I left Russia 2 years ago and recently moved to Europe, and my country of choice was Portugal. I now live in Lisbon and I'm really enjoying it. However, as a Russian who moved to the West, I've recently heard some terrible news that I have to tell you about. It turns out that Portugal is secretly Eastern Europe! Today we'll check out the r/PORTUGALCYKABLYAT subreddit, talk about why some people say that Portugal is in Eastern Europe, and I'll give my Russian reaction to it. And yes, as strange as it is, Portuguese does sound like Russian. subscribe and like for more thx xoxo

Portugal is the most eastern country in the west.

And geographically the westernmost country in europe. I should say mainland europe since iceland is part of europe atleast part of iceland is the other part is part of north america.

Moved to Portugal 4 years ago from the States. Its so much better and I'm so much happier its like night and day. Never experienced so much freedom and also fun as ive had here. I could go on, but one example is that people seem so just be happy with what they have. Proud to be working class
Get up, worker!
This is so cool man. As a portuguese i always watched your videos about russia. So cool to have you here! Welcome bro
What Russians find in vodka, the Portuguese find in cheap drugs..........!
As a proud "Eastern European" Portuguese i can confirm that Curva is a real word we use and it means Turn (as in a turn in a road or a path)
But we also use it as a soft-curse like blin.
Vai dar uma curva!
there is an (untrue) theory that Kurwa (which means "a whore") originated from Latin curvus because the prostitutes stood on corners of the streets.
@@goncalocandeias3309 Well, I wouldn't say it's a curse at all. It's just rude to tell someone to disappear and that's, but rude doesn't equal cursing

Years ago, after living in Hungary and Lithuania for some years, I moved to Portugal to get a break from Eastern Europe.. it was hardly any different! I couldn’t believe my luck.
You got out of Georgia just in time, Roman! After having gotten out of Russia just in time! Good timing!
I was watching Artur Rehi's latest video and he said with the new foreign agent law, Georgia's pro Russia gov't can seize assets from youtubers! I hadn't realized this. I wonder if "Natasha's Adventures" will need to escape, even though she just got Georgian residency?
Maybe our boy is cursing countries, Portugal came across pretty cursed already though😂
Being Portuguese and being your viewer for years, it's pretty crazy seeing you talk about my country and walking around places I know since I've been a kid xD
About the reasons why Portugal is behind the rest of western Europe, it actually comes from WAY further back than Salazar and the estado novo. It's really a complex sequence of events since the 1500~1600s that slowly ended in our situation. We were an extremely rich and surprisingly powerful country in early colonialism (I mean, we started it along with the Spanish), however in 1578 the absolute "genius" that was king Sebastian I (who was a religious fanatic thanks to his equally zealot Spanish mother) decided he wanted to have a holy conquest of Morocco, where he ended up dying at 24 years old in an extremely 1 sided battle that he had no business even attempting (look up battle of Alcacer Quibir), also leaving no heir in the process. This started a succession crisis, that eventually ended up with the king of Spain, Filipe II (I of Portugal) with the Portuguese throne. His mother was Portuguese, so he actually took care of the Portuguese holdings fairly well, but not so much his son and grandson. In those 60 years, Portuguese holdings and interests were largely ignored, which ended up with losing much of our influence, as well as a war with the Dutch where we lost our colonies in the east indies (around modern day Indonesia). While we were never able to recuperate our status as a super power, we were still a colonial power with quite a lot influence (especially in the southern Atlantic) that was slowly diminishing until 1755. In that year, Portugal suffered a huge earthquake that completely destroyed Lisbon and much of the rest of the country around and to the south of Lisbon. This of course came with a multitude of stability and financial troubles for the next decades. In the early 1800s, when we were finally recuperating and could start working on catching up with the rest of Europe, a random Corsican guy called Napoleon started making trouble all over Europe, which include the Peninsular War starting in 1814. In response to the inevitable invasion, the Portuguese court fled to Brasil, in a chain of events that shortly led to the independence of Brasil, which in part also caused a civil war in Portugal, called the Liberal wars in the 1830s. During the rest of the 1800s, Portugal was always behind the rest of western Europe and never really recuperated, the industrial revolution actually never really happened here, we were faced with an extremely ineffective bureaucracy culture, ineffective politicians and corruption. In 1911, a group of intellectuals orchestrated the revolution that ended the monarchy, however it was never supported by the deeply conservative and religious general population, especially because of it's stance against the catholic church, and was a time with alot of instability, political assassinations and coups. Eventually a coup was done that started a military dictatorship, from which the estado novo was eventually born through Salazar, which only really continued our disadvantaged and isolated situation. Hope this gives you a better understanding of our country.
Anyways, with the history lesson over, you're very welcome to our country man, hope you're liking it here ;)
Great history lesson! I always love hearing the view of a well-informed person who is actually from the place they're discussing.
Thanxx for this elaborate explicaçao ..... obrigado..

