[@Afonso2001br]

In Brazilian Portuguese milênio and decênio are spelled with circumflex accent (^). In European Portuguese they are written with acute accent (‘) as it’s done in the video: decénio, milénio.

[@FannomacritaireSuomi]

European Portuguese is the direct and most natural continuation of Western Iberian Romance, along with Galician.

In Portuguese there are words from "diurnus": *jornal (newspaper): daily publication with news. *jornada (working during one day). It can also mean a long travel or a long task that takes many days. *diurno: what happens when there is sunlight.

[@brighton1138]

I don't think those words count since jornal and jornada are borrowings from old provençal and diurno is a direct borrowing from latin.

[@marciliosousa785]

@@brighton1138 , which part of "languages from the Latin" didn't you understand? Provençal (with other influences) and portuguese come from Latin. Where do you think portuguese has taken its words from? It's obvious the majority of portuguese words are "transformed" Latin words.

Decade (deca dies) truly means 10 (deca) days. So English has it wrong. 10 years should be decennial.

[@llopcuac21]

English also understands Billion diferently, on most romance languages 1.000.000.000 is one thousand million, and 1.000.000.000.000 is a billion.

[@CataVlad21]

Exactly! Decadă means 10 days in romanian as well, although many illiterate kids nowadays).

[@CataVlad21]

@@llopcuac21 yup! 1 billion is "1 miliard" in romanian. Like in german and maybe other languages, i'd expect. Bilion, if anything (if this word existed in romanian) should probably mean 2 million, not 1000 million.

This shows that there are way too many direct loanwords in modern Romance languages. I used to love studying them but the "purification of vulgarisms" killed my interest.

How comes Romanian lost initial "d" in "dzi", "dzece", "dzicere".., "Dumnedzeu"?.. Somehow added "z" then it completely REPLACED "d"... :-?

[@ubuntuposix]

Aromanian still keeps the "d" just like old Romanian. They (which are closer to Greece) have this tendency of palatalizating consonants. In Aromanian, 10 = dsatsi. Romanian also palatalinizes "ti" into "tsi", barbat / barbatsi, mort / mortsi, etc. Imo, latin Romanian is born because of the Balkan (Macedonian mostly) latin people migrating into Dacia (after it got conquered, and the Danube had a bridge).

We use also Millénium in french but less than millénaire... The biggest difference between French and the 4 other major latins languages, it is the pronounciation. It comes from the last resistance act to Roman Empire. When Caesar defeated Vercingétorix in Alesia (52 before JC), the Gauls were celtics, and the language adopted (forced) was the latin... but as usual, the non so wrong reputation of the cheaters the French have come also from there. The celtics had true problem with latin pronounciation and Gauls pronounced latin their own way... the difference was then at the origins of the roman empire expansion. Gauls became Gallo-romans with a strong pronounciation of latin labguage... Then also, when Franks (a german tribe) arrived in the french gaul part of the Roman Empire, they chose to mix and make alliance with Gallo-Romans against other Goths (other germans tribes)... The french language kept its latin base but the arrival of strong guttural R + many other frankish words, make French/Francian language truly apart compared to other latins languages. Romanian is nearer to latin than French is, and by far. it comes (for Romania) from the longest era of the easter roman empire.

[@cedric5432]

the guttral R arrived in the 1800s tho

[@valevisa8429]

You are very right,the Romanian language has its origin in the Eastern Roman Empire,and it was formed in a period of 1,000 years.
