Portuguese language gaining popularity in Macao as city sharpens bilingual edge

[@megatonhammer4723]

Sou Chinese do Sul leste Ásia! Já aprendendo Português desde 2006/7 mas não é fluente ainda. Essa notícia é uma coisa boa!

Portugal wants to boost trade ties with China. China is also Brazil's biggest trade partner. Then, there are a few Portuguese speaking countries in Africa which China has diplomatic relations with. There are benefits for people living in Macau to learn Portuguese.

[@abandonedfragmentofhope5415]

There’s also East Timor in Southeast Asia.

BRICS

[@Oil2024]

Very well thought out!

[@yottie1025]

And with E Timor joining ASEAN, Portuguese speaking countries and territories can be a magnet for closer ties between Asian, Europe and America...

[@abandonedfragmentofhope5415]

Africa too.

[@terror1234]

​@@abandonedfragmentofhope5415Normal than Africa too! 🖐

[@Cesar13PMW]

The Portuguese language is so awesome! ❤

[@NathanPereira-lx9yc]

I love portuguese and chinese

[@huanghermann5207]

China needs Portuguese-speaking nations!

[@ErikPT]

no they don't. HK is already good as the place for Chinese to learn English Portugese is a secondary language

[@hokhimchon5960]

Hoping this will happen in my country Philippines with the Spanish language🥰

[@AI-hx3fx]

I miss Macau so much!

[@Bb-vn8ok]

Nós Brasileiros ficariamos felizes se o povo de macau entende se portugués,seria incrivel isso,para aproximar culturas,para negócios,ja que nós brasileiros queremos comprar muitos produtos da china para revender aqui no Brasil

[@ruibelo-cv3co]

*entendesse português

[@thesmithersy]

Interesting that Macau is still embracing Portuguese yet Hong Kong gets clamped down on anything "colonial".

[@fernaodias2591]

Desde o inicio. Sec XVI China e Portugal nunca tiveram atitudes agressivas....por isso o respeito mútuo deve permanecer. Com Hong Kong Inglaterra já não foi assim...referência """ guerra do ópio ""

[@leonardos2925]

There's a huge different in the relations among the Chinese in Macau and the Portuguese, and the Chinese in Hong Kong and the British... it is not a coincidence that people from Macau are so proud of their Lusitanian cultural origins. Cheers from Brazil.

I hope they remain that way and China won't swallow them😢

Hopefully this can bring macau closer to Portugal. Um grande abraço a todos desse lado :)

[@michaelcorleone7598]

This is great

[@chema95011]

there isn't one single macanese person speaking portuguese on this video, which was the only thing i saw it for. 😠

[@dxelson]

Wow, why is CNA reporting again on Macao xDD did you set up offices here?

[@evasterenberg]

No, portuguese language isn't gaining popularity in Macao. Most of learners are maindland Chinese who go there as exchange students, it's not being learnt by locals at all.

[@pbworld7858]

Last time I went there I didn't hear a word of Portuguese. Given that Brazil is a big trading partner, do students learn European or Brazilian Portuguese? I personally prefer the Brazilian accent.

[@michaelmuller220]

Quero ir pra Macau

[@Urbxx]

Na boa, deu vontade também.

Even Egg tarts know Portuguese

One-third of Singaporeans speak Mandarin. Majority of them are from freedom-loving nation, Taiwan 🇹🇼 not China. Of those from China, most have negative impression about the authoritarian surveillance regime.

[@hatchegg80]

70% of singaporeans speak mandarin, most are third or fourth generation chinese or recent immigrants from china. there are also significant malaysian chinese in singapore who speak mandarin. hope that clears up the horsesht above.

Just shuddup, something so simple you need to politicize.

What does this have to do with the subject matter of the video?

So these bright young women are interviewing in what is apparently one of at least three languages in which they are conversant. Impressive

[@cch33tah53]

Seems some people there love to speak with the language of their past master

[@jackytang3683]

Many of students are from mainland China. Macau has rich Portugal language resources

[@Wilhelm5381]

why not?

[@jeanlundi2141]

Not very bright are we? EVERY person on Earth is speaking a language of a "past master". Americans speak english because England used to be its master.........latin european countries speak a variation of Vulgar Latin...because they were former colonies of the Roman Empire........Chinese people speak the same language because the empire expanded over the centuries...and there were those that were the masters and imposed their language on others. And for many macanese the CHINESE are now the masters. So why should they speak chinese? In your view, they are merely the new masters. Get some prespective and stop being cringe.

[@terror1234]

[@Fantom6400]

Macau is Chinese, NOT Portuguese

[@ilvxdih]

Macau was a portuguese colony that's why lots of people there speak or study portuguese

[@MarcioSilva-ssiillvvaa]

So what?

[@Pa_700]

The Portuguese and Chinese got on brilliantly...I lived there and have visited since. They're always kind to us and us to them. Love you Macau 🇲🇴 🇵🇹

[@Dns.inceptiowl]

That's only true since 1999.
