European Portuguese Pronunciation - 3 Sounds English Speakers ALWAYS Get Wrong! 

Thanks for explaining the phonetics. ÃO, ÃES, ÕES are tricky. I speak Brazilian Portuguese, and RR and R as the first letter sound like the English H, which is much easier than the European one; the French R is a lot like this, and it sounds Arabic-influenced. The final R in infinitives will have a different sound depending on which region a Brazilian or a Portuguese person is from. In standard Brazilian Portuguese it's lightly trilled. Foi uma lição muito fixe/legal. Obrigado/Valeu!

telling the exact difference in pronunciation between vowels with two or three different accents. Shortening things: Estás bem? All the way down to "Ta".

You need to record your remaining households and speakers to keep Filihrian going. Then expand it. Get universities to help. This has helped with keeping Cornish going and bringing it back from the brink. A Celtic language, like all Romance languages it has common roots in Italo-Celtic, the common root language of Celtic and Italic, from which Latin comes, and all Romance languages ultimately derive. Take the words for dog (a word of unknown origin which originally meant a particular breed of dog and which I would suggest may have been borrowed from the Georgian root dza- for dog, etc replaced hund (from which we get hound) in late pre-Norman Conquest Old English (which its speakers called "Englisc"). In Cornish this is ki (pronounced kee), cu in Scottish Gaelic, and cão in Portuguese, chien in French, cane in Italian, câine in Romanian. Spanish perro is thought to come from Iber. Liver is book in Cornish, which sounds very much like livro in Portuguese, doesn't it? Cornish Da means good or day. Dhb da is equivalent to Bom dia or hello in English (G'day or Good Day in Strine, Australian English). Cornish pluver, pen, sounds very much like the French la plume, much closer to it than the Portuguese caneta. There are a few common borrowings from ecclesiastical Greek. Take the Greek word Eklesia (which has a derivation from a word meaning a gathering, with its own roots in ex- or ek- (out of) and lesia related to laos, the people and legion (a large group of people). From ecclesia, church, we get the Welsh eglwys, Cornish eglos, the Portuguese Igreja, French église, Italian igreja. The Romanian for church biserică derives from the Latin basilica which, in turn derives from the Greek basilici, with its roots in Basileus, the king or emperor, being the place where the king or emperor is worshipped or glorified. I wish you every success in preserving and expanding your language, Filihrian.

@@adrianwhyatt1425 thank you. Its a lot of wordsin our vocabulary but here are few of them: Dan che: thank you (may came from german word danke) Educatsi: education (may came from words like spanish educacion or latin/italian educaci) Faciel: face(or facial) came from portuguese facial same meaning Fater: father (may come from the spanish word padre or pater in greek) Meis/mech: me/mine (came from vulgar latin Mio, spanish Mi, portuguese Meis, qnd english Me) Cotsei: car (came from spanish coche) Im planning on creating another channel specifically for the purpose to educate the young and the old. And hope to connect to all you one day in a virtual interview or something. Bless you!

Hahhaa now you know!! Thanks cowork buddy!!

Look up *Ruffles have Ridges with Porky the Pig* That's how I learned how to trill the R for Spanish.

Thank you! You too!

Interesting!

So hard! You need to make sure that A is nasal!

​@@TalktheStreets Think of Sarf London (which has the biggest Portuguese communities in it, incidentally). And then cross it with cockney!

Eheh, so hard!!

Faltou-te a "garrafa": o rato roeu a rolha da garrafa do rei da Rússia. 😉

@@module79l28 yeah 😁 já corrigi

kkkkkkk

Glad you enjoyed!

