The differences and the overall tension between both dialects reminds me A LOT of the difference between the French varieties spoken in Quebec and France. French people say that people from Quebec speak "wrong French" or are "incomprehensible", but most of the time, Frenchies don't even try to understand, or only say those things to feel superior. It kinda sucks, especially since languages exist to unite people, and not divide them. Oh also, I wonder if, like for French in Quebec, Brazilian Portuguese is actually a "lack" of evolution, which would make it closer to "real" Portuguese (it was a colony for a long time, after all, so it would make sense).
Great video, as always, I learned a lot! :)
@DelRubenSito There are many differences, but I don't think it's enough to make a whole video out of it. But he could do a video about "obscure" varieties of Spanish, like hispanic minorities in a non-hispanic country, if they have a particular accent/vocabulary.
@@MrKegg Yes, there are many evidences pointing towards the same history as Quebequois French. There are many poems by Luís de Camões, written in the 16th century, that only rhyme if read in Brazilian Portuguese, because of how the vowels are dropped in the European form. I wouldn't say it's a total "lack" of evolution, though, but that's it evolved in a way that is more similar to what it used to be.
Being mexican, I couldn't understand anything of what the portuguese person was saying, but a lot of what the Brazilian said.
Yea, the hole difference is that portugal and the other colonies got a lot of french influence while Brazil stayed like a close brother to spanish :D
Edit1: A lot of people have corrected me on this down in the comments and I want to clarify what I found out with more research:
The french/english influence in PT-PT didn't play as big of a role as I thought, although that influence did take place, the evidence points that the majority of the languages evolution occured natively. So, Portugal's and africa's vowel reduction evolved by themselves, it's not as black and white as just "french influence", sorry if I misguided someone ;)
Jajajajajaa no te preocupes. Nosotros brasilenos tampoco compreendemos lo que dicen Los portugueses.
Oi Maria. E o mais interessante é que por texto podemos nos comunicar melhor ainda. Os amigos mexicanos que conheci onde moro não conseguem me entender tão bem, mas fico feliz de encontrar alguém que consiga! Me sinto menos isolado linguisticamente! hahah
Soy brasileira, pero tengo un amigo portugués y a veces no compreendo ello, entonces pido para él hablar un poco más lento. Es normal... jajajajaa
@Cyber Ghost 🤣🤣 everyone mocks the chileans, pobres weones
Brazil be like: Estamos falando português
Portugal: 'Shtam'sh f'lar p'rt'gêsh
Edit: This is a just a dumb joke and I'm sorry if Portuguese folks are offended. I meant this in the most meaningless, no-bad-will, joking-around way possible. I actually prefer the dialects of Portuguese from Portugal. To Portuguese folks the Brazilian must sound like "Estaaamus falaeendu portugeeiss"
Not all Portuguese people speak like that. There is 3 layers of social backgrounds and depending on that, the accent will be more charged.
Quem mandou as palavras do português serem tão longas? as vezes da preguiça de falar
@@KellanGDM oh, that’s interesting. is this 3 layers thing a linguistic theory or just a personal opinion? what are the 3 layers?
Spot on
Brazilians be more like: "IsTAmus faLANdu poh-tu-gueeis"
I'll never forget my first time hearing Brazilian Portuguese. I was in New Orleans at a cafe, and I heard this gorgeous language being spoken by a group of teens. Because I know I little Spanish, I thought it a form of Spanish I had never encountered so I asked in Spanish where they were from. They didn't speak Spanish but they could understand it for the most part, but I had a very very difficult time understanding them unless they typed it for me to read. Anyways I fell in love with Portuguese right then and there!
Ficou feliz que vc gostou do português brasileiro
@@RAVERICK_011 todos os sotaques são lindos! Até o do sul que não dá pra entender nada
As a Brazilian may I say 'thank you"
I'm from Spain and I apologize to my Portuguese neighbors but Brazilian Portuguese sounds prettier to me. And I'm sure many of them prefer some variant of Latin American Spanish to what I speak, haha.
@@TheSeventhUrukHai Cosas de la vida xD
As a portuguese native speaker from Brazil, I’m so astonished of how accurate this comparison is, even to the point to cover the brazilian regional accents . What a great job, Paul!

