- In today’s episode, we’re comparing Arabic and Portuguese, two languages that belong to different family groups but have a number of words in common. There is a historical factor that plays a role in the commonalities shared between these two languages. We previously made a documentary about this in Portugal.

Portuguese is a West Romance language and the official language of Portugal, Brazil, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, Angola, and São Tomé and Príncipe. It also has co-official language status in East Timor, Equatorial Guinea and Macau in China. A cultural presence of Portuguese and Portuguese creole speakers are also found in Goa, Daman and Diu in India; as well in Batticaloa on the east coast of Sri Lanka, the Indonesian island of Flores, in the Malacca state of Malaysia, and the ABC islands in the Caribbean where Papiamento is spoken, while Cape Verdean Creole is the most widely spoken Portuguese-based Creole.
Arabic is a Central Semitic language and has official/national status Algeria, Bahrain, Comoros, Chad, Djibouti, Egypt, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, SADR, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tanzania (Zanzibar), Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. - บันเทิง

The Arabic speaking girl is the best at this, she's so good get her in more videos.
Yes
she is iraqi
But she shouldn't read the sentences with the case endings (العراب) it is unnecessary and making it harder for the other to guess.
She's so beautiful too
Gado of more
O árabe é o minerês: alfas, mesquim, marzem, etc.

achei ofensivo, posta mais, kkk apesar de ser mineiro são poucos por aqui que falam assim, se for para interior é mais comum de ver
Verdade! O minerin é igualzin!
jaja a gente descobre algum pandkhej
Uai, n é q é vdd esse trem
"Até" can also mean "even" in Portuguese as well.
its actually the same for arabic, since this word has many meaning and it depends in the context of the sentence.
Thats how it’s written in arabic >> حَتًي and yes it means “ even “ in english
Pragmatic & Humble I think it’s more like حتى without the dots in the last letter because it will result in a different word
Até “até” “até” quer dizer (tradução)
In moroccan arabic is htà
I’m arab ,And i have always loved Brazilian people and Brazilian football.. last club world cup here in Qatar i was on the stadium supporting my favorite team flamengo ❤️🖤.. I’m currently learning their language , and I’m in love with it . Also there is a Portuguese word that we use in Arabic , it’s called “ abajur “it’s used in Arabic as “ abajura “ witch means table lamp
Thank you. Brazil welcomes you.
Yeah, We welcome you, mate !
Ooops... Flamengo.
Paulo Pereira . sorry I guess? Hahahah
I love the Arab, because it's beautiful language and culture too.
Henrique nailed this one! I was thinking it would be harder for a brazilian because of their accent but I guess not. I loved how the girl kept adding the "Al"'s to facilitate. Lots of love from Portugal! 🇵🇹 🇧🇷 🇮🇶 🇮🇷
Op
Finalmente um sotaque de português aceitável, os últimos vídeos com português eram só com estrangeiros. Mas mesmo assim estranhei um pouco do sotaque do Henrique, ele falou com um R retroflexo e não com o R alveolar, e ainda falou que não consegue falar o R alveolar, então como ele falaria palavras básicas como “trabalho”, “porta”. Enfim, talvez ele seja um brasileiro que vive há muito tempo na América do Norte
@@josuegabriel8066 "porta" tem diferentes formas de falar; compare paulista X carioca. Sotaque brasileiro muda muito e o "r" é uma das letras com vários temperos.
@@josuegabriel8066 Se não me engano o sotaque dele é o sotaque ''paulista''. Lá pronunciam o R no meio de palavras desta forma, assim como o R no inglês norte-americano.
PINGUIM BOLADO mas até na palavra “trabalho” ? Ele disse que não conseguia “enrolar” o R, mas na palavra trabalho, como também na palavra “palavra”, todos enrolam o R.
all love for my Arabic brothers from Portugal. ;)

