I was really lucky to meet some of YOU guys the Portuguese geograpeeps in Lisbon with my mom and the experience was amazing. Portugal is relatively small but left a HUGE global mark even they probably didn't see coming. Enjoy this episode, #PORTUGAL!
Yep, tea and marmalade. The portuguese were the first people to approach the nowadays very common practice among drug dealers; offer some of the good stuff for free, get them hooked, then sell it to them bc you're the only one that has access to it! :P
Demasiado interessante este seu comentário, ele demonstra palavras de alta complexidade que apenas poderiam vir de uma pessoa com um grande intelecto, digno de ser notado por outras pessoas e de receber elogios, ah e eu já ia me esquecendo, o conteúdo desta sua mensagem é sensacional!
Como um estrangeiro que começou aprender português há quase três meses, eu completamente concordo com vocês. Estou usando esta chance para exercitar meu português escrevendo estas palavras inteligentes e complexas e procurando atributos para descrevê-las. Tenho prazer em fazer isso com as pessoas reais.
@@lazar_rad Realmente meu companheiro estrangeiro, não há maneira melhor de se exercitar uma língua do que praticando ela com pessoas reais, tenho que dar meus elogios, pois não é qualquer um que absorve a língua portuguesa em apenas três meses (ao menos creio eu), ainda mais quando se é um eslavo, mas desde já tenho que ressaltar que você trás a tona um assunto muito interessante, às famosas palavras complexas, não há nada melhor do que lembrar da "pneumoultramicroscopicossilicovulcanoconiótico" ou da "Paraclorobenzilpirrolidinonetilbenzimidazol", e como iria me esquecer da "Piperidinoetoxicarbometoxibenzofenona"? Realmente, em cada uma dessas palavras há uma grande carga linguista que apenas uma pessoa intelectual poderia pronunciar.
@JocaPT O Senhor até tem preguiça em ler e acaba confundindo 3 meses com 3 anos.Por acaso e impressionante,como é que em 3 meses o Senhor vladimirovitch ja sabe falar melhor do que eu Português de Portugal.
The reason Spain is UTC + 2 is because back when Spain and Germany were fascist, Franco changed their time zone to Germany's as a sign of friendship, and they never really changed it back
The thing with the time zone: It's not Portugal that is strange in that regard, it's Spain. Because Spain also used to be on the same time zone as Portugal which really makes sense geographically. But during the fascist Franco regime Spain decided to move one hour ahead to be on the same time zone as Hitler Germany and stayed there ever since.
Yeah and the thing is that we also had daylight savings time until this year and everyone hates that. Thankfully we won't have DST hour change next year.
Fun fact: In some European languages, orange is called "portukal" because it was introduced by Portuguese merchants. Also in Arabic it's called "burtukal" for this reason.
Ooh, I love language trivia! Another Lusophone tidbit is the fact that the Portuguese word for tea, chá, is of Asian origin and not European (it's usually just some variant of "te" for the other Latin languages), due to, surprise, all of their early trading with the Japanese. The word "chai" is of course a descendant of the Chinese "chá 茶", which means that we've all been saying "tea tea lattes" this whole time like a bunch of MORONS.
@@GiantPetRat Many people think that the word tea come from the chinese word thai. But it don't. The word tea come from the portuguese queen of england that introduse tea in England. She loved to drink tea at 5 o'clock, so when she moved to England, she take with her a large wooden box with a lot of tea, and in that box they write "Transporte de Ervas Aromáticas" (transport of scenty weeds) and the servants don't know to read portuguese so everyday they say just the first letters from the box "the queen want her 5 o'clock TEA". Because she was the queen, people want to have tea with her, and that become a standart in high-society, and eventually a standart all across England.
@@almahperditae You are kidding right? There's no way it is that simple hahaha But i don't doubt, languages are strange, for exemple, in EUA, americans called the West in 1800s as Far West or Old West, in Brazil we still say "Velho Oeste" (Old West) to describe it, but Far West movies and other things realated to it, we call Faroeste, that is a rough way of saying Far West, i can only imagine one american talking about it, and some guys didn't understood that and begun saying Faroeste, hahahaha.
@@coreyjoaotaylor Actually I was pretty proud of when Greece won the Eurocup. I was pretty pissed off at my team constantly taking dives and trying to play dirty. Our Portuguese athletes should be better than that.
I am Korean... I have visited 21 countries so far.. Spain and the United States have visited twice But I have visited Portugal five times.. Portugal is very similar to South Korea.. It's at the ends of the East and the West, and it's a peninsula ..And the Portuguese are very kind and frugal. Portuguese food is good for Koreans. Maybe Korean food will suit Portuguese people🤗. Korean Love Portugal🇵🇹🇰🇷
Portuguese missionaries even introduced us vietnamese the latin alphabet so we dont have to study tons of chinese characters now for writing. Thanks for that :))
Portuguese missionaries: Here is the latin alphabet, enjoy. Vietnamese: All those letters need tiny hats. Portuguese: What the hell are you doing? Vietnamese: France told me I could.

