Shaira🇵🇭 here! Thanks to World Friends for this opportunity! Just wanna correct the translation for leg is actually 'binti'. I mistakenly said 'hita' coz I was nervous and I only remembered 'hita' (thighs) lol. I just remembered 'binti' after the filming😂 Also, for the 'field' part, we asked the description of it during the filming and explained to us as 'rural' so I said 'probinsya' and describe it as 'province' since we consider 'province' as rural/시골.. Sorry for the confusion!❤

[@smaison]

No wonder you said probinsya, but yeah ig the direct translation of "field" would be "kapatagan" iirc

The discussion on Portuguese loanwords in Indonesian and Malaysian Malay, and their similarities with Spanish loanwords in Filipino, really deserves its own video. The way it’s squeezed into this one makes it feel like the participants from Vietnam, Thailand, and Myanmar are being sidelined. 1:06 The Indonesian dictionary also includes "kadera" (from the Portuguese "cadeira"), but this is more common in eastern Indonesia. In western Indonesia, where Genesia and Stefanie are from, "bangku" (from Portuguese “banco”) and “kursi” (from Arabic) are more widely used. 3:29 In Javanese, Sunday is “radite,” which is similar to “wan aathit” in Thai, as both come from the same Sanskrit word “aditya.” 5:22 No, Julia. We say “taksi” in Indonesian. “Teksi” is in Malaysian Malay 😁. 9:37 Indonesian borrows heavily from many languages-Sanskrit, Persian, Hokkien, Arabic, Portuguese, French, Latin, Dutch, English (often via Dutch calques)-and more recently, words from several of the 700+ local languages have been added to the Great Dictionary of the Indonesian Language. Indonesian is a living, ever-evolving language, open to both internal and external influences, which allows everyone to feel a sense of ownership. This is what sets it apart from Malaysian Malay, which tends to be more rigid and is primarily used by ethnic Malays in Malaysia. There’s a strong sense among Malays in Malaysia that they have exclusive rights to the language and feel entitled to police its use among non-Malays. For example, they restrict non-Malays and non-Muslims from using certain words. That’s likely why the Malaysian participant in this video struggled to pronounce "keju" properly-because, as a Chinese Malaysian, she doesn’t really speak the language. This contrasts with Chinese Indonesians like Genesia and Stefanie, who, despite also speaking English and Mandarin, are fluent in Indonesian and truly feel ownership of it as their national language.

True… When I hear my Brazilian friends talking, I hear 30% ã sound and 30% u sound and the rest. Brazilian Portuguese is soooo nasal and speak with their mouth like this→😮😦😗

[@williankran5082]

Portuguese from Portugal is even worse at this. They barely open the mouth to speak. It sounds super nasal.

[@yuchangmu]

Brazilian Portuguese sounds nasal because of its historical linguistic influences. The nasal sounds mainly come from the influence of the indigenous languages spoken in Brazil, like Tupi, combined with Portuguese from Europe. When Portuguese colonizers arrived in Brazil, the language started absorbing sounds from indigenous tongues, and nasality was a key feature in some of them. Over time, Brazilian Portuguese developed a stronger nasal characteristic compared to European Portuguese, especially in its vowels. Plus, the French language also influenced Portugal in the past, and French is known for its nasal sounds, so that influence carried over too.

[@MAC1949]

@@yuchangmu True!!!

[@AnarchoPinkoEuroBr]

​@@yuchangmuuntrue. if anything people from southern Brazil (particularly Porto Alegre) and São Paulo city sound like they have rhinitis. Júlia is from the São Paulo countryside so she's normal but overall Portuguese people, Angolans, Mozambicans, Cape Verdeans and São Tomeans aren't any less nasal than we are. It's a Celtic substrate in Gallaecia feature, Galicia lost the nasal pronunciation because of language loss through Spanish.