As a Romanian speaker, the Brazilian variety is far easier to understand, but the European variety is very intriguing in the way it contracts words. Olá da Romênia, irmãos latinos 🇷🇴❤️🇵🇹🇧🇷
Vi um vídeo de uma menina Russa de 10 anos falando PT-BR pela primeira vez e parecia que ela tinha nascido no Brasil, era espantoso de ver.
Olá, irmão latino da Romênia, é um prazer ler seu comentário.
Hello, latin brother from Romenia, is a pleasure read your comment.
❤️
Be careful, many Brazilians do not like to be called Latinos, as this is a term that generalizes all cultures in South America, where most speak Spanish. But in Brazil we speak portuguese. What does not fit us in the "Latin" group, although Portuguese is also a language that comes from Latin.
@@rafael-mbc I didn’t refer to Brazilians as Latinos from Latin America, but as people of Latin descent, just like Spaniards, Romanians, Portuguese, French and Italians in Europe :)
@@Cris-hd1wb Yes I understood. I'm just warning you, so that you don't experience embarrassment.
I don't know Portuguese at all but I find the differences between European and Brazilian Portuguese pronunciations fascinating. I remember going on holiday to Portugal and was amazed how Eastern European Portuguese sounded. By contrast, Brazilian Portuguese sounds closer to Spanish or Italian and is to my ear more musical and pleasant to listen to.
@@marioferreira7605 ah, yes, Mario! You've hit on one of the problems of English not being an inflected language - it leads to confusion like this! I didn't mean to suggest there was something called 'Eastern European Portuguese', I meant that to me, Portuguese sounds Eastern European.
Makes sense, some regions in Brazil had a strong italian influence because immigration, in southern Brazil you find a lot of italian surnames. Exemple: Scollari, brazillian coach, Senna, Fitipaldi and Massa, F1 drivers, Bolsonaro, The president, and so on
It's interesting you say that since Brazilian Portuguese was influence by Italian as well (specially in the state of São Paulo).
Brazilian Portuguese has a Candace (musical almost) to how the word's are spoken that isn't found in European Portuguese
My friend Bianca was brought up in Rio G do Sul, in a very "Italian immigrant" region,,, now in Rio... she also studied 2 years in Coimbra...That must have been a change,,,like going from here in NZ to Kentucky, or Belfast N Ireland.
Little factoid: "você" comes from "vosmecê", which is already a shortening of "vossa mercê", equivalent to "vossa graça", which in English means "your grace".
my grandmother says "vosmecê" sometimes, I think it's very different
😱😱, fan fact in spanish : usted(you in a formal way )also comes from vuestra merced the spanish version of vossa merce
@@luismanuelreyesRD That is cool. The funny thing is that while usted is a formal way of calling someone, você is very informal.
@@wellesmorgado4797 em todos os casos?
@@weilaiyvn_DEACTIVATED Acho que sim. Jamais me ocorreria de chamar uma pessoa desconhecida de você. O Sr., Sra., etc, é usado. Você é coloquial mesmo.
european portuguese spelling: "excelente"
european portuguese pronunciation: "SHLENT"
This is not European Portuguese spelling, this is just Portuguese spelling.
Brazilian portuguese: EZELENTCHI
@@matiasguerra591 ecelentchi, actualy
Portuguese people: Who needs vowels when you can just omit them by talking fast...? (meanwhile we have lots of vowels sounds, because each of the 5 basic vowels can have many pronouciations + nasalization and diphthongs... XD)
Vocês estão discutindo isso. Precisam ouvir nós, Brasileiros do estado de Minas Gerais conversando. Ahahah
Well, we Angolans understand both perfectly lol
Nós mais!
Zezuais
Até onde conheço do português da Angola, ele é mais parecido com o de Portugal, mas tem suas diferenças, como a utilização do gerúndio
I would watch a video about Angolan Portuguese.
Sim
I speak no Portuguese at all but I can recognize Brazilian Portuguese quite easily. The way they speak is unique.
as in a good or bad way?
@@killherqueen in a good way 😀👍
@@pmarquisYT yay thank you :) 👍
@@killherqueen It's very sing-song, like Scandinavian languages.
It’s funny how the perceived “incorrect” BP “estou falando” is exactly how we say it in Spanish, “estoy hablando”
Being surrounded by hispanic countries probably has something to do with it
Portugal fought hard to get away from Spain, so we did our best to not be confused with it
@@nunomartins97 é por isso que eles são um país pobre e insignificante na Europa
same with americans vs british i bet
Italian has the same pattern as Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese: sto cantando, estoy cantando, I’m singing
English: I'm speaking
Spanish: Estoy hablando
Italian: Sto parlando
Brazilian Portuguese: Estou falando
European Portuguese: Estou a falar
Well I used both forms but it depends on the timeline of the action I use. If I'm speaking with someone RIGHT NOW, I say "estou a falar". If I'm speaking with someone regularly, from the past to the future, I say "Estou falando"
Japanese: 僕は喋っている。
In Portugal gerund is used for stuff that we don't really know when it will end. For example "estou a fazer o jantar" (I'm making dinner) "como vai o projeto? Vai indo." (How's the project? It's going.)
@@tpmiranda engraçadinhe kakkkkkk
@Mario are you a english speaker or something? cause yeah we actually say "vai indo" and I MEAN- it's totally normal around here (im br)
I'm Mozambican. Our accent is somewhere in the middle, so both Brazilian and Portuguese people can understand us perfectly.
Yes...true (at least for Portuguese we do)
I love the Mozambican accent! Love from Brazil ❤️❤️❤️

@Miguel Pimentel bjebifewbewfbiubiucs now im curious, i wish I could hear him speaking
as a portuguese speaker, i can perfectly understand any of our variations and every portugal language either, except for european portuguese ashiahsuahsua
I'm german and I'm honestly not quite sure about that, but I think that - if you want to learn Portuguese - the brazilian version is always being taught in Germany (because of the many native speakers of BP more than 220 million people, despite the fact that Portugal is geographically in a closer vicinity to Germany than Brazil).
European Portuguese sounds even much more harder to understand while being spoken than French. And I've studied French for almost an eternity by now and still would probably face major problems in understanding spoken EP.
Brazilian Portuguese phonology is much smoother and even its vocabulary seems easier to grasp to me at least.
We also have a german dialect in Brazil
Até para nós, brasileiros, é um pouco difícil entender o português de Portugal.
Ich bringe es dir bei