Always happy to see a new video by my favorite neighborhood Portuguese!
Thanks!!! I really enjoy your views on the world and you make me smile every time you reflect upon the world around you. Very glad that you are out of the stress and in Portugal. Take care and keep up with your fantastic videos. Randy
To be fair, Portuguese sounds pretty Russian accent-wise at times
I don't speak any Slavic or Latin language and every time I hear European Portuguese I think I'm hearing Russian or polish or something. Brazilian Portuguese just sounds like Spanish to me however.
As a Romanian I can understand quite a bit. It does sound weird af but it's legit an Eastern Latin country!
I am Polish and... WHAT THE FUCK?
@@Regarded69Portuguese sound Russian af, but definitely not Polish. Personally it sounds similarly to Italian.
It’s true, I’m Spanish and Portuguese from Portugal does sound Slavic to us because Portuguese sometimes likes to eat vowels and have multiple consonant sounds, like ts, pr, st, etc. as a Spanish person, I’m told Greek also sounds Spanish, many people think Spanish and then it’s Greek lol
Italy is half-Balkan too. South Italy is the most Balkan part of the world that is not on the Balkans.
I'm Albanian and grew up with a ton of people from the south. We were baffled how many things we had in common
You don't understand how it works, let a Balkaner explain it to you. If you ask an Austrian, they say everything south of them is Balkans. You ask a Slovenian, and they say everything south of them is Balkans, then Croats say the same, so on and so forth until you reach Greece. Then Balkans is everything north of them.
It's called Schrodinger's Balkan
@@joschmo4497 you don't get it! The whole world is Balkan, just that the Balkan balkans is the capital

P.S. When I’m speaking Portuguese while travelling, people think I’m speaking Russian, and are shocked to find out its Portuguese, because they are used to the Brazillian sound. Anyway the Portugal slander is wild lol
Eu também pá, eu também.
Eu estou a aprender russo já há algum tempo. A razão disso tem a ver com a nossa língua ter características iguais às linguas protoescalavas.
1) Isocronia: As línguas eslavas, assim como os português e até o inglês, tendem a ter as sílabas tónicas nos mesmos sítios (maioria são palavras graves ou paroxítonas) assim como o seu significado é dependente do som emitido (foneticamente diferente, significado diferente, escrita igual).
2) Nasalação: O polaco tem algumas nasais mas nós temos mais. Na Rússia não existe mas há alguns dialetos que podem conter.
3) Sonoridade das Consoantes: é essencialmente o nosso ch (chuva) j (justo), lh (ilha) e por fim nh (punho) que existe no Russo (apenas 1 letra no cirílico) com mais variantes reduzidas ou transformadas (vê o vídeo do roman sobre o alfabeto russo).
4) Redução Vocálica: Vogais átonas são algumas vezes reduzidas ou quase omitidas na totalidade como no Russo. Existe muitas declinações no russo, muito mais que me português.
5) Articulação das vogais: Nós fechamos as vogais e apenas abrimos só nas tónicas exatamente como no russo.
6) Rapidez e longos grupos de consoantes: O português europeu tende a se falar rápido e isto induz a reduzir ou omitir vogais no meio de várias consoantes como a palavra colesterol onde se diz na verdade colstrol. Tens "lstr" 4 consoantes seguidas algo que no russo existe bastante e não só pela redução.
@@pushdwordeu também um pouco, sabendo as letras e meio caminho andado não é assim tão difícil, há mais semelhanças entre português e russo que inglês