I have no ideia what is orthodox liturgie... but in Brasil some people wrongly assume the 2° person of the singular is a posh way, or anciant, or formal way of speaking when is quite the opposite A similar thing happens in Portugal *but* with the 2° of the plural. People that daily use "vós" in the North of Portugal use it as an informal way of speaking with more than one person, yet most Portuguese assume it's the formal way But... the use of "vós" became formal to adress *one* person, that's why you see it in the Bible and probably in ancient letters... when did this happen? I don't know

@@lxportugal9343 The first rule in Orthodoxy is to use the most accurate form. If there are two equally accurate forms, then the most ancient form still readily understood is preferred. For informal or intimate you (singular) in English this is thus "thou", or in the possessive form "thy", etc. In Portuguese "Tu" and "ti" etc. "Vós" is thus reserved for a genuine plural. It should be noted that the more ancient forms - the same as the (Catholic) Orthodox from which the Romanists' split 🪓 in 1054 (the "Reformation" was a further splitting off - splits from a split if you like - largely in the 16th century, though with a few earlier splinters such as Jan Huss) - is still in use by conservative Romanists (and "Protestants") in most languages, though evidently not in Portuguese, at least in the dominant Latin rite in use in Portugal. There are a number of videos on RU-vid in Brazilian Portuguese which discuss the differences between Romanism and Orthodoxy. There are also a few which discuss the differences between traditionalist True Orthodox Christianity which I adhere to, which rejects concelebration with those who hold other beliefs, and the (Ecumenist) "World" "Orthodoxy" of the "member churches" of "the World Council of Churches" who concelebrate with clergy of other faiths.

​@@lxportugal9343"vós" is use in relation to "você" singular and "vocês" plural.

@@katokaoula4872 I don't understand

@@lxportugal9343 you can use vós as a substitute for vocês, so a plural form. Used in its singular form, its uber formal and only used in religious ceremonies.

So glad you enjoyed! -se could be good for a future video :)

Either is good glad you found what works for you!

@@TalktheStreets im slowly improving. for now i have issues making phrases but i now can read and listen to portuguese well

It varies across the country, you will hear more trills in the North!

@@TalktheStreets its actually more rural vs urban, and young vs old.

I'm Portuguese and I use both, and it's kind of random. Depends on the musicality of what I'm saying, maybe.. Then again, my father was from the north of Portugal and my mother's family was from southern places... So, maybe it's just me.

I don’t know about Catalan, but I do speak Italian, so I know that the “lh” is definitely identical to the “gl”. So “filho” = “figlio” (though the “o” at the ends of these words is pronounced differently). Also, I’ve studied enough German to be able to recognize that “rr” = “ch”. The sound is also basically like a French “r”.

Yes , 'LH' is considered to be the same as the Catalan 'LL' ot the Italian 'GL'. The same sound may occur in Galician, Astur-Leonese as well as in certain varieties of Castilian and Occitan. The 'RR' (trilled) in Euro-PT may have two realisations: uvular (similar to 'Parisian French') or alveolar (similar to Castilian or Italian). Pick your choice!😊 Intervocalic 'R' is similar to that of Castilian or Italian.

Some people just don't have very strong Rs! Also depends where this is in Portugal, as the accent changes :)

might be a brazilian, there are many living in Portugal

Les sons français sont difficiles. Le portugais européen semble avoir des influences françaises.

@@bhutchin1996 Oui. Les voyelles nasales sont similaires au français, en particulier les dyphtongues qui sont aussi très présents dans le français québécois.

Read tbe classics of Portugal literature, maybe?

@@lxportugal9343 I'm thinking of structured materials on RU-vid etc. Found a tiny bit of C2 Grammar in Brazilian Portuguese. Nothing in European Portuguese.

​@@adrianwhyatt1425 I suspect that C2 grammar in Brazilian Portuguese is not the same as what we would teach in Portuguese Pt C2 grammar for foreigners. I'm not a professor, but I think this would qualify as C2 material: "Cuidado com a língua" in RTP Arquivos

@@lxportugal9343 Will have a look at it, but there's explicitly C2 material for other languages. I'd just like to see some for European Portuguese!

@@adrianwhyatt1425 Have you watched already? What do you think of it?

No. It's not. Try doing the l with the back of your tongue for the lh, and the same for the nh but with an n.