But those muslim people spoke arabic language.
When I was in New Zealand, people thought I spoke Arabic, Russian or Spanish, but actually I speak Brazilian Portuguese!
When I hear Portuguese it makes me think of Russian because of pronounciation too (I can speak some Russian but not portuguese)
@@Symphonial I also notice what the sound looks like, although the language is totally different. I work on ships of different nationalities, the common language is English, but when the Russians speak their native language, I have the feeling that if I pay attention I will understand, but I don't understand anything. lol
@@Symphonial portuguese from Portugal have similar accent like russian
@@abeldap.g.5640 Glad to see I'm not the only one lol. It's the same when I heard some portuguese :).
@@Symphonial Everyone talks about this supposed similarity between Portuguese and Russian, but I’ve never seen a Brazilian or Portuguese living in their native countries who notice this similarity, I think only foreigners see it.
I love how you can tell how intelligent these two people are. Henrique is clearly very well versed in Portuguese, and Mina is so skilled with fusha Arabic that she can rattle it off effortlessly, and how both can see all these antiquated words through the lens of another language. Truly truly amazing.
not to mention the help she got from her French! very smart girl
Leandro R hell yeah. We stan a multilingual queen
I thought the same, as me being brazilian I couldn't understand a couple of words in my own language.
Me as portuguese i could figure all of them just cotton i guessed the same as the guy. 😆
I'm Brazilian and I'm in love with Henrique, he's handsome and intelligent haha
His English is rather good too
I'm Maltese and this video was so much fun to watch. Maltese is a weird mixture of Arabic, Sicilian, Italian and some English, and seeing the similarities between Maltese, Portuguese and Arabic was really interesting. :)
Im from Morocco and I can understand Maltese 90%. I also speak Italian, Spanish, Catalan and English.
@@yunikhamoudan6043 That makes sense. Maltese is closest to Maghrebi Arabic and we also have some Berber too, but the Italian influence in the language is very strong too.
I am from iraq and visited Malta last year with my mom. My mom doesn't speak English, she communicated in arabic with the people and everybody understood her😂 very friendly people ❤
The amount of places that have names of Arabic root in Portugal is also just insane, particularly in southern Portugal. Algarve, for example, comes from Arabic meaning "the west".
well arabs and berbers had a presence in the iberian peninsula for 700years, so its bound to have reliques of that era
Spanish and portuguese have more words from arabic origin than latin. And maltese language's vocabulary is 90% arabic and its espacially close to tunisian dialect.
No wonder As once upon a time arabic was the world language just like english nowadays, except arabic is much richer with more than 12 Million words compared to 600.000 words in english
@@brainlessfool7815 That is completly not true!! Arabic influence in the Portuguese language is limited to 954 words, with about a third being old fanished or unused in modern Portuguese: ciberduvidas.iscte-iul.pt/consultorio/perguntas/influencia-arabe-na-lingua-portuguesa/5010
Portuguese and Spanish are overwhelmingly Latin in origin with small inputs from previous Iberian natives languages, Germanic and Arabic from the invasions after the fall of the Roman Empire and other later borrowings from diverse languages. All these don't even come anywhere to being the tinniest bit as impactful as Latin is in Portuguese and Spanish. Latin never stopped being talked by the people here, since the Romans arrived. Portuguese and Spanish are just what Latin became after 2 thousands years of acumulating small changes over and over again. By the 9th/10th century and maybe later, the languages didn't even had names of their own here, they were just called "popular Latin", "local Latin dialects", "vulgar Latin" or other names of the sort.
@@desanipt Yeah i agree i was exagerating by stating that arabic influence is more than latin in portuguese and spanish, but 954 words as said on the link seems to be a bit minimized to me. However Spanish has a the larger Arabic influenced vocabulary with around 8 to 10% according to sources.
Antonio Gala, a spanish writer, poet and novelist affirmed that Spanish comes from two branches, the first being the Latin language and the second being the Arabic language. Maybe the spanish article "el" has an arabic origin as well?