I did hear spoken Portuguese sounds like Russian.
Neat to see you make this.
No, Romanian spoken by Moldovans sounds similar to Portuguese, a Latin language but with a Slavic accent lol 🤣😆. I'm Romanian and I find Moldovan accent so quirky and funny.
There are some similarities in pronunciation and they have some similar sounds, a bit odd for a western Romance language nowhere near Slavic Europe. Grammatically though Russian is much more complicated.
@@virgilflowers9846 given there is conjunction for everything in it. The lang video mentioned it was just verbal if I recall.
It's because they seem to skip the vowels whenever possible, just like in Slavic languages. Portuguese vocabulary and grammar is incredibly close to Spanish (I learned both), but the pronunciation couldn't be more different.

he is right lol
Portugal is the most eastern country of the west simply put
I've visited Lisbon (and Portugal) more than any other country (from the UK) and it definitely feels different to every other Western European country - which is probably why I visit so much! It's not expensive for tourists, the people are really really nice (though you definitely need some language skills other than English to converse), and it's just such a chill place...I wonder if they'll ever finish replacing the stones on the pavement, feels like everywhere you go there is someone tapping and grouting the stones in...in the UK they would just leave a hole or maybe pour in some tarmac if you're lucky!
No, we like the floor like that, thanks anyway 😜
How is your Portuguese?
No, we keep replacing it everywhere and all the time. And most people under 30, 40 do speak english. I m a bit older and as you notice my english is not very good, but I think its enough for a conversation...
We purposefully make holes everywhere to keep the economy going
The fuck you mean cheap? Three euro coffees in central Porto should be considered theft bro
I find some of these charts hard to believe as portuguese person. For example the trans acceptance chart, I think portuguese people are way more accepting than 12%. Maybe the other 88% is people that either dont care of very religious people.
If you step outside your bubble you’d find out the reality, most people aren’t into that insanity

I'm studying as Linguist and I really love learning about languages and cultures, but I shit you not, the amount of times that I have heard Portuguese and thought that it's Russian is insane.
(for context, my Russian is not the best)
Yeah, it sounds like Russian, but the nasal sounds and uvular r make Portuguese distinct for me. And if you understand Spanish, it would be much easier to recognize it.

I am from Galicia, the chunk of Spain right on top of Portugal, and I have been saying this for years too. Rural Galicia and the north of Portugal (I have only visited the north) are very Balkan in their culture. A lot of stereotypes about eastern europe are true for us too. It's kinda weird but cool in a way.
Gunnily enough, I'm moving to Portugal soon. Maybe we'll bump into eachother, who knows. As always, a lovely video Roman. ❤

I moved to Brasil 3 years ago, best of luck learning Portuguese, I look forward to hearing your improvement on saying Portuguese words in your future videos.
9:07 That is because of the Portuguese Empire and its collapse. Many went to Portugal for better opportunities when the Empire collapsed. in 1950's Portugal converted all its colonies into provinces that had the same status as the provinces in Portugal. When the former colonies choose independence, the economies went to hell and many went to work in Portugal since they spoke the language.