Impressionante como não teve nenhum erro, ele até explicou algumas variações de dentro do Brasil.
O trabalho desse canal é realmente impressionante
Na realidade até teve vários erros como o fato de dizer que em Portugal consideram incorreto o gerúndio ou que no Brazil o "tu" é conjugado na 3ª pessoa confundindo padrões locais da fala com aquilo que é a gramática.
@@daniy1426 In Brazil "tu" is conjugated in thrid person, but that´s not common in every parts from Brazil.
@@user-fm2ss9wd2m Its what I explain "tu" is 2º person of the conjugation in all Portuguese grammar no matter the country. The fact that in some places people conjugate in the 3º person is just a colloquial form of speaking.
@@daniy1426 tu é conjugado diferente em diferente regiões. Quem tende seguir o padrão são os gaúchos e alguns nordestinos. Catarina, por exemplo, é que conjuga tu na 3ª pessoa.
@@daniy1426 written language is different from spoken language. Like there was latin and vulgar latin. It being colloquial doesn't make it less grammatically correct. There is just no universally appropriately way to conjugate tu.

Se tiver dificuldade com o português, pode me adicionar: Vítor Camargo.
I'm Dutch, but I learned Portuguese from my dad, who is an immigrant from Portugal. I do get the impression that Portugese people generally understand Brazilians. I think it has to do with the fact that there is a lot of Brazilian media in Portugal. From a young age, I remember some animes aired on Portuguese tv with a Brazilian dub. Perhaps the studios wanted to save money and just thought that Portuguese people would understand it anyway. My nan also watches a lot of Brazilian telenovelas. I think this early interaction (at least partly) makes Portuguese people so familiar with BP, that they just consider it a wierd Portuguese.
Much the same with non-standard British accents. Brits find it easier to understand Americans, while Americans struggle with non-standard British accents. Though Standard American English and British English only really differ in a small number of vocabulary.
@@sarfaraz.hosseiniI’m a brit, and i’ve never had an American unable to understand me... Only time I’ve seen people have troubles are with scouse accents, which is fair because so do we 🤣
We Galician understand both perfectly as well, it's fantastic!

Eu amo ver gallegos falando, porque parece espanhol e português e isso te faz bugar achando que a pessoa escreveu deles más é só o idioma de vocês
@@Emersonunes o nosso grande problema é esse, português é o mesmo que galego, somente nomes diferentes para sotaques diferentes, e o castelhano influenciou-nos tanto que agora mete-mos muitas expressões ou frases do castelhano no galego. Mas os mais velhos falam idéntico aos portugueses do norte 😋

As a Dutchy who has been living in Rio de Janeiro for 8 years, I haven't been able to fully shed my gringo accent (and probably never will), but every Brazilian I meet who isn't from Rio notices my carioca pronunciation. I call myself a Holarioca.

Eu como brasileiro entendo com mais facilidade o espanhol da Espanha ( Madrid ). Na América Latina é uma bagunça, cada país com sua versão.
O sotaque brasileiro é facil pq a gente tem o sotaque dos hermanos.

@@kaiobritx1206 ???
I am an Arab, I love the Portuguese language from Brazilian dialect, because they melody in speech. If the last letter of the word is L, they pronounce u in a musical melody also. Noã what a beautiful pronunciation they have
I'm Italian and personally I find in BP more similarities with some Italian grammatical structures, i.e. estou+gerund. Besides paradoxically I understand better BP than EP because the former is syllable-timed as Italian... As a matter of fact I have some difficulties to understand EP because of the speakers' attitude to "eat" some vowels of the words. Finally I don't think it's right to say that Brazilian people speak a sort of mistaken portuguese, since for example in Italy we have a lot of regional accents and noone says that one is right and the others are mistaken. We should appreciate diversity...
😇🇧🇷 Deus abençoe a Itália.
I hear some dialects are getting dropped because of how international some places are(like Milano). That's such a shame...
The similarities with italian is probably because we got some words from the italian language as well considering there was an influx of italian immigrants at some point in our history! It might've influenced the language in some way :)
@@alquimistaprateado5372 muito obrigado!