@@brainlessfool7815 Spanish and Portuguese are based in Latin. As well as italian, Romanian, French... that's the reason why the speakers of these languages can understand entire sentences and recognize about half of the vocabulary...
Of course Latin was influenced by Greek, Persian, Hebrew, Coptic. It is not surprising that even Arabic due direct and indirect influence got words from Latin (as the romans traded in Arabia and in the African horn).
Of course in the 8th century until the 12th century Arabic was being used in Spain and many words ended up being used in modern day vocabulary. Still even in the south spanis used their daily Latin which originated to the dialect Ladino. Still people wrote a sort of old Spanish using the Arabic alphabet. But to expect that an Arabic speaker and a Spanish can understand each without learning about the other language first is false. Both languages are very distinctive word formation and phonetics...
In European Portuguese, the word "taça" can also be used for a small bowl to eat soup or a dessert from (like she was mentioning in Arabic). Which is a lot more commonly used than for a type of glass (taça for glasses of wine seems to be used more as a measure in restaurants (i.e., they sell wine "by the taça", by the glass)
:-) Finally this video! I'm a brazilian that wants to learn arabic!
No I just want 😊
@Gatinho do penhasco Hahahahhahaa não, mas faz sentido
I'm using Duolingo. Arabic is so cool
@ZIAD TUBE زياد تيوب
thanks a lot 😀😀
Somos dois!! Estou fazendo um curso de árabe
I'm a Spanish speaker and I am surprised about the similarities between these languages and how a Spanish person also can understand, this is fascinating
Arabs ruled Spain and portugal for 1000 years. and it was the best times for all religions.
@@dannyyo7948 it was not for a thousand years and it was definitely not the best time in iberian history. Muslims were definitely a lot cooler in the past though. Before inbreeding with cousins etc. started ruining the gene pool.
@@dannyyo7948 from 711 to 1492.* Not even 800 years, that's for Spain. In Portugal the Arabs were even for less years than in Spain.
Sometimes we divide ourselves by languages and geography and forget that we are more close each other than we think.
When the Arabs and Berbers made the pilgrimage to the Iberian peninsula, they turned a mostly abandoned land into an advanced country renowned for its higher education and improved standard of living.
It's a shame that the Roman Catholic Church invaded al-Andulas. The Crusades was a bloody event, and a dirty stain on the history of Iberia.
Hey guys! Im from Istanbul, I live with my girlfriend. She is from Brazil and we just discovered these similarities between Turkish and Portuguese. Both languages affected by Arabic, English and French. But pronunciations are sooo similar. 80% and more of the examples in this video are also available in Turkish. This video made me happy :) thanks
Que interessante... Não sabia disso... 😯
Merhaba
@@rafinha15d hey merhaba
Berkay Turhan Turkish being my first language, idk how you relate this to Turkish but I just got some stuff related to Spanish from the Portuguese words and that’s how I figured out most of it.
@@jeffmesquita8237 Nem eu, quando vejo um turco, inglês, árabe ou francês falando algo eu não entendo nada (com exceção do inglês que eu entendo o mínimo), talvez seja por isso que eu nunca vi estas semelhanças.
Facts: if you think these 2 languages are similar, wait to see this:
Portuguese: +800 arabic words.
Spanish: +4.000 arabic words.
Its tru muslim and critstian many smilir language .
@@burjoningting501
Not muslim and Christian but arabic and latin
@@burjoningting501 is because the Arabic domination in Iberic region for many centuries. So, Portuguese and Spanish win many influences from Arabian culture and words.
Exactly, there are 250,000 words in the Portuguese vocabulary, only 400-600 words are of Arabic origin. Most words are not even being used and being written off from our vocabulary today. The similarities end there! The truth is when the moors invaded, we lived separate from them and we did not mix with them! Also they never ruled northern Portugal and Galicia! Genetics tests in the general population show very little dna from them, with the highest being in the Algarve obviously, being the last territory that we took back when they were expelled from our territory!

