The differences and the overall tension between both dialects reminds me A LOT of the difference between the French varieties spoken in Quebec and France. French people say that people from Quebec speak "wrong French" or are "incomprehensible", but most of the time, Frenchies don't even try to understand, or only say those things to feel superior. It kinda sucks, especially since languages exist to unite people, and not divide them. Oh also, I wonder if, like for French in Quebec, Brazilian Portuguese is actually a "lack" of evolution, which would make it closer to "real" Portuguese (it was a colony for a long time, after all, so it would make sense). Great video, as always, I learned a lot! :)

[@MrKegg]

@DelRubenSito There are many differences, but I don't think it's enough to make a whole video out of it. But he could do a video about "obscure" varieties of Spanish, like hispanic minorities in a non-hispanic country, if they have a particular accent/vocabulary.

[@wilssantos2]

@@MrKegg Yes, there are many evidences pointing towards the same history as Quebequois French. There are many poems by Luís de Camões, written in the 16th century, that only rhyme if read in Brazilian Portuguese, because of how the vowels are dropped in the European form. I wouldn't say it's a total "lack" of evolution, though, but that's it evolved in a way that is more similar to what it used to be.

[@salmerongarridomaria1069]

Being mexican, I couldn't understand anything of what the portuguese person was saying, but a lot of what the Brazilian said.

[@ericklucasmenezesdelima570]

Yea, the hole difference is that portugal and the other colonies got a lot of french influence while Brazil stayed like a close brother to spanish :D Edit1: A lot of people have corrected me on this down in the comments and I want to clarify what I found out with more research: The french/english influence in PT-PT didn't play as big of a role as I thought, although that influence did take place, the evidence points that the majority of the languages evolution occured natively. So, Portugal's and africa's vowel reduction evolved by themselves, it's not as black and white as just "french influence", sorry if I misguided someone ;)

As an English person who has learnt several Romance languages, including French, Spanish and Italian the Brazilian Portuguese way of constructing the present continuous (i.e. Estar + gerund) is consistent with many other Romance languages. The Portugal Portuguese construction of Estar + a + infinitive was a real shock to me when I saw it in this video.

[@luizzrosette]

Once I heard people from Portugal saying they study the gerund in schools and some regions of Portugal use them

[@cosafresco]

@Gwynbleidd interesting. Clearly the Portuguese from Portugal has undergone influence from other languages, such as potentially celtic languages as mentioned by J. Smith above since the language was brought to Brazil. It’s very interesting indeed. I have a great difficulty understanding Portuguese in general, notably because I’ve never studied the language but also because it’s pronunciation differs wildly from other Romance languages. However, I find Brazilian Portuguese easier to discern where one word ends and the next begins, because it sounds more “sing-songy” compared to Portugal Portuguese where syllables tend to collide more with one another.

[@cosafresco]

@J. Smith this is really interesting. Whilst I’m not at all knowledgeable about Celtic languages and their spread it kind of makes sense to me that they may have been Celtic influences on Portuguese given it’s “coastal” (I know not all of it is coastal) location and it’s proximity to the north of Spain where Basque exists and shares certain similarities with Welsh and other Celtic languages.

[@cosafresco]

@J. Smith Oh my apologies. That is even more interesting. I had no idea that Portuguese had so many Celtic words. I would certainly have guessed French. Thanks for the very interesting information.

European Portuguese sounds even much more harder to understand while being spoken than French.

[@sudi_cloud]

Désolée, but I couldn't agree less. I am Brazilian and I do say "há leite". This is a stereotype. It is a misconception to assume that Brazilians never use the impersonal verb "haver" and only use "ter", therefore, it is not correct to generalize that "if you say "há" something, [...] we will know you're not Brazilian," as stated in the comment that initiated this thread. I might say, hypothetically, though, that it may be possible that people with a below-average level of common knowledge of Portuguese will NEVER use "haver", instead of "ter", the former being standard Portuguese language. This may be, hypothetically, a reflection of the educational quality in Brazil. It is no secret the problems Brazilians - especially and unfortunately, the poor - face regarding the quality and access to education. According to UNESCO, "Quality and equity remain a crucial challenge in Brazil." Thus, some Brazilians MAY not know the standard language norm "haver" - because, unfortunately, they did not have access to such information - that "ter" is not an impersonal verb, therefore should not be used in place of "haver", particularly in writing, but only in colloquial communication. But, as a teacher, I would never underestimate my students, and I would teach them to use "haver" - standard language - as well, "ter", because learning both will better prepare them to communicate with people from all walks of life. I want to make clear, though, that the use of "haver", or any other standard language norm, does not imply, neither, a socially ideal idiom nor a culturally superior form of speech. Teaching standard language in schools is not intended to condemn or eliminate the colloquial language spoken with our family or community.