7:35 "There is milk", translated to PT-BR, really is "Há leite", but we normally don't speak that way.
If you say "há" something, we will understand, but we will know you're not brazilian. We normally use "tem" instead of "há", verb "ter" instead of "haver". "Ter" is "to have".
So instead of "There is milk" we normally say "Have milk". Tem leite.
"There is" deve ser traduzido como TER. O sentido nesse caso não é de POSSUIR (have) mas de haver (there is/there are)
There are people: há gente, tem gente.
"Have people" não faz sentido.
@@thefelipevaldes verificado
Em Portugal tmb se pode dizer "tem leite no frigorífico"
That's a good example of how alike PT-BR/ PT-PT, and Spanish are. First, leite is "leche" in Spanish, if you say "hay leche" that just means, "there is milk," But, tiene is the same as tem (have) "el tiene leche."(he has milk." The words are so similar. I can understand spoken PT-BR because the vocabulary is very close, its the pronunciation of the PT from Europe that I don't get. BTW I'm Mex-Amer.
Désolée, but I couldn't agree less. I am Brazilian and I do say "há leite". This is a stereotype. It is a misconception to assume that Brazilians never use the impersonal verb "haver" and only use "ter", therefore, it is not correct to generalize that "if you say "há" something, [...] we will know you're not Brazilian," as stated in the comment that initiated this thread.
I might say, hypothetically, though, that it may be possible that people with a below-average level of common knowledge of Portuguese will NEVER use "haver", instead of "ter", the former being standard Portuguese language. This may be, hypothetically, a reflection of the educational quality in Brazil. It is no secret the problems Brazilians - especially and unfortunately, the poor - face regarding the quality and access to education.
According to UNESCO, "Quality and equity remain a crucial challenge in Brazil." Thus, some Brazilians MAY not know the standard language norm "haver" - because, unfortunately, they did not have access to such information - that "ter" is not an impersonal verb, therefore should not be used in place of "haver", particularly in writing, but only in colloquial communication.
But, as a teacher, I would never underestimate my students, and I would teach them to use "haver" - standard language - as well, "ter", because learning both will better prepare them to communicate with people from all walks of life.
I want to make clear, though, that the use of "haver", or any other standard language norm, does not imply, neither, a socially ideal idiom nor a culturally superior form of speech. Teaching standard language in schools is not intended to condemn or eliminate the colloquial language spoken with our family or community.
I don’t think a lot of people are getting it tbh,, personally, as a Portuguese person from the Açores, I can confidently say that there is no such thing as an incorrect dialect, or an incorrect way in speaking Portuguese. It’s a beautiful language from every country who speaks it. Even though European Portuguese is stress timed- and the words are in a way “mushed together” I think that’s what makes it fun. With Brazilian Portuguese, since it’s syllable timed, the pronunciation is more clear and concise. That’s why people find it more beautiful. But honestly love from a Portuguese person to each country that speaks Portuguese,, all of your dialects are gorgeous ❤️🇵🇹❤️🇧🇷❤️🇲🇴❤️🇦🇴❤️ 🇨🇻 ❤️ 🇬🇼 ❤️🇲🇿 ❤️🇸🇹❤️ (I couldn’t find a flag for East Timor unfortunately but I love y’all too❤️)
It is a happy attitude.

exactly. that's what i learned from a teacher at high-school here in Brazil. in a single state of our country we hear so many kinds of speaking portuguese. their are all clearly communicating to each other... how can we say their language is wrong?

That's true, no native speaker speaks their own language incorrectly.

Brazilian Portuguese sounds more rhythmic, almost like they are singing a song
As a Brazilian living abroad, I can attest to that, people of several different nationalities have remarked that we appear to be "singing" all the time when we speak
I've heard that quite a lot while in Hungary, now I finally get it, it's the syllabic rhythm rather than a timed one
I remember Simpson´s episode. The guy in flame said: I´am burning and dancing !!!
It´s because the brazilian portuguese it's more rhythmic and melodic. LOL
And here in Brazil people say the same for catarinenses
As a Portuguese i can tell you you are right but they made it worsei theis video by choosing a robot-dude for Portuguese speaking!!!
As a linguist from Brazil, in the field of Phonetics, this is really outstanding, especially because it's made by someone whose mother tongue isn't Portuguese. Not even Portuguese speakers know many of these rules (though we use them naturally in our speech), so it was a lesson even for them. Very nice.
Absolutely! Outstanding work 👏👏👏
Aê!!
I definitely agree with you Gabriel. This is an incredible work.
Yeah. I never really gave this a thought. I’m Brazilian btw

brazilian who's been to portugal here. besides pronunciation, there's a "logic" issue. portuguese people are literal and to the point and brazilians are more "metaphorical", so to speak. for example, if you ask someone from portugal if they know where some place is, they will just say they do. brazilians will tell you how to get there. if you ask brazilians if they have a watch, they will tell you the time. i was once at the lisbon airport, looking for the line for the connection to paris, and asked, pointing to the line: "is this paris?", the airport guy replied: "no, this is lisbon".
Hahaha... Legal!
Tava lendo alguns comentários de portugueses mais exaltados por aqui nos comentários e notei realmente que eles se irritam com nossos "rodeios"... Interessante.
no this is Patrick
I've got this friend that once went to to Lisbon and while in the taxi he asked the driver where he could find "pastéis de Belém". The driver replied "In Belém" 😂😂😂
@@Lucas-nq1dj ?
I wouldn't say literal, it's more of an irony thing, especially with the older generation. Also the way you approach people can make a huge difference. If you just just go up to someone you don't know and just say "moço" like a lot of people do in Brazil, you're probably not going to get a great reaction. It's one of the biggest faux pas I see Brazilians committing, I actually feel bad for them.
So basically, a Brazilian person could go to Portugal for the first time and hear people talking about prostitution and bribes while waiting for the bus?