The Portuguese speaker should definitely be in future videos.
Yea for a specific Brazilian vid but not Portuguese tbh
yup brazilian's pronunciation is very diferent from european. european sai aRRoZ brasilians say arrois , european is more close to arabic origin the guy say alfaiache instead off alfaiaTe

DROSO PARIS still portuguese tho chill
@@sofiarosado7082 I'm just sayin. It's like making a video about English with a Patwa speaking person.
It's Amazing how Arabic has had a great influence on many languages of the world, especially in vocabulary. Overall, it deserves more recognition than it is being given!
The Arabic language has offered nothing to the knowledge and humanity,
It has never been a language of science and even owes its written grammar to Persian.
Ali Alis your a English is hopeless.
I NSA It’s not the case anymore, the number of non-religious books and papers being published in Arabic is very low for such a high population of speakers.

What a beautiful language arabic is. Greetings from Brazil.
I always thought Portuguese was a cool language
greetings from Iraq!!
Bro we arabs love you so much wallah❤️🇸🇦
Thank you so much
You need to do the exact same video but with a European Portuguese. Because we pronounce it much more similar to the Arabic version
They both are really smart indeed, I love how they can "guess" different sound/accent in both languages, especially the rolled R in Arabic becomes "h" in Portuguese and the ال/al prefix.
It's written as an "r" though. We have like 3 or 4 different ways to pronounce the "r".
When Timorese speak Portuguese we pronounce "r" and "rr" like the Spanish speakers do (because that's how we pronounce "r" in Tetum or any other local languages). French "r" which is common in Portugal is completely unnatural for our tongue. Brazilians basically pronounce "r" at the beginning of word and 'rr' like the sound of English 'h'.
I think that's the reason Spanish speakers find Timorese accents a lot easier to understand compared to Brazilian or European Portuguese accents.
I think the R is the easiest part for a Brazilian, we have both sounds
@@renatobabka263 yeah French "r" which is common in Portugal is difficult for us because the sound is produced in the back of the throat. Brazilian pronunciation of single r at the beginning of word and double rr is identical to the sound of English "h" which is easy because most Asian languages have that sound. I dont know if Spanish 'rr' sound exists in Brazilian accent but Brazilian teacher on TH-cam like Juliana Selem said when she first learned Spanish she had trouble pronouncing Spanish "rr".
Brazil's has high German influence thus r is an h, w is an v. Portuguese in Portugal is a bit different.
I'm Arabic speaker but Portuguese language is very beautiful to my ears
Both of them really intelligent and she speaks clear Arabic with perfect pronunciation
Brazil loves arabic culture 🇧🇷
@F*ck Arabistan well I'm was in Arab country And there's no shiria law
Well no...
No
We love you wallah, latinos❤️🇸🇦
Oh why not what's wrong?
Wow! The arabic pronouncing of the words is soooo close to Portugal's portuguese!
The European Portuguese R is more similar to the Arabic R than the Brazilian one
In Brazilian Português, 1 “R” still maintains kind of a light “D”.. although 2 Rs makes the “H” sound so well known in Brazilian Portuguese.. most Portuguese will trill their 2 Rs as if it was Spanish.. Southern Brazilians MAY trill the Rs but most Brazilians are definitely not known to trill the 2 Rs that way, favoring the H sound far more.
Portugal features like North African in face features ....Tunisia egypt Algeria morocco ...like portugal and south spain . ...***
@@mohammedtolba2208 Its normal mate. We Portuguese are descendant from european christians but also arabic muslims. Many of our heritage is arabic too :D
There are several Rs in Portuguese
@@USCTrojan2013 they do the French R usually in EP

Thanks Bahador. As a Portuguese speaker I really enjoyed this video. My understanding is that most of the Arabic derived words in Portuguese was derived from Andalusian Arabic a dialect that most probably closer Arabic that is spoken in Morocco.
No, it’s Fusha Arabic. Bear in mind that it takes centuries to develop a different accent.
Addendum:
Qutn = cotão (lint, fluff, fuzz)
Al-qutn = algodão (cotton)
I loved this video, and I do love this channel! Keep the good job on, man, thank you for sharing this with us all here, there, everywhere around the globe!!!
Finally I found the comment mentioning the cotton...I am adding and guessing at the same time that "cotonete" (q-tip in english) came from the french "cottonette" which translates to "small cotton"...pretty much like the "kitchenette" became the brazilian-portuguese "kitnet"
Please keep Meena around as your designated Arabic speaker, I absolutely LOVE how she picks up on those things to help the other like the “al” in this video!
You guys are so friendly! Nice video! Thanks for sharing! 🙏🏼❤️
Great video, thanks so much, been waiting for this one. Both of them were great.
They are both smart!
I like how arabic affected alot of languages🖤🇮🇶
Yeah it entered the languages in my country both directly and indirectly. Directly, when Arab traders and missionaries came to the Philippine islands before it was known as the Philippines, and indirectly when the Spanish colonized us bringing words they themselves have imported from the Arabs when they were under their rule. I just find it fascinating.
@@Caliberskyxx that's cool!
Arab people was the most advanced and cultured in the World in 1000 AD. At the same time, the modern languages from today were being formed. So, naturally the words from the most developed people ended entering other languages. Similarly, a lot of words from English are entering other languages, as IT concepts are difficult to efficiently translate into local languages.
ARABIC DID NOT AFECTED A LOT OF LANGUAGES BECAUSE IT IS PART OF IT ITSELF INDO EUROPEAN MOST OF THE LANGUAGES TODAY DERIVATED FROM THE LANGUAGE THAT OUR ANCESTORS SPOKEN AND WRITHED IN SOUTH OF PORTUGAL 11.000 YEARS AGO AND TOOK TO SO MANY AREAS OF THE CONTINENT INCLUDINF THE MIDLE EAST GOOGLE KONNI LANGUAGE OF TARTESSOS ALGARVE

I love Arabic language ❤️ Love From Russia 🇷🇺
'
Приятно слышать такого)
Which language should I learn first between Russian and Arabic?
Well, Arabic was never spoken in the Penisula. It was just a language used among the ultra-minority of ruling Arabs and was also the language of the religion and literature. It wasn't spoken by the citizens, not even in the muslim areas. That language spoken there was Mozarabic, that was a romance language. In modern Portuguese the Arabic influence is close to nil: 300 words in more than 300000.
You should learn it because that will give you bigger range of mind specially with out ideas

Much love Bahador and thanks for these videos
I'm portuguese and yes, we have so many words with arabic roots :) But portuguese accent (from Portugal) is more similar to arabic than the brazilian one though, mainly because of the way brazilian people pronounce "r", "e" and "t". For example, the word "auge" they talked about, in Portugal we say it exactly the same way. Also, some words got different meanings in Brazil and so I think in Portugal is a lot more close to arabic, like "taça" for example. It is very interesting to see how words and expressions are so similar around the world and how they change :) Much love to our arabic and brazilian brothers!
Been waiting for this 😁
Great video! Really interesting to see these “facilities” in learning languages as I speak Portuguese and am now studying Arabic and Darija... so seeing this helps me very much!