Welcome to portugal man!
Hope you feel at home!
A lot of the similarities stem from the fact, that Portugal was for many decades the poorest country of Western Europe (Greece has taken over the "lead", if we consider it Western Europe in Cold War terms). Even in the early 2000s, during mass immigration from Central/Eastern Europe to the UK, Portugal had the largest % of citizens living in the UK (!). Right now Portugal is just behind Poland, Czech Republic, and just ahead of Croatia, Hungary, Estonia by GDP per capita PPP.
I also wouldn't put so much blame on the Salazar regime, neighbouring Spain had the Franco regime, pretty similar in style, and both fell roughly at the same time.
Its the language...
You can blame BOTH Franco and Salazar.
Why we can’t blame salazar? He isn’t the only reason but one of them, even “modern” politicians are the reason we are behind they all know the ours problems and solutions to help but them they would all lose their cow machines, like how telecommunications are already saying theres no space for digi😂
@@santostv. On social media we have to keep comments short. What I meant was that if Spain is doing noticeably better than Portugal in a certain category, then there are probably other reasons than only Salazar, since Spain had the same type of dictator. But of course many problems, including those of economic development, that Spain and Portugal share, can be attributed to Salazar and Franco as the main reason.
I think Croatia surpassed Portugal recently. Wonder what is the reason for such slow economic progress
I saw a geography youtuber drew durnil make a video on the same topic its interesting that Portugal is very similar to Eastern Europe
Isn’t he a paradox TH-camr 😭
Do you really want to understand how Portugal is actually still Eastern Europe? Portugal has the oldest classical Communist Party in the world still active with elected members in parliament and some cities governed by Communist mayors, mainly south of the River Tagus. In one of these municipalities, Seixal, about 15 kilometres south of Lisbon, the festival of the Portuguese Communist Party, PCP, Festa do Avante, is held every year in the town of Amora. This festival is basically like going back to the Soviet Union of the 80s. There are political rallies, concerts by well-known artists and cuisine from all over the country. And the few communists who still exist in Portugal.

As someone who's been going to Portugal every year for my entire life, I find the trans map to be VERY questionable
I don't think the question was properly formulated. 99.9% of Portuguese have their opinions but also a strong live and let live attitude
@@johnny_eth It's a loaded question
Me too. The same about prejudices against mixed-race mariages while Portugal has a huuuuge tradition in this field. Lots of "studies" are nonsense, anyway.
@@Mpl3564 Notice how almost none of them have any sources cited?
I think we just have a live and let live attitude so strong it applies to, even, our prejudices. There's even a saying, translated "Your freedom ends when another person's begins".
Not to defend him, because it's indefensible, but my father, for example, has issues with gay people, but raised all three of us without these, all of us siblings support them. So it's a form of double-think, he dislikes some things, but will defend them simply because it's a persons right to exist as they truly are. So in anonymous surveys, these backwards views show, but in lived life it's mostly fine.

There’s an Anglo-Portuguese Alliance that goes back all the way to 1386. Yes, that long.
The English fucked the Portuguese over quite a few times, I never understood why people call it the longest alliance, sure they helped at Aljubarrota and later on, but modern relations did not seem too beneficial for Portugal.

As a Turk allow me to explain the black people thing. In Turkey of course we have racism but these are mostly towards 3 people Arabs, Greeks and Armenians. We dont have skin color racism. In fact most of the Africans are seen as the best immigrant types however as time goes, due to economic collapse thanks to you know who, we are going to become even more xenophobic.
The inevitable result of unregulated immigration and huge refugee waves. Once you can't vet the troublemakers out of people who come from underdeveloped countries those troublemakers will cause problems and commit crimes which in turn will turn the locals hostile and no one can blame the people for feeling that way. I am in just 5 years ago all this wouldn't be seen possible but once you cross a limit and abuse people's hospitality this is just inevitable and this applies every country,nation or community known to man. Even after this though the reaction of the locals are not on the level of western communities. They like to act liberal,welcoming and diverse but they have some of the most controlled borders and insane vetting processes known to man and btw they are fully justified in all this so I am not criticizing it. I just wish they stop being hypcorites about it and defend the thing they avoid against us.
I'm a white guy in the U.S. so, naturally, I suffer from "everyone is Mexican" syndrome.
I hear Spanish( or Portuguese, which sounds spanish to me) I expect tacos or paella.
What does Portugal actually eat?
Paella is Spanish, not Mexican. In Portugal, we have a big variety of food, but we're mostly known for our seafood, and some of our most traditional dishes are made with cod fish. But we also have great dishes with meat (which I don't eat anymore, but I do miss eating those). Feijoada is one of my favourites. We did benefit from the spice trade and all the exchanges from other people and cultures. Also, even though I can understand Spanish almost perfectly, and the languages are indeed quite similar, their accent is very different than ours (bot portuguese and brazilian).