[@yuchangmu]

@@AnarchoPinkoEuroBr Hey, I see where you're coming from, but I'd say there's more nuance to the nasal sounds in Brazilian Portuguese. While it's true that Portuguese in general has nasal vowels, the way nasality is perceived in Brazilian Portuguese, especially in some regions, is more prominent. The influence of indigenous languages, like Tupi, may have enhanced this characteristic here. Also, regions like São Paulo or Porto Alegre might sound more "nasal" due to the way certain vowels and diphthongs are pronounced in those accents. Regarding the Celtic substrate, it’s true that nasality existed in Gallaecia (modern Galicia and northern Portugal), but Brazil’s linguistic evolution involves multiple influences beyond just that, including African and indigenous languages. So while the Celtic theory is valid for the roots of nasality in European Portuguese, the development in Brazil has been shaped by a much more complex mix of factors.

[@fah090492]

Good job guys..by the way the portuguese is the first western colonials that come to south east asia, which they conquered malacca.. since malay is lingua franca in the archipelago during the times..all the Portuguese loanwords spread at the same time… Both tagalog and indonesian have a lot of malay roots, so it make sense why a lot of similarities

It's obvious it was a Portuguese influenced. they're the first european power to colonized south east asia. specifically Melaka, modern day Malaysia. Melaka is the hub of the region back then. the center of Malay archipelago. the trade, the language, everything. so the fall of Melaka to the Portuguese left a permanent mark on the region's language. there's so many Portuguese words in modern Malay.

In the past calling someone "from the campo" was an insult in Brazil. Nowadays with the concrete jungles, everyone dreams of the peace of the campo and the beautiful of living around the nature.

[@AnarchoPinkoEuroBr]

I have never heard campo be used like that, the insult is to say they're roceiros, da roça, jecas, caipiras or at most do interior (overdrawing the last r as a velarized retroflex approximant).

[@ilmanMseptian]

Garfu Jendela (janela) Sepatu (sapato) Sabtu (sabado)

[@dex1lsp]

The unclear distinction between legs and feet is interesting. It reminds me of some Slavic languages where distinguishing "feet" from "legs" is like an awkward afterthought that never seemed to cross the minds of the early speakers who formed those languages, so specifying "foot" requires some kind of clunky descriptive terminology involving "leg."

[@kunderemp]

Finally, someone got the connection between dominggo and minggu. Meanwhile, in my highschool, I was taught in Economoc subject that 'bank' was indeed came from 'banco' because the money transaction was done at long chair at that time.

[@oscarberolla9910]

True, it arose during medieval times in Italy, when they did business sitting on benches; It is also called "la banca" and when the business went wrong they broke your bank, which they called "bancarrota"

[@yaktisuputri9939]

Indonesia : Sanskrit (Hinduism influence from Indian trader and Hindu kingdoms began to emerge in Indonesia) , Arabian, Persian (many Arabian and Persian trader for trade and spread the the teaching of Islam. And Islamic kingdom began to emerge in Indonesia to change Hindu kingdom) , Chinese (Chinese influence is from Chinese trader in Indonesia) , Portuguese, Dutch (Indonesia is the country of Portuguese and Dutch colonialism) . And it's not surprise if some Portuguese words is same with Indonesian and Melayu. Indonesia is the country has adopt many languages and make the combination with Melayu. And yeah that is

As similaridades lexicais entre o português e alguns paises orientais se deve ao fato de que no Século XVI , Portugal foi uma potência europeia e a primeira a chegar no sudestes e extremo oriente asiaticos. Nas escolas Brasil,estudamos sobre isso em histórias das navegações portuguesa que causou a descoberta do Brasil 🇧🇷

[@andrewabalahin1786]

There's a difference between languages that are accustomed to borrowing and those that prefer roots that are "native" -- English vs, German, Japanese vs. Mandarin. 'Banco" meaning both 'bench" and "bank" reflects the fact that the first banks (in Venice) were simply benches where clients waited their turn to get a loan. You have to be careful in Italian where the plural benches looks like a feminine singular noun.

[@Captainumerica]

Banco actually refers to the bench the merchant, usually jewish, used to negociate. As in "workbench".

[@DanyalElia]

Does singapore even has its own language??? I think they mainly speak English with a singaporean accent with an added slang... in Indonesia call them singlish... which means singaporean-english.

It's weird all those words in the Asian languages because they are disconnected from everything else because the languages are not Latin in origin.
