Pronunciation is more similar between Spanish and Italian. Also Portuguese and Italian Speakers can understand more when Spanish speakers speak versus the other way around. Reason is because Portuguese and Italian have extra sounds that Spanish doesn't have.

[@thevannmann]

Honestly, I'd say it's pretty easy to tell them apart in both written and spoken forms. We'll start with French. FRENCH: Its spelling uses several accents and words which are English cognates are generally spelt the same way or only slightly differently (usually one or two letters differently). E.g. nation(s) is the same in English and French; agility is agilité... in fact, the usage of é is very very common compared to the other languages. It also uses ç like Portuguese but the surrounding words will be very obvious as to which of the two languages it is. Keep an eye out for "le, la, les". In terms of its sounds, it's very nasal sounding and uses the guttural R sound that's similar to the German one. The "schwa" (e) sound is very common. ITALIAN: Italian words generally end in vowels and this is a huge clue in both the written and spoken forms. Vowels tend to be quite simple compared to French and Portuguese. If you seea bunch of double consonants (especially zz-) as well as endings like ità; zion(e/i) it's probably Italian. The combination of gh- and gl- is also distinctly Italian. Also keep an eye out for "la, le, gli, i" etc. PORTUGUESE: Like French, it is a very nasal language but the nasal sounds are somewhat different. There's the nasal -em sound that isn't really used in French. The difference between European and Brazilian Portuguese in speech is that Brazilian varieties are much more sing-songy and a lot of words end in the sound "chee" and "gee" whereas European varieties often swallow syllables. Some people even say European Portuguese sounds a bit Russian to their ears. It uses combination letters like -ção and -ções. Look out for those as well as -dade endings, as well as "a, o, as, os". SPANISH: Like Italian, it has simple vowels but the main difference is that words more often end in consonants like n, s, z compared to Italian. It also uses combinations like oy and ue. If a word ends in -ción or -dad(es) it's probably Spanish. Keep a watch out for "la, el, las, los". Spanish tends to be spoken somewhat faster than the other languages from what I've heard of it. Oh, and some European varieties use the th sound like in English. Some people even say European Spanish sounds a bit like Greek due to various sound similarities.

Pomo is a somewhat an Italian old-fashioned alternative to the word apple and can be somehow connected to all round fruits. For this reason, tomato in Italian is "pomodoro", that is, a "pomo d'oro" (golden apple), because the first varieties of tomatoes were golden and small, and very similar to apples. Modern tomatoes are the result of the various grafts of Spanish and especially Italian farmers, who transformed a small yellow and sour fruit into the juicy fruit/vegetable we all know today.

[@Bayard1503]

For us in order it would be: pisică (the word is basically how we say the cat sounds) maimuța (monkey and of course we also use macac, the word is from Greek or Turkish) albastru (from the Latin albaster, we also have "azur" and "bleu" for lighter blue which is taken directly from French) trei (3) roșie (which comes from our word for red: "roșu" that is also from the Latin roseus, like the Spanish rojo or the French rouge. We also have tomata but it's rarely used) monitor (also ecran) ceas (which also can mean hour, it comes from old Slavonic; we also have orologiu via either Italian or directly Latin but we use it for the big clocks in public places, on buildings) floare (directly from Latin) Sorry but I didn't try to explain the pronunciation, I guess you can guess it, Romanian has a couple extra letters like ă î ș ț but they are close to their corresponding letters a i s t.

As a second generation Mexican American who grew up understanding Spanish but usually responding in English, it's a little funny that it took me taking French in middle and high school to get me to finally get better at my Spanish. Like numbers past 20, months, and even days of the week. Since I grew up on the border, the crutch of Spanglish made it not entirely necessary to have it all down. For that reason (I assume) I understood it all when said to me, but my working vocabulary sucked and I'd forget correct words and usage in the moment until I learned French. So French helped my working vocabulary, I guess.

[@MauroDraco]

3:55 in Portuguese there is also símio (simian) for the generic group of New World Monkeys and Great Apes. It just sounds technical in everyday language. The word macaco probably became commonplace in Brazil as there the New World Monkeys are the most common group of primates one would see (other than the human great apes, of course) and, thus, the slightly more specific group name became the most popular reference for Apes or Primates in the language.

[@luksavat7750]

No, the word "macaco" is a generic and common word to refer to monkeys in Portugal as well. This word came from a Bantu language in Africa through Portuguese contact and Portugal spread it across Europe, but curiously all other languages ​​use it as a term for a specific type of monkey, while in Portuguese it is a generic term.

[@skirrix5165]

Same in spanish, we also have the word _simio_ for apes but we can also use it to refer to monkeys. It can be used as a synonym for _mono_ (though we often use mono instead of simio) or as a type of monkey just like _macaco_

European Portuguese sounds very "dry" because you cut so many syllables short and it isn't as "sing-songy" as Brazilian variants.

It depends on the region in Brazil, and there're differences even in the regions. I'm from northeast Brazil (RN state) and we do not use the 'dji' or 'tchi' sounds for 'd' and 't', maybe the 'i' sound in a few words. What we do, though, is cutting out some 's' and even some vowels in the end of the words, that's why southeasterners and southerners say that northeasterners speak way too fast.

[@flpReges]

@@eduardosantos5078 Bom, não existe hoje dado concreto que prove isso e são muitas as teorias do porquê nos distanciamos tanto da pronúncia europeia do português, mas eu diria que isso teve muito mais a ver com a falta de contato entre as duas variantes, visto que não haviam só imigrantes lidando com uma nova língua, mas também os nativos e os "imigrantes" que vieram em navios negreiros, portanto, forçados. Comunicávamos por cartas e, até a invenção do rádio, já havia uma cultura de consumo de mídia brasileira por meio de jornais.

I agree with you and disagree with you. I think the more basic way of speaking English isn’t very emotionally deep or passionate. However, English at a poetic/prose level is beautiful and powerful. I say this as someone of a creative/journalist background that we go by KISS, Keep It Simple Stupid when addressing mass audiences. I don’t converse with foreigners or even most native English speakers the way I do with my colleagues because they likely wouldn’t understand or would feel intimidated. But I think that’s why so many famous novelists are native English speakers is because the language can be easily crafted in clever ways. Also the King James Bible is beautifully written IMO. But Romance languages like French and Italian give off depth even at basic levels because they are so flowy.

I think Portuguese uses "macaco" for monkey probably because macaques are the only specie of monkeys in Portugal. Brazil retained "macaco" because macaque species don't exist in the America's since they are old world monkeys, so there's no confusion calling everything "macaco." English borrowed a lot Latin words to describe monkeys as well such as "macaque, simian, primate," etc.

No, the emphasis in Italian word "gatto" is neither in the a nor in the o, it's in the "t"s. As the Spanish girl keenly said, the stop is between the first and the second t, if you want to simplify. Actually she said it perfectly: you first pronounce (the docking to) the first t, then you don't let air pass for a moment and then you pronounce (the release of) the second one.