As an English person who has learnt several Romance languages, including French, Spanish and Italian the Brazilian Portuguese way of constructing the present continuous (i.e. Estar + gerund) is consistent with many other Romance languages. The Portugal Portuguese construction of Estar + a + infinitive was a real shock to me when I saw it in this video.
Once I heard people from Portugal saying they study the gerund in schools and some regions of Portugal use them
@Gwynbleidd interesting. Clearly the Portuguese from Portugal has undergone influence from other languages, such as potentially celtic languages as mentioned by J. Smith above since the language was brought to Brazil. It’s very interesting indeed. I have a great difficulty understanding Portuguese in general, notably because I’ve never studied the language but also because it’s pronunciation differs wildly from other Romance languages. However, I find Brazilian Portuguese easier to discern where one word ends and the next begins, because it sounds more “sing-songy” compared to Portugal Portuguese where syllables tend to collide more with one another.
@J. Smith this is really interesting. Whilst I’m not at all knowledgeable about Celtic languages and their spread it kind of makes sense to me that they may have been Celtic influences on Portuguese given it’s “coastal” (I know not all of it is coastal) location and it’s proximity to the north of Spain where Basque exists and shares certain similarities with Welsh and other Celtic languages.
@J. Smith Oh my apologies. That is even more interesting. I had no idea that Portuguese had so many Celtic words. I would certainly have guessed French. Thanks for the very interesting information.
@J. Smith Wow that's really amazing! Didn't know about Portuguese having more Celtic words than French. Could you recommend me a book (or any media for that matter) for me to learn about those linguistics subjects?
Brazilian Portuguese sounds like music to my ears (kazak/russian/english speaker)

Which country are you from?
Yes, we are very melodic
This is what I came to say, it's so much more musical and expressive and fascinating to listen to. The Euro version sounds cold and miserable.
As a Spanish speaking person, I find Brazilian Portuguese way easier to understand. In fact, I can understand around 90% of written Brazilian Portuguese and can understand at least 50% by listening. The only thing is, when I listen to Brazilian news I hardly understand when they interview street people
In brazil many people use slang frequently which makes it difficult to understand.

I fell in love with Portugal when visiting in 2016 and I am currently learning EP. Thank you very much Langfocus for this outstanding explanation of the differences between EP and BP!
Wow, what are the things about EP that you find the most harder?
It's the first time I see someone describing EP as calm and smooth when compared to BP. Interesting. It's usually the other way around. I do agree with the "melancholic" part tho.
@@velocassiniHi! I think I've struggled the most so far in removing from my head the BP rythm or "musicality" (due to its bigger influence here), so I can learn the correct EP entonation. It's so important to get used to it as fast as possible! But this is really difficult when there are not enough examples in one's environment...
@@nathaliacardozo Yes, I've seen that! I think EP may sound less "happy" than BP, and certainly the "musicality" of each language has big influence in one's mood! Brazilians are considered here in Chile a bit loud and ready-to-party, so that's my (not so objective) reference, haha.
I'm Argentinian and this is like Spanish Spanish and Argentinian Spanish, they are similar but have some differences.
Also the Brazilian Portuguese is waaaay easier to understand.
As a Brazilian who speaks Spanish and English I can say that the Spanish and Argentinian Spanish is more similar when compared to the same effect in Portuguese. Obviously I realize the difference between your Spanish and Spanish from Spain, but to me, it is not so huge. If a Portuguese person talks to me fast, I would feel like listening to a Chinese 😂😂