Great video. I’m from Brazil and want to learn Arabic soon. Both ( the lady and my Brazilian folk ) were amazing.
I just realized that Miskin was from Arabic. We Indonesian use it to say Poor as well. Wow. Who's indonesian here?
In Turkish it rather means "lazy"
@@dorthusiast in Arabic, at least in Syria, fekir is poor and miskin is like somebody in misery/poor conditions
As an Indonesian myself I didn't get surprised, considering that there are thousands of Arabic words in Indonesian.
@@faROCK03
in Portuguese, faquir is that guy who lays down on a bed of nails!
@@faROCK03 we use fakir miskin together. To say a person who is very poor. Fakir is never used alone. Miskin however always means Poor as having no money or cant satisfy his daily grocery.
Can’t wait to watch this later. I love the arabic videos, especially with how talented Mina is
It would be easier if you had a European Portuguese. Our accent is closer to the Arabic
And he won't do that lol
it would be A LOT easier, we use words that are derived from Arabic in Portugal that are not used in Brazil or have a different meaning in Brazil. Having a Portuguese speaking person from Portugal would be a lot more accurate and easier for the Arabic speaker
excelent video, nice friendship between different cultures, beautiful languages ...love it
In sicilian we say mischinu (mişkinu) and it means poor as well! Like 'poor him'. So cool to have discovered this word we have in common.
Henrique was taking it in and lost the chance to add that "até" has several uses in Portuguese as well. Up until, even if (até se), as/but also (como até) are some possible uses.
Also, being Portuguese I could be wrong, but it's my belief "oxalá" translates more accurately to "hopefully" or "God willing". It's an expletive used when the outcome of smth or future event is out of our own control, up to fate. "I wish" loses some of that intent.
Really enjoyed this one! Great video, congrats guys! 😁
PS. Also, if you're in the mood for some Portuguese music: th-cam.com/video/N1V6mPG6BLA/w-d-xo.html
Sim, seria tipo "graças a Deus"
I agree, irmão.
Insha'allah in Arabic means hopefully or God willing. So it's exactly the same thing.
in = if
sha' = will
Allah = God
If God wills.
That's right, "oxalá" means "hopefully" in Brazil, too.
The portuguese word to "Oxalá" (in sha Allah) it's "TOMARA"!
"Oxalá" isn't commonly used, it's more like a religious term!
The common term derivated from "in sha Allah" it's "tomara"!
"Tomara" means "hopefully"!
This is a great video! Thank you! I am Portuguese from Portugal and the Arabic similarities are more present there, definitely contributing to the history and Arabic settlers in Portugal :) Very cool!
As a brazilian and language lover , i must say that i loved this video. And both of the guests were super nice, hope to see them again.

Bahador, I’m grateful for the celebration of inclusivity of your videos. Thank you! From a viewer’s point of view, may I suggest that, after the linguistic link has been guessed, the words in the two languages be shown on screen side by side?

"Laranja" came from the arabic word "nāranj" wich came from the persian "nārang" wich came from the sanskrit "nāraṅga".
There are more than one theory about "Tabaco" but some suggest that it came from "tabāq" supposedly arabic word.
I've found some of these arabic words online with various meanings, like dish(?) or medicinal plant(?) for "tabāq" and orange tree or bitter orange for "nāranj" but I didn't found much about "al-lzaward" these might be words no longer in use that faded away from arabic through time. I don't have much hope of fiding about them while searching in english and portuguese, maybe you can find much more searching in arabic :)
What fun!! Thanks for this!!
The Arabic she speaks sounds closer to the Portuguese from Portugal than the Portuguese from Brazil.
Actually there are a lot of common words between them! Maybe is hard to recognize them, but those words that Portuguese got from Arabic usually starts with A or AL!
I like how they are connected! Greetings from Bulgaria to everyone! ;)

@Gatinho do penhasco I agree with you!
Arabic has influeced a lot of languages but this type of features like articles is less possible te be borrowed!

Thank you I learned Portuguese, and now I’m learning Arabic. I was curious to see how Portuguese/ Spanish might help with Arabic. 👍🏻 Nice vídeo
