The Ronaldo photo was certainly a joke from his part. He is very knowledgeable and likes to put some humour in his videos. But i do agree that this type of joke is not accessible to most people that do not know football or the Portuguese culture (certainly not limited to Portugal in any way: Brasil, Angola, Cabo Verde, etc etc). As a Portuguese i am happy and proud to see completely different people and culture expressing themselves in completely different/unique manners and all the while sharing a common future. Of course brothers will always have their differences, rivalries (love and hate) and even jokes but that only shows that the family is not dead. At this time Portuguese is no longer our Label property (for a long time now even), but we still have Portuguese of Portugal 😊 We Portuguese of Portugal have a similar relation with Spain (Iberia) to the one a mentioned before and i have no doubt that Brasil (and anybody else in its own manner) has a similar relation to all the other south american countries. Shared history is shared bonds.

Hey, i am brazilian researcher and i thought it was important to add a comment: Actually, the amazon's deforestation isn't related to any needs of providing more food for Brazil's future generations coming. Most of the food available on local markets we shop here are from much smaller sized and familiar managed agricultural business and communities. In general, Amazon deforestation happens so big farmers which own most of the agricultural land in Brazil can profit way more by using our land to enrich basically only themselves, mostly selling commodities internationally. These groups act pretty much like a mafia do: they are organized and resourcefull, having great influence on our political system and are also heavily militarized.

[@rodrigosbardelini5655]

Loved your video girl ❤ As a Brazilian it makes me happy knowing that people abroad are learning more about us ❤

[@reinerstitties]

8:30 regarding the racial pie graph, I think it’s important to point out that Brazil’s racial demographics (as said in the video) are decided on self identification, and there’s still a lot of anti-black sentiment in Brazil (which leads a lot of Brazilians to whiten themselves, on official records anyway). So, a lot of those “pardo” people are actually just black and a lot of “white” people are pardo (mixed race). Also, the 0,5 indigenous population is true but not really. For you to identify as indigenous in Brazil you have to be culturally indigenous, but due to colonialism most Brazilians are far removed from their indigenous ancestry. In the northern states plus some of the more western states of the northeast and the state of Mato Grosso you get tons of people who are obviously of predominantly indigenous descent (in terms of blood) but cannot identify as indigenous officially.

[@WilliamSantos-cv8rr]

That is partially true. Because there no totally isolated population in the world everyone is mixed, but regarding the black community even the ones that regard themselves as black are extremely mixed. So in the same news telling about the average "white" Brazilian having 20% ad mixture from other ethnicities they tell that in average the ones that call themselves blacks have an average of 50% of other ethnicities. To conclude, basically Brazil has a huge population of pardos.

[@AlexPenna55]

@@WilliamSantos-cv8rr thats the thing, there isn't such thing as "pardo" in US or Europe, you're either black or white because isn't about a color gradient, rather from your origin. The average brazilian calls himself pardo because he thinks he is too white to be black, but he is definitely black to foreign people from western countries, specially USA

[@reinerstitties]

@@AlexPenna55 exactly. these pardos would be black literally anywhere else, look at neymar for example.

[@VeteranVandal]

I personally think racial selfidentification isn't a problem and is better than an external actor doing it, specially if it could be used for nefarious purposes, besides, judging if someone belongs to a culture instead sounds super complex to me. I'd rather have selfidentification be used for inclusive policies, tho I can see approaches involving class instead as easier to do, socially, ending up correcting very very slowly some past injustices in much the same manner in a longer time. What would they do instead? DNA test everyone and saying percentages (if that's at all possible, which I think is only a rough approximation)? I don't know of any government doing such a thing and I think if they did it could lead to terrible results too - since some have past or present involving ethnic genocide, specially some current European far right governments, but not limited to that continent. I think the "black" (or immigrant) and "white" (or native) separation in encouraged elsewhere as a political tool to separate people of the same social classes outside of Brazil, generally speaking, since most governments just act as corporate representatives instead of voter representatives, they have to distract and divide people using things they can't change about themselves, like ancestry, instead of presenting progress which usually ends up costing corporations money since equality can only be achieved by effectively chopping some wealth back to people in poverty (by not letting inequality happen, in other words), no matter what system is used. Corporations would rather fund racist and antiracist sentiments so their taxes don't go up and their profits down. In this way, you keep accusing your neighbor of problems that were generated by the economic system instead, taking the eyes of the general population off of the ball.

[@dsheep9937]

@@reinerstitties Tem pardos que parece muito mais brancos do que negros, enquanto existe alguns como o Neymar que podem transitar entre ambos, mas são considerados negros na Europa.

​@@offsdexter2 similarly separating eurasia into europe and asia is arbitrary. You could also group africa with asia without any problem. Suez connects asia and africa in the same way that panama connects north and south america.

As a brazilian I need to correct something. When he said that the deforestation is something related to population growth and there is no solution for this problem, he was mistaken. Brazil is a country that supports his economy on exportation of goods from mining and cattle raising, so Amazon Forest is being deforested due to illegal rich people related to these kinds of activities. The thing is: we have plenty of land and the destruction is not even for brazilian people take something good from it, because this production is only for exportation.

Cause it's a very political biased book that even the author himself has years later admited that he himself would not read it again cause when he wrote he didn't have enough knowledge about politics and economy for the analyses he aimed to do. Basically it's analyzes latin america underdevelopment just as a product of exploration from Europe and USA, without deepen in the numerous wrong choices that the local states made through history, in order to advocate for a political line of government around here.