Visit us her in Bragança!! We are kinda isolated but here is a very important cultural history of Portugal. We are always forgotten but one of the most active papers in the wars against spain was in Bragança and we actually have a lots of castles and ruins here. For example Vimioso has an special kind of history because Vimioso is kinda of a mountain nut the castle was situated downtown. So it was build an observatory (i dont know the english word) and from there you can see all the villages arround and you can see thru the spanish frontier!!

I visited Portugal in 2008 and i had a wonderfull time. Such a friendly people and i got the best spare ribs i have ever tasted. Huge respect from Denmark to the portuguese. Hope to come back after the pandemic 🇵🇹 🇩🇰
@@laudemara.b.1736 Na verdade, o português era falado por lá enquanto estava sob comando de Portugal (últimos 400 anos creio eu), porém quando devolveram Macau para os chineses houve uma grande migração para lá, o que acabou fazendo a maioria da população falar o chinês, atualmente poucos lá falam português, como por exemplo os mais velhos e às pessoas interessadas na língua, porém o português como língua é pouco utilizado por lá.
👍 Very true. I have Portuguese parents. I was born in Canada, but I love going to Portugal and never get tired of it. I also love speaking Portuguese more than English
YES CARALHO, ME TOO FROM PORTUGAL. Still u could have sent us more troops in the past to defend ourselfs from the spanish and french but we fkd them all up anyways. ggs
That is true, though the Portuguese did use them too, but credit belongs to Spain there. Spain was also the first European Power since the Collapse of the Roman empire to start using Blueprints for ship building.
Im not sure about that so please dont send hate to me but i think it was actually Portugal who onvente the galleon. Exemple.: Conquers in Africa and Asia were made with military ships so Galleons. An army that was send to intimidate India made with galleons. The invencible army made with 1/3 o portuguese ships was full of galleons.

I spoke Spanish in a bar in Lisbon, and after a moment of hesitation as they realized that I am not a Spaniard, the Portuguese there replied very friendly in perfect español.
Estúpido hablar inglés en Portugal cuando te entiendes perfectamente hablando español o portugués, o portuñol. Quitaos ese complejo de inferioridad, es absurdo que prefiráis que os hablen en inglés a que os hablen en español, cuando lo entendéis perfectamente. Eso tiene un nombre y se llama hispanofobia, y no digo más.
@@goodaimshield1115 If we Portuguese know how to speak English better than Spanish, why the hell should we speak in Spanish?! We're not servants of your language...
@@goodaimshield1115 lol se for assim vocês têm lusofobia! Quando o espanhol vai a Portugal a falar espanhol a gente faz o melhor para o entender mas quando o português vai a Espanha só ouve "-ai no te entendo!" epah com licença! Dia 1 de Dezembro obtivemos a independência, a partir de aí não temos mais que entender a vossa língua. Sempre ouvi dizer " De Espanha não vem bom vento nem bom casamento". Mas que fique claro na tua cabeça que os portugueses não odeiam Espanha mas sim serem confundidos com ela... beijo grande
@@goodaimshield1115 its not that of an absurd that we prefer an universal language to a near country language. We learn english on school and there are few people who learn spanish. Not everione understands spanish and its not an inferiority complex. We are VERY PROUD of Portugal that always fought (against spain) for its independence and always won. We DO NOT FEEL INFERIOR, we just dont like people who feel superior. Thats all.
@@imaanzehra8403 And it was well done, not because of fascism, but that timezone gives us our unique lifestyle. We start dinner from 9 to 10 pm, sun still shining (while not in winter), and we love it.
@@DoubleAAce Well, you actually did. During the Peninsular War your generals and troops came to "aid" us, but ended up ocuppying the country for some years and stealing some of our treasures. Either way, we shouldn't also forget your help against the Spanish during the succession crisis (XIV century), especially in the Battle of Aljubarrota, so I think we have a love-hate History...
@@DoubleAAce actually you couldnt loll cause spain would have turned on england just so that english didnt have any actual power over the peninsula iberica < 3 wich is funny its like two brothers always fighting but when someone else joins both turn on them
@@qwertyuiopasone3053 Portuguese brought Tea from India to the British. It was the first contact with tea by the British. So Portugal addicted British with tea, than Britain became obsessed with India.