As a native Spanish speaker who has studied Brazilian Portuguese for 4 years, I can clearly say that European Portuguese is way more difficult to understand. I have been to Portugal before, and I had to study the accent beforehand to ensure I could understand it. Vowel suppression, the "sh" sound of the "s", and the particular sound form of the combination of "ei" in European Portuguese are probably the biggest challenges for a Brazilian Portuguese student to understand. Nonetheless, I see both accents' value and have taught myself to use both. I will be sticking with Brazilian Portuguese, though. My girlfriend is Brazilian so I have more incentives to use it more often. Lol.

[@pauloguerreiro9113]

@Mariana Please, let me correct you. What you call a dialect is, in fact, a regional variety of european portuguese. In our national portuguese territory there are no dialects other than the mirandese dialect (mirandês), spoken in a small area in north-eastern Portugal. In the remaining parts of Portugal there is only european portuguese, of course with some regional varieties, but still european portuguese. As for the mirandese dialect, it comes from the ancient leonese-asturian language, a distinct origin from the european portuguese, which is, as you know, the galician-portuguese.

I'm Dutch, but I learned Portuguese from my dad, who is an immigrant from Portugal. I do get the impression that Portugese people generally understand Brazilians. I think it has to do with the fact that there is a lot of Brazilian media in Portugal. From a young age, I remember some animes aired on Portuguese tv with a Brazilian dub. Perhaps the studios wanted to save money and just thought that Portuguese people would understand it anyway. My nan also watches a lot of Brazilian telenovelas. I think this early interaction (at least partly) makes Portuguese people so familiar with BP, that they just consider it a wierd Portuguese.

I'm a Brazilian living in Lisbon. Being from northeast Brazil, my pronunciation on the "di"/"ti" sound is the same as a portuguese person's. We say "bom dia" and "boa tarde" instead of "bom djia" and "boa tardji" spoken in other regions of Brazil. I find that communicating with the portuguese is pretty easy 99% of the time. There were a couple of words I had to "learn" (ecrã being one of them) but other than that we absolutely speak the same language with some variation in vocabulary and grammar.

By the way, I also notice that both American variants of Portuguese and French (and northern oïl dialects in France) have a prononciation change concerning the -ti and -di sounds, as you said it in your video about the differences between Quebec and France French : Lundi (Academic French) - Lundzi (Quebec French) - Lundji (Northern French and Picard) Tirage (AF) - Tsirage (QF) - Tchirage (NF&P)

I think some time in the past, probably the 18th century, the Portuguese nobility started to adopt some French pronounciation rules to sound fancier

@Nathan Bastos Not really. Apart from the R pronunciation, what makes you think that? Even considering that, Rio has only one of the two french pronunciations of the R, while Portugal has both.

[@AlefeLucas]

@@diogodavid3557 that's a myth, it's also a myth that the accent from Rio is shaped by the Portuguese crown and with it the French language.

Many people don't know it but Portugal has a long historical French connection.

As a Francophone Canadian, when I visited Brazil in 2003, I was struck by the similarity of sounds between Portuguese (Brazilian) and Québec French, particularly in nasalized vowels and some consonants like those you point out. A few sentences were so similar, I could understand them! I've always wondered if there's a reason for that, like the way certain sounds were pronounced in the 1600s and 1700s.

I’m from portugal and I can understand PT-BR for the most part as I was exposed to it on tv from an early age. But I still get thrown off by some idiomatic expressions sometimes. Apart from that I feel that brazilian people usually struggle to understand me at first, especially some vocabulary, some of which you actually mentioned. A brazilian friend of mine always cracks up at how casually I call regular, every day girls “raparigas” 😄

[@raidcrhonos]

Where I live, if you call someone, that you are not close with, "rapariga" you probably gonna get a beating or at least gonna hear a lot of angry remarks

[@TheZenytram]

The funny thing is i only find out rapariga means whore in brazil on the internet. Eu sou brasileiro 😬

[@guitaristssuck8979]

Portugueses and Brazilian must fight a lot because of this kind of misunderstanding.

[@sohopedeco]

@@TheZenytram It is not really such a widespread word for prostitute anymore. I think it was an euphemism that caught a bad rep.

[@thaiscgirao]

Eu sempre acho engraçado quando um português fala rapariga, realmente é difícil de acostumar 😅