Now I understand why I'm having so much difficulty finding a house in Portugal as I'm Portuguese :(
I didn't know about this company... thanks for the information
Note: Before coming to Portugal I already followed your channel and I love your videos :)
I hope you have a great day :D
Dude, McDonald didn't open in Portugal until 1991 for a very different reason than people may think:
The Portuguese love their food and they have awesome cooking skills and lots of bars where you can eat. Just as in Spain. McDonald didn't see a chance there.
As a portuguese, I really doubt that's the real reason, nice weird flex though 😂.
My 5min search led me to believe the main reason has to do with the prices of establishing the business here in relation to how much people could actually spend here at the time...
But i do agree, who needs a big mac when you've got Bitoque and Bifana.
Iirc, we also had quite socialistic qualities to our fledling republic post-revolution, which were only ironed out and market-liberal policies were adopted once we started the process to enter the EU in the mid 80s, which ig eased the process of foreign chains established franchising here
McDonald's have cooking skills too 😂

Hope you're doing well, Roman!
Awwwh, so sweet, you already know how to say 'Caralho'! 😍
We're proud of You, Roman! 💪
You know how I know Portugal is Eastern European?
If you fly from the furthest eastern portion of Russia, over the U.S., continuing EAST over the Atlantic. Which country to you hit first?
Portugal.
Blammo.
Don’t even get me started on how shoes prove the world is flat.
You wouldn't even come near the US if you fly from eastern point of Russia to Portugal, you'd go straight across the north pole. 😂
Keep at it bro. I am proud to see how far you have come, you totally deserve it!
And don’t know where you got your info from but the first MacDonalds opened in Lisbon around 1987, 1988. I was 12 and I was there.
As Czech I must say that once I had customers in the shop and I heard them speaking clearly Czech but even though I focused more and more I couldn't understand the word. And then I found out they are actually Portuguesse family speaking Portuguesse.
And now I am mind mingled again since Russian accent is pretty different from Czech one and yet you claim that Portuguesse sounds pretty Russian. MIndblowing! :D
Honestly, I think that while the Czech and Russian accent differ, on an international scale they're quite similiar, or that is atleast what most people would think.
@@lilnunu1553 For third party it could sound so but as Czech I can hear the difference clearly. I can easily recognise even slightest Russian accent within any language. Understand me, please - I grew up during occupation and still many Russians and Ukrayinians here since then - and even more now when RF is invading UA again - so I am constantly trained on that skill. But from those Portuguesses I've heard clear Czech accent. And Czech modulation is pretty different from Russian for me (even though I can't tell so easily if Moscovian or Ukrayinian or Belarussian). So that fact is still pretty weird to me! :D
11:56 so much. Here in Tallinn I constantly think people are speaking Portuguese but it's just Russian.
I got so used to this that when I actually overheard Portuguese, I was so confused.
Yes, the melody is similar, I understand Portuguese and sometimes I think that’s what I hear when russians speak and it’s muted
Both languages do put emphasis on different syllables, which might lend to that perception of similarity in flow or melody
I speak Brazilian Portuguese, and when I heard two young ladies speaking European Portuguese at the Manhattan hotel I was checking into, I eagerly started conversing with them. They responded in English that they didn't understand me. I asked if they were from Portugal, and they said, "No, Poland." *head desk*