Eu discordo só em uma coisa: o português brasileiro é melhor que o europeu huehuehuehue
Os países de língua portuguesa tem facilidade em entender o português brasileiro porque desde que nascem tem contato com conteúdos brasileiros: músicas e novelas. Estão familiarizados com o sotaque brasileiro e com as gírias e expressões.
O Brasil é um país muito fechado, a cultura dos demais países de língua portuguesa não chega até os brasileiros, por isso, é difícil entende los, não há familiaridade com os demais portugueses, seus sotaques e palavras diferentes.
Eu não diria que ele é "fechado", mas que até o momento houve pouco interesse comercial em importar conteúdo cultural dos demais países lusófonos. Não há lei ou barreira de fato que proíba a entrada desse conteúdo, então basta que alguém tenha interesse de investir e tentar ganhar uma fatia de nosso mercado.
@@LuizCesarBRAZIL ou seja, é fechado! Voce so destrinchou o termo...
@@lucasherissontrindade9888 Eu chamaria o país de fechado caso houvessem barreiras não naturais (leis, monopólios, etc.) para a entrada em nosso mercado. Qualquer um pode tentar exportar conteúdo cultural para cá (músicas, novelas, livros, etc.), e o sucesso vai depender apenas de sua habilidade de marketing e da estratégia do negócio.
Nem diria que é por isso. Acho que é tão simples quanto o que ele disse no início do vídeo, EU PT é "stressed-language" e BR é "syllable-timed". Suponho que isto seja universal entre outras línguas com pontos em comum, onde quem fala "stressed" consegue facilmente compreender "syllable-timed", mas não vice versa (em EU PT também podes falar sem comer sílabas, tal como programas para crianças onde o narrador fala mais devagar, por exemplo, ou quando falas com um idoso para ele te compreender melhor).
Eu nunca consumi media espanhola (os canais de TV aqui só passam novelas BR, nada de Espanha), mas posso ir a Espanha e perceber 90% do que eles estão a dizer. Portanto não acho que seja disso.
Discordo, eles conseguem entender porque nós pronunciamos as vogais e eles também.
I really love the way Brazilian Portuguese sounds :)
Great video, once again! :) Having learnt Italian before Portuguese, I find the "estou falando/a falar" thing interesting. In standard Italian, one says "sto parlando", but in Romanesco (I mean the Roman dialect), they say "sto a parla(re)". I have never heard this to be an issue, so it's funny to me that Brazilian and Portuguese speakers make a fuzz about it.
i don't think Portuguese people make a reeeeal fuzz about it, but they can say Brazilians overuse the gerund form (sometimes it's true). Since I am a Brazilian who speaks romanesco (or romanaccio :P), at this point I got used to the infinitive form and forget to use the gerund...
@@NaraYoko Obrigado!
In the regions of alentejo and algarve it's used quite a bit too
The form "estar a falar" is recent, a Portuguese novelty; "estar falando" is used in some regions of Portugal too. On the other side, Brazilian Portuguese keeps a lot of accents and pronunciation used in Portugal 300 or 400 years ago which now have changed there. Probably Camões, the great poet of the Portuguese language, would be more comfortable listening to Brazilians. Cheers.

Estoy hablando: correto!, I'm speaking: correto! estou falando: "noooooossa!!! estão a falar incorreto!" 🙃
In fact, the gerund has always existed in Portuguese and is still used on the island of Madeira and in the south of Portugal. In other regions of Portugal, only older people say "estou falando" instead of "estou a falar".

O português brasileiro se tornou diferente por conta das inúmeras interações entre os Portugueses e outros povos como indígenas e africanos, que por terem pronúncias diferentes os fonemas foram aos poucos sendo integrados na língua, e é por esse mesmo motivo que existem palavras diferentes entre as duas línguas, mas mesmo assim tanto um Português, quanto um Brasileiro, conseguem entender o que o outro diz, o que essas diferenças causam para ambos no máximo é algumas risadas.
Oi! Hi lol
I'm super glad finding this video! Currently I'm learning BrPT via Duolingo but I've been growing up with hearing lots of EuPT, so I was constantly wondering what the full extent of the differences are
I gotta say that when it comes to talking and understanding I prefer BrPT but sometimes I do prefer how the words sound in EuPT
The result is that I may have an unholy mixture of both and I'm totally ready for both sides tearing me to shreds for it haha
The Portuguese language is beautiful in all its forms and sounds. Enjoy, we natives won't judge you for mixing the two, it's actually great!
As a bilingual person (I grew up speaking both English and Spanish), to be honest, Brazilian Portuguese is A LOT easier for me to understand and to attempt. I am currently learning French, which has been difficult at the beginning, but not so much as I continue to learn it. It is the stressed-time syllables that makes it difficult for me to comprehend Continental Portuguese, something very similar to what happens in French. Once I am set with French, I will learn both Italian and Portuguese, and it may end up being the Brazilian variety.

As an American who has lived in Brazil, I find Brazilian Portuguese a beautiful language and European Portuguese harsh. When I first heard European Portuguese, I thought it was Slavic (I knew it wasn't Russian because I know enough Russian to distinguish it wasn't).
I'mm brazilian and everytime I meet a portuguese outside of portugal, at first, I think it's russian but then I think ''why can I understand russian?'' then I realize it's European Portuguese.. happens EVERY time
@@Rafael-xu9cn Phonology is pretty similar between these languages. I'd recommend the video Paul mentioned where he compares the pronunciation of Portuguese and Russian.
@@Rafael-xu9cn It's because European Portuguese is very rich in consonants and vowels, like all Slavic languages. That's where the similarity ends. On the opposite side, Italian and Spanish have quite a basic set of consonants and vowels, especially Spanish.
@@Sergiovision The amount of consonants and vowels in Brazilian and European Portuguese is roughly the same.
@@FelipeSantos-qo6pq No, it's not. You don't have the closed E sound in words like cidadE, tristE, etc - you pronounce that like an I (cidadji, tristchi). Also, you don't pronounce the closed A (schwa) as we do.
my gf is brazilian (from recife) and she says that portugese people talk way too fast and they don't open their mouths enough, now I get why
That's is basically the major challenge to understand them. If they speak just a little slowly we can understand them just fine, minus some awkward, funny or embarrassing moments when words meaning diverge so much.
They cut most of words and they're more "introvert" speaking, we speak way more clear in generar.