There's this documentary, called "First Contact: Lost Tribe of the Amazon" from 2016 that has interesting images and stories about uncontacted tribes. I remember two major points from it: -A previously uncontacted tribe, that was hanging by a thread, and was then contacted by the agents and reporters, and taken care of. I believe there might be controversy around this, since contact is complicated, you could argue that you must rescue a tribe in need or that a zero contact policy is necessary to protect them and their culture. Most people will dislike at least one or another thing about the how the agents proceeded, but come on, they have empathy and are human, and so is the tribe. Anyway, I remember that the agent speaks their language or one close enough to it, and they tell a few stories, focusing on the events that almost lead to their disappearance. -Images from an actual uncontacted warrior tribe, which I found very interesting. Also, if anyone's interested, the Tupi language from the brazilian tribes (maybe the ones from the coast?) can be quite interesting and beautiful, despite somewhat simple. And, a LOT of places, plants and animals in Brazil are named with the language, while even brazilians completely forget about that.

wow, não sabia que já tinhas estado em Portugal!! Por que cidades estiveste? e em relação à língua, escolheste a língua por alguma razão especial ou só porque sim?

[@malubaccin2489]

Great video, but just so you know, the Amazonas florest been deforested has nothing to do with us needing more space to plant stuff. Brazil is the country that most export meet, beans, grains... food in general, so no, we don't need more space to plant, that is fully illegal deforestation

[@GabrielFerCav]

In brazilian portugues some of the original portuguese words are curse words somehow, and it's completely random Some examples: Queue / Bicha (pt) -> bicha means fa***t in pt-br, we use fila instead Bread / Cacete (pt) -> cacete is one of the (many) words used to say penis in pt-br, we use pão instead Girl / Rapariga (pt) -> rapariga is commonly used as whore in pt-br, we use garota instead And there are many more lol It's almost like pt-br is meant to be a parody of the original

[@TheGabrielPT]

Não sei pq se continua a espalhar esse mito da "bicha", nós dizemos "fila". E usamos "pão" também, obviamente, "cacete" é um tipo de pão.

Hey! At around 11:15 you talk about the ham and cheese sandwich, and that in most of Spain it is called "Mixto". Here in Brazil we call it "Misto" :D Also, "HiNative" is a great app for asking specific question to native speakers of many languages :) May help you sometime

Brazil is very mixed. I have many Asian friends, natural redhead friends, afrodescendant from Angola among others. I am a native American from the northeastern tribes on my mother's side and I have characteristics of them, but on my father's side my cousins ​​are blonde of German descent, in addition to being married to a Portuguese/Moroccan woman that I met who spent her holidays here all the time

[@martinpalleiro8135]

Only one thing to mention. In the intro the video mentions Ronaldo, as part of Brazil's known topics, but that Ronaldo is from Portugal., However, there is a very famouse Ronaldo from Brazil, a legend really, and perhaps even more famous, Ronaldinho

[@fyportes]

In fact, we have two Ronaldos... Ronaldo Fenômeno and Ronaldinho Gaúcho. Both better than CR7.

Bolacha e biscoito são coisas diferentes. Biscoito é só a massa assada. Bolacha é biscoito + recheio + biscoito, ou seja, um biscoito recheado. Tanto que no pacote de bolacha literalmente tá escrito: Biscoito Recheado.

Here in Sao paulo we differentiate between "biscoito" e "bolacha", if it has a filling then is a "Bolacha" if it doesn't is a "biscoito", in Rio they don't differentiate, the same thing with cake, in Sao Paulo we call "bolo" the regular cake you will find and call a pie "torta", but in Rio they call everything "torta".

The second most popular sport in Brazil is Volleyball. We have many olympic medals (men, women, indoor, beach)

[@sergiowaltrick3245]

O Ronaldo colocado no começo do vídeo é de Portugal. A musica do começo do vídeo é quase toda errada, apenas o futebol é extremamente popular no país todo, macacacos samba carnaval e capoeira são culturas de apenas algumas partes do Brasil (na região sul onde moro, nenhuma dessas coisas é popular) Na realidade a cultura do Brasil muda bruscamente de uma região para outra.

American ex-pat, 40 years living in Japan here, but a great find about Brazil, a country I will probably not have a chance to visit. It is a crime he didn't talk about the music of Brazil. A jazz fan for about 50 years, I would argue that the musical culture of Brazil is possibly more varied and rich than the U.S. counterpart. At least its equal.

[@brunodelisboa2807]

The way you try tô spell the Brazilian words are magical!

[@LisboaWillian]

I loved how much attention you paid to the content. How do you try to read and speak the words in Portuguese. I really like your channel, it has excellent content and I really enjoyed seeing an outside look at my beloved Brazil. And how have you never seen UP? shame hahahaha. The writer of the book City of God is Paulo Lins. If I can recommend two more authors, one classic and one excellent: Guimarães Rosa and his classic Grande Sertão Veredas and the other is Ariano Suassuna and his comedy O Alto da Compadecida. Both have their movies too.

something to clear up, Rio de Janeiro is pronounced more closely to the “wrong” example he gave, by most people in Brazil. Brazil is giant, and with it comes multiple accents. While cariocas (people born in Rio, me included) speak Rio de Janeiro as Rio “g” Janeiro, most of Brazil speaks “de” (similar to “the”). This happens because us cariocas modify the “de” for “di” and we pronounce “di” as “g”. And definitely no one speaks Rio grande “djo” sul though. This effect of “g” sound only happens on “di”

[@jubalasso]

Just for the curiosity: we have more examples like the cookie, like tangerine: this one can be called "tangerina" (I know, it's close enough to presume it is what it is), "bergamota" and even "pokán" (think they could have another ways to say it thou).