How is it that handwashing after taking a dump isn't 100%, like, everywhere??? In my culture (African-American) we have a word for people who don't do that, it is "trifling" or, more precisely, "triflin'". Don't ya'll have moms and aunts and grandmoms to tell ya'll she better hear that water running before you come out dat bathroom, when you were kids? And before you close the door, to remind you, 'Soap AND water!'
At work, someone observed a guy not washing his hands after taking a piss. It's been a few years but people still talk about it and won't shake his hand. Always wash hands before leaving restroom or people will talk about you.
It comes down to family then, if you are not from a good family, they dont teach you. I dont know about portugal, but because eastern europe was so backwards, during soviet times, there was a lot of teaching from state. In many ways state took over parenting even for adults, there were campaigns how to do this and that, so uncivilised people adopt those new habits, especially because there was a massive boom in urbanisation and rural people were not on the same level as people in cities.
Some people don't use soap to wash hands. I use shower gel, some use alcohol based cleaners 🤷♀️
I've not had a bath for 6 years 😅 but I shower every day 😉
Oh my God I never thought I'd see the day where someone explains the word "triflin" to a wider audience 😂
What do gou think of the fact that many Europeans aren't okay with their children marrying a black person?
Can you show us the most important tourist destinations in Portugal and maybe even travel to Madeira/Azores? 🙏
Slovenia mentioned, have to comment, you plan to visit sometime? Lol don't know what you'd come to see but would be cool
Waiting for the language video 😅 This was hilarious 😂
Curva means 'turn' in portuguese (поворот). Sounds just like slavic "kurwa"
You can also use it to tell someone to "take a hike" (dar uma curva), so it's still win-win.
Not just sounds like, the origin of Slavic word kurva is in the latin than german word curve.
"Kurwa" means "puta," but it's used a lot like a generic curse word and often like punctuation in a sentence.
it's fun that you are in Portugal now, with or Brothers across the ocean. Nice place BTW, have to go visit more. Good that you are leaning Portuguese, take a look about history of Portugal and Brazil later.
As a westerner Portugal is the country I know the least about, which is so strange, because it isn't like the were a nobody as a country overall. I could not tell you much of anything as to what to do in Portugal, but because of you Roman, I am learning.
To be fair, Portuguese sounds pretty Russian accent-wise at times.
It does, I understand Portuguese and sometimes when the tv has been on and I only herd the ”melody”, I thought it was someone from Portugal speaking but, no, a russian
No it doesn't, it sounds Spanish more than anything else.
@@ADVENTEvokerNo it doesn’t LOL. Portuguese and Spanish are actually pretty different
@@ADVENTEvokerthey have a common vocabulary (about 80%), but the pronunciation is more close to a slavic language 😅
@@coldwar45 But still more similar than Russian.
If you actually look at the language itself and not loose sounds, that is.
I think, you just realize how alike Europe is, east and west. And that Russia is majorly influenced by Europe. Yes, in general, Western Europe is more wealthy, but Western Europe is not a glorious, mythical place, drenched in wealth, as much as Eastern Europe is not in shambles and ruins, where everybody is warming their hands over burning trash cans.
True
@@roddeazevedo Not so simple. Some of the places inside the "banana" have decaying industries for decades, such as Northern France, the South of Belgium and, increasingly, Northern Italy. On the other hand, some of the most prosperous places are outside (Austria, Bavaria, Scandinavia).
"curva" in portuguese means "curve", not "prostitute"... but yeah... portuguese use it like people from the balkans, but the meaning is totally different!!
Welcome to Portugal, Roman! We are happy to have you here. Hope you have a great time.
Brazilians wathing this: let's see our old brother
We are not brothers. Portugal is the father of Brazil.
Portugal is the father. Brasil is a Portuguese creation/production. Get your story straight.

@@Poraqui Are you that type of portuguese person, that takes history way too serious, and is getting mad over Brazil colonizing portugal now? lol
@@joeygrace2464 Colonization is an act imposed by one nation/human group onto another. Brazilians only enter and stay in Portugal because we allow it. As soon as migration policies change, as they are currently changing, towards being stricter, there's nothing that brazilians can do about it.