I am Portuguese, I married a Brazilian woman, and I have lived in Brazil for more than 18 years.
Except for very few regions, I have no difficulty understanding Brazilian Portuguese. Paradoxically, I have more difficulty understanding European Portuguese in some areas, such as the Azores, than Brazilian Portuguese.
On the other hand, people have little difficulty understanding me, and it is enough to speak louder to make myself understood when this happens.
Curiously, black people and indigenous tend to understand me better than other people who are not descendants of the Portuguese. I realized that the number of generations that speak Portuguese associated with that person is connected with a better understanding, among other factors.
In some regions like Brasília, there is no problem at all.
I'm beginning to learn Portuguese on my own. As a french native speaker, the Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation is way easier for me to understand and speak. But as I live in France i feel like it would be smarter to try to understand and learn the European Portuguese pronunciation. The struggle is real lol

As a native French speaker and Portuguese learner, the differences between European Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese kind of reminds me of the differences between European French and Québécois French
Likewise, there are such differences between European English and American English and European Spanish and American Spanish (Spanish spoken in Latin America).
Which portuguese are u learning?
I agree! I’m Brazilian and lived/ studied in Quebec for a few months and the difference is real. However, I like both accents and think the Québécois French is more formal than the the EU-French. As a native speaker, would you make any distinctions and say they both speak “different languages” therefore different French?
@@pricadlo Actually, EU-French is much more formal than CA-French, as in CA-French they use 'tu' much more often (even with people you do not know).
The differences are many between the French spoken in the EU/CH and Canada/US, just as the differences as many between the Portuguese spoken in both Brazil and Portugal. But at the end of the day, it's still the same language.
@@pricadlo Demasiado Patrícia
As a native Spanish speaker who has studied Brazilian Portuguese for 4 years, I can clearly say that European Portuguese is way more difficult to understand. I have been to Portugal before, and I had to study the accent beforehand to ensure I could understand it. Vowel suppression, the "sh" sound of the "s", and the particular sound form of the combination of "ei" in European Portuguese are probably the biggest challenges for a Brazilian Portuguese student to understand. Nonetheless, I see both accents' value and have taught myself to use both. I will be sticking with Brazilian Portuguese, though. My girlfriend is Brazilian so I have more incentives to use it more often. Lol.

I took an evening class in Portuguese back in 2000. Our tutor had lived in Brazil, and so spoke the Brazilian variant. One of my fellow-students had a Brazilian girlfriend, others had their own reasons for wanting to learn Brazilian Portuguese.
Not me. Why? I am terrified of flying, and the only way a British aviophobe is going to speak Portuguese is in Portugal. So for that reason I opted to learn the European vocabulary (where there was a difference), and the European pronunciation. The rest of the class accepted my reasoning, although the tutor warned that if I spoke that way to any Brazilians they would fall about laughing and call me hopelessly old-fashioned. Sadly I have yet to visit Portugal and try out what little I learned, but one day - 'estou *A* esperar!'
I'm Brazilian and i have a couple friends from Portugal Europe, it's kinda hard to understand them without getting some immersion in the pronunciation, however, it's ironically very easy for them to understand us, writing is practically the same, and i find the Portuguese pronunciation very funny xd

O galego é muito parecido com o sotaque brasileiro
Na verdade, a Língua Brasileira e a Língua Portuguesa são diferentes.
@@italogiovanoni7543 ??? não existe língua brasileira xD existe português brasileiro
@@rubenitooo A Língua Brasileira tem base portuguesa, mas já é uma língua autônoma.
Amo esse canal, perfeito
I'm from Brazil and sometimes it's difficult for me to understand what people from Portugal are saying. In my case, that's mostly due to their pronunciation (I've never lived in Portugal, so I'm not used to their accent and some different words).
A nice thing to know: our written language is exactly the same in Brazil, Portugal and all the other Portuguese speaking countries, even though we tend to use different structures to write it. That happens because we have an orthographic agreement since 1990. Some older people hated that, because they needed to learn the new rules 😂
As an European Portuguese speaker I can confidently say that I can easily understand Brazilian Portuguese speakers; that may be because I, myself, speak a specific dialect of European Portuguese (S. Miguel island) but I never had any sort of problem understanding what Brazilian people were trying to say. They have a fascinating accent and are extremely nice!
Linda!
Formidável ler o que tu escrevestes.
Como eu disse, no comentário que fiz, as diferenças são mínimas e povos inteligentes buscariam o que tem em comum para celebrar uniões. Contudo, muitos de nós, preferem ater-se as diferenças e exercitar ofensas mútuas.
@Mariana Please, let me correct you. What you call a dialect is, in fact, a regional variety of european portuguese. In our national portuguese territory there are no dialects other than the mirandese dialect (mirandês), spoken in a small area in north-eastern Portugal. In the remaining parts of Portugal there is only european portuguese, of course with some regional varieties, but still european portuguese. As for the mirandese dialect, it comes from the ancient leonese-asturian language, a distinct origin from the european portuguese, which is, as you know, the galician-portuguese.
S. Miguel island
Yeaaaaaah :):):):):):):)
Now THAT'S a challenging accent, that's when boys are separated from men, :):):) that's when the things get tough and the tough gets going heheheeh
Search for this video of a fishermen: "Pescador de Rabo de Peixe GOGO Sao Miguel Azores"
That accent is not for babies, it's the ultimate level of difficulty and I LOVE IT :):):):):):)

