking. but in fact we should know how to write them down properply, in formal language. that said, I find properly CORRECT to say "Eu vi ele". I never found any reason to find it "wrong", just prejudices. Ok, we could say "Eu o vi", but this is not talking languagem, this is formal written language.

[@WandersonMSilva]

In the part "I saw him" we brazilians use the sentence: "eu o vi" as well, but it's kinda uncommon. More usual for formal writings. The most common form in day by day talkings is: "eu vi ele".

[@antoniorodrigues1345]

In Brazil we use (nós vamos and a gente vai)interchangeble,though we also use (vocês vão,and você vai) the same way.it depends on which people you're speaking to.(a gente is the informal way as nós vamos is more formal. Feel free using them your way.

[@tadaharuyoshida3038]

I'm Brazilian, and all these words that Leo spoke exist in Brazilian Portuguese, however, we don't usually use them in Brazil. "Estou a trabalhar", for example, we never say, but that's because, for us, it's an extremely formal way of saying "Estou trabalhando". The language is the same, whoever learns a variation of Portuguese, regardless of what it is, will be able to communicate with Brazilians, Angolans, Portuguese, with anyone who has Portuguese as their native language.

Nós vamos / A gente vai = Here in Brazil, both ways are correct. It may vary on the region, but where i live (Countryside of São Paulo), "Nós vamos" its more formal, and "A gente vai" is colloquial. Amo-te / Te amo = "Amo-te" is gramatically recognised, but we dont used it anymore (Both in formal or colloquial speaking)... So for us Brazilians, its considered an arcaic form of Porguese.

In european Portuguese we also have the equivalent to "você". Some old people still use the word "vossemecê" and the third person of the verb. It is, however, not at all the familiar "tu". Instead, it is much closer to a very formal "your excellency". It is actually close to the expression "vossa mercê". In the end that's where the short word "você" came from. Did I add some extra complication to this subject?

Quanto ao "eu vi ele", isso é usado na linguagem oral no Brasil mas é considerado errado, e não é aceito na linguagem formal no Brasil.

No entanto, podemos perceber diferenças específicas bem grandes como Juiz de Fora que tem um sotaque parecido com o carioca e aqui no Norte de minas a cidade onde moro que é Montes Claros, que é uma cidade que pode ser considerada grande, possui o seu próprio sotaque enquanto que as cidades menores do interior cada uma tem o seu próprio sotaque, e conforme vamos mais no sentido da Bahia o sotaque também vai se alterando.

I had a lot of contact in Brazil (Goiás) with what we can call "português caipira" and there is a whole different dialect from the standard. Examples are: "cunzinha" instead of "cozinza", "galfo" instead of "garfo", "veve" instead of "vive", "os homen" instead of "os homens" etc. In verb conjugations it is common to hear "nós vai" and "eles foi". Most of these "mistakes" can be attributed to isolation and poor access to education. While in Portugal the "mistakes" are not so apparent (a much smaller, homogenous country with better access to education) one I hear every day here in the North is "nós cheguemos" instead of "nós chegamos" or "nós compremos" instead of "nós compramos". Another common one is "tu tivesteis" instead of tú tiveste, using the vós form to make the ending of the verb.

In Brazilian Portuguese, the nós conjugation is EXTREMELY common, especially when we take out the 's' at the end, then it's very common even in absolutely informal situations, in that case the nós is dropped, like 'fomo pro parque' . Some people mix a gente with the conjugation of nós, like in 'a gente vamos' 😖, the opposite is also true, like 'nó(i)s vai'. So the situation in Brazil is a lot more nuanced and complicated.