Love Portugal from Germany ☺️ especially the raw beauty of the west coast 🥰 Portuguese people are also my fav Southern Europeans cause even though they can definitely party, they also tend to be more quiet and melancholic which is easier to handle for me than Greeks, Spanish and Italians 😬 sorry
I love it too, but since there are soo many Germans commuting (am Donnerstag Abend sitze ich normalerweise schon im Flieger:-), visiting and moving to Portugal, what I hear from s o m e Portuguese perspectives is this: "good for you, that you enjoy our more introvert and sensitive culture, but for us locals you come across just as similar to those Greeks, Spanish and Italians you try to avoid ("often those Alemão are the loudest, but without the humour and sensitivity of those other Mediterranean countries"🙂.)
Much love to Portugal 🇵🇹 from Macau, your last colony 🇲🇴 The Portuguese left a good legacy in our small city, it was very sad in 1999 for many Macau people. We hope that your country is doing well in this virus times 🤗🤗
Italy: fought since Roman times France: fought everyone surrounding them...and even themselves Spain: fought their British rivals, themselves and the Turks/Muslims Romania(and its principalities): fought against Hungary, Poland, Mongols, Russians and Turks...and occasionally themselves Portugal: always fought and won against the seas...by themselves
Portugal fought the Ottomans over naval dominance in Asia and had major conflicts during the Age of Discovery. As mentioned in the video, Portugal had to fight Napoleon and with the aid of British archers they were victorious. 3 times Napoleon tried and all 3 he was unsuccessful...The only other country I can think of that pulled off such a feat must be Russia.
We have Portuguese descendants community here in Malaysia(mostly in Malacca) and they still keep all their cultural values to flourish. These peeps are part of what my country is now and, sending lots of love from us to yall in Portugal💕
@azref Yes! The Kristangs! Love the Kristang language ando how they mantain portuguese culture merged with Malasian culture 💖 Love you guys! Thank you so much for your comment!
1:40 it's actually Spain following the wrong timezone, they were in the same as UK and Portugal, but then Franco decided to change and adopt the same of Germany for his friendship with Hitler
@Carlos Saraiva Actually most Spanish have a huge respect and love towards Portugal. I'd even go as far as to say it's by far one the most loved countries in the entire world by the Spanish. I wish that feeling were mutual, but unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case.
@@donpipetas1717 I think there's a lot of misconception there. While I feel there's a fraction of the population that dislikes España, I think the vast majority like to have a neighbor like you. Speaking for me, I go there as many times as I can, love the country and always feel at home. Viva la Peninsula.
@@maarkkes9618 you can find haters on both sides of the border but they are a minority. Portugal and Spain get along really well. I'm Spanish and I love Portugal and always feel like I'm visiting a relative when I meet Portuguese people
No, not even the Monarchy flag was similar, there was a period that the flags look quite a like lol but that was back when Portugal or in this case " Portucal " existed but Finland didn't, later the monarchy flag ( blue and white ) was exactly like the republic one ( red and green ) but instead of the sfere in the middle it had a crown.
@@TheAquarius1978 I don’t know the specifics of which was Portugal’s (or ”Portucal’s”) regular flag or ”Monarchy flag”, so I just put in, what I heard that the blue-and-white flag was your old flag.
@@PC_Simo Yea i know, i wasn't criticizing you lol, i was just saying that the newer monarchy flag is exactly like the republic one but white and blue ( white instead of red, and blue instead of green, and instead of the sfere in the middle it had the shield and a crown ) it was just an observation nothing more mate, the older one was the one with a white field and a blue cross that was indeed slightly similar to the new Finish flag.
I beg your pardon, it was not Portugal "who decided" to have a different time zone making sound that Spain's timezone is somehow right. Portugal and England are correct. The Timezone Spain uses was implemented according Germany's instructions for Spain to have the same timezone as Germany during the second world war, and After the war, Franco didn't restore the timezone. The Spanish timezone does not correspond to the Solar Time, as the sun reaches its peak at 13 and not 12. Ok? Thank you
This is not correct, the majority part of Spain is in the correct timezone like France. But Galicia and the west of the country is not. In France happens the same.
@@joseribera4209 wrong. The Greenwich meridian line is west of Zaragoza, close to Lleida... Meaning only a bit of Aragon, the Balearic Islands, Valencia and Catalonia are really in +1... But most of the country is +0
Spain should be in the UTC 0 timezone. Franco wanted to align himself with Hitler and so took Spain out of the “correct” one. Most of France lies in the UTC+1 so the entire country now sits in the Central European TimeZone
This is how many people would like a much more detailed video about the portuguese and japanese encounter. Just give this comment a thumbs up if you want them to have more chances to read this!