Eu Adoro A Naifa e Deolinda.
As a Brazilian, I can say that I couldn't understand the Portuguese of Portugal very well a time ago, but after a month watching a lot of videos of Portuguese TH-camrs now I can understand perfectly well, I even like a lot of the Portuguese accent, it's different. A hug for our Portuguese brothers from Brasil 🇧🇷💛
Eu não consigo reproduzir o sotaque de Portugal mas é muito agradável de se ouvir.
De vez em quando me pego tentando imitar o sotaque da terrinha de Cabral! hahaha

Obrigado amigo! Abraço

Eu sou brasileiro, algumas vezes não consigo entender o português de Portugal, mas mesmo assim eu adoro ouvir eles falando. Eu amo ver a diversidade de cada idioma. O bom do português, é que consigo entender também o espanhol e italiano mesmo sem saber falar. Tem muitas semelhanças em certas palavras.
Eu fico impressionado com a precisão das informações que esse canal repassa aos inscritos. Como ele as adquire tão bem? Nesse vídeo por exemplo ele explicou perfeitamente as diferenças e até mesmo variações que ocorrem dentro do Brasil. Muito bom esse canal!
Sou dos Estados Unidos e estou aprendendo o português (do Brasil). Não entendi nada quando o cara do Portugal estava falando kkkk. Mas é muito interessante para mim a aprender sobre as diferenças. (Desculpe pelos erros se eu errei).
Im from the United States, and I’m learning Portuguese (from Brazil). I didn’t understand anything that the guy from Portugal was saying lol. But it’s very interesting for me to learn about the differences. (Sorry for the mistakes if I made any).
Don't apologize for mistakes. You're learning another language and that in itself is awesome. Seu português é perfeito, aliás.
@@maxobino2753 Muito obrigado!
Concordo! Parabéns! Está tudo correto na frase acima!
Seu nível está muito bom, parabéns. Se quiser treinar ainda mais, pode me chamar
Excelente muito bom, seu português uma maravilha nota 10 para você.
Muito bom o vídeo!!! Parabéns pelo excelente trabalho!
Oi professora :D
Professora, que bom ver você aqui!
Oi professora Marcia... bom dia....
professora marciaaaa 😍😍
OIIII PROFESSORA MARCIAAAAAA QUE BOM ENCONTRÁ-LA AQUIII
Oi :)
Como formado em Letras, achei super interessante essa abordagem. Ainda mais porque não entra na questão da gramática normativa da língua (aquela que a gente é forçado a aprender na escola e muito atrasada) e sim numa visão mais pragmática, analisando as formas de linguagem quanto ao uso. Analisar as diferenças sem julgar uma de errada e outra de certa produz muito mais.
Gostei muito do conteúdo do canal, explicou as variações de forma perfeita, parece conhecer muito sobre as variações linguísticas do Brasil! Abraços
As a Spanish second-language speaker who lives in Spain, I always assumed that European Portuguese would be slightly more comprehensible than Brazilian given Portugal's proximity to this country. But since the pronunciation in Brazil is more similar to Spanish, I think it would be far easier to learn that variety. The grammar also seems more similar based on what you said in this video.
Lembre-se que o Brazil é rodeado por 11 países que falam espanhol. Então não é estranhos falarmos mais parecido com o espanhol
Is it possible that since Brazil is mostly surrounded by Spanish-speaking countries, Brazilians' speech and pronunciation was heavily influenced by Spanish?
@@andyjay729 Portugal is also surrounded by Spain so I don't think that's the case.
@@andyjay729
Brazil has not received a significant immigration of Spanish speakers in any part of the country (perhaps in the south), and they do not influence our country much either. Phonetically and maybe grammatically the Portuguese spoken in Brazil is closer to the Portuguese spoken 500 years ago, when it was much more similar to Spanish than it is today.
@@andyjay729 There is also the fact that most of the Brazilian population historically lives in the east coast, very very far away from the Spanish speakers in the west coast, so I don't think there was much contact.
I started learning portuguese to be able to talk to my boyfriend's family (he's brazilian). I find the Brazilian dialect easier to understand BUT harder to pronounce as a German native speaker. Nasal vowels are a huge problem, as high German has non.
Hallo, brasilianisches Portugiesisch ist kein "Dialekt", sondern eine Sprache.
@@paulacorrea6469 no it is not its a variety of portuguese just like people in Mexico speak a variety of Spanish. Or British English and American English
@@theGoldjey damn you cute as hell haha, I'm just learning Portuguese cause Im dating Portuguese girls who couldn't speak English very well .
@@HereGoesKevin that's a good reason too haha
Brazilian dialect? Only Portuguese!
To me, as a native English speaker and non-native, level B1 (Mexican) Spanish speaker, the differences are HUGE. European Portuguese is almost completely incomprehensible to me, while I can have a conversation with a sympathetic Brazilian even if they don't know any Spanish or English. That's a pretty unlikely scenario of course, but another more realistic situation is that I can understand enough of a Brazilian news report to get the gist, but one from Portugal may as well be delivered in Manchu for all that I'd get out of it.
Manchu lmao