"Hey João, can i speak spanish in Portu..." "No" "But..." "NOOO" P.S. I am portuguese. The thing is spaniards don't often try to speak portuguese in Portugal, and the languages may be similar but they are not identical so some of the times that leads to confusing moments.First hand experience. Just common, at least have a dictionary when you travel abroad.
Actually... most Portuguese are able to speak some Spanish, and if they speak Portuguese to us Spaniards slowly enough we would understand. And the written language is almost identical. Sometimes I am reading something in Portuguese and I don't even notice it is not my language until the 6th or 7th word.
Javier Arriaga García yes, it’s just the lack of knowledge that there’s so much rich culture in Iberia that is annoying. As Barbs said, we’re pretty similar and not only in language. It’s good to share Iberia with España, they’re nice.
@@joaopinho2361 They are nice until they speak about their history (specially the Spanish Civil War and the Spanish Golden Era with the Spanish Black Legend).
Sou brasileiro, minha esposa é lusodescendente e meus enteados são portugueses. Sinto orgulho de parte de minhas raízes serem portuguesas. Minha cidade, o Rio de Janeiro, foi a capital do Império Português por 14 anos e a aclamação do El Rei D. João VI no Brasil muito nos honrou.
I love Portugal. I am Mexican but, oddly enough, have a Portuguese surname: Favela (yes, Brazilians, it is a Portuguese surname, I did the research okay). Took a DNA test and came out with a little over 10% Portuguese. I hope to one day visit the land of my ancestors.
Im from Badajoz (Spanish town in the border next to Portugal) and I've visited Portugal so many times. I've even lived in Lisbon for a year. It's such a great country so Spanish like. I hate to see when they act like rivals. When working together Spain and Portugal can achieve so many great things. Now, they have applied to host soccer world cup around the two countries together in 2030
The relationship with Portugal and Spain is more like two brothers that went different ways in doing similar things and now they are older and havent really been brotherly towards each other but recognize that they are still brothers even if they dont hang out with each other and prefer to be alone or with other people, than with each other. Its not a friendship...... its like two awkward distant bothers that dont really say they are brothers untill some one asks.
i think different people see it differently xD i'm portuguese and absolutely love Spain, have several spanish friends, and know a lot who has same view, and i also see a lot of spanish people cheering for Portugal in different sceneries, and vice versa, like imagine in a final where Portugal don't go throw and Spain is in the final, we will cheer for Spain against whoever.
Depends on the regions. For example my father's family is from quite near the border in central Alentejo. We're practically neighbours and I remember him mentioning how they'd invite each other's families for dinner and so on. We have a couple of differences but they're overthrown by a lot of similarities in terms of culture.
As a Spaniard, best regards to our Portuguese brothers/neighbours (delete what you think it's wrong). You are a very nice people and Portugal is a beautiful country. Also, sorry for Spanish tourists that insist on speaking Spanish because they can't bothered to learn a few words. (hey, I can say with a proper-ish accent _Funchal_ and _obrigado_ XD)
That is the main reason why I don't like Spanish people as much as I could. They can't be bothered to speak a few Portuguese words when they come visit (and even so we try our best to speak Spanish so they feel welcome), but when the Portuguese visit Spain, if we don't speak Spanish, we are always replied with "No te intiendo". Thanks for your words, bro!
@@FlipOver A los portugueses, con un poco de esfuerzo, les es sumamente fácil entender español, y por tanto les es muy fácil aprender palabras básicas (los portugueses que conozco que no viven en España no saben español, hablan portuñol, pero español, cero, a no ser que lo hayan estudiado, o como he dicho, vivan en España). Para un español es infinitamente más difícil entender portugués. Y no tiene nada que ver con soberbia u orgullo, o vagancia, tiene que ver con el sistema fonológico de cada lengua. El español fonéticamente es muchísimo más fácil que el portugués, y para un Portugués, más fácil todavía. Precisamente por la simpleza fonológica del español (en cuanto a vocales sobretodo), un español simplemente NO PUEDE, no es capaz, de distinguir los sonidos del portugués. Lo que a vosotrso os cuesta solo un poco de esfuerzo, para la mayoría de españoles es simplemente imposible, por más que se esfuercen, a no ser que estén acostumbrados a escuchar el portugués y hayan afinado el oído con los años.
@@goodaimshield1115 I'm not talking about speaking perfect Portuguese or Spanish, but enough so others can at least appreciate the effort. And sure as hell you are not one of the people who will give it a try. But fun story, bro, come to Portugal and I'll reply "Não te entendo".
@@goodaimshield1115 tienes alguna razón, pero, en general, El español no habla (o se le da muy mal) hablar inglês por ejemplo... Igual con los italianos y los brasileños. Saludos desde Cascais, Portugal.
