Portugal VS Brazil l Which Portuguese is Easier to Understand?(Brazil, Portugal, USA, Italy, France) 

So, basically Portuguese and Brazillians is like the British and Americans. British are considered by the Americans to be very polite and sophisticated in the way they speak, while Americans are considered to speak a more easy going version of the language.

"Ônibus" comes from the latin word "Omnibus" which means "for everyone". And both "ananas" and "abacaxi" come from indigenous South American languages, Guarani and Tupi respectively.

The person making the subtitles NEEDS do research better. Buzón doesn't exist in brazilian portuguese. She's saying "busão".

I'm loving the Julia and Miguel duo ^^ they are like siblings annoying each other whenever someone agrees with one of them. So cute~

Is funny because portugueses people are known for speaks very fast and brazilian people are known for speak melodic but the Portugal guy was speaking more slowly and melodic meanwhile Julia was speaking really fast. I think that's why they understood the guy better

Romance languages ​​are beautiful.

In Brazil "comboio" has the same meaning, multiple cars one after other.

Acho que esse canal descobriu o poder do engajamento brasileiro hahahaha ainda bem, quero mais vídeos assim

If you include conversations between Portuguese and Spanish, you can perfectly understand what is said. You can also understand something with Italian, but the differences are much greater.

In Portugal the main reason why i think we have a easier time understand brazilian folk, and this doesn't apply to every accent in brazil more the rio de janeiro and são paulo accents, because we grow up with brazilian telenovelas and a ton of brazilian music, and i think the inverse isn't as common especially when you compare in terms of the size of the population, with just 10M portuguese in mainland portugal its more likely one of us to have heard brazilian portuguese before then in the 8,515,767 km2 and 205M in population to have heard european portuguese. Ofc everything is an opportunity to learn more about people and share cool things, great to see so many different nationalities just ping ponging off each other. Great video, e muito amor para todos os irmãos e irmãs do outro lado do Atlântico.

A Júlia e o Miguel podem estar sempre juntos! É uma dupla muito fofa de assistir!

In Argentinean Spanish we call the fridge "heladera" which is similar to Brazilian Portuguese. I think other countries call it refrigerador as well.

Julia is from São Paulo. They say “você”, but is not a rule in Brazil. Some regions say “tu”, and it’s not “formal”, it’s the normal. I am from the state Santa Catarina, my family from Rio Grande do Sul, and we all say “tu”, not “você”. 😉 I know that in the North of Brazil, specially in the state of Pará, they say “tu” as well, they don't say “você”. We hear more “você” on media because most of the productions are made in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Just because of that.

Alguns portugueses nos comentários estão dizendo que "abacaxi" e "ananás" são frutas diferentes. Na verdade, são variedades da mesma fruta. A diferença é que em Portugal, eles usam a palavra "ananás" para se referir a uma variedade e "abacaxi" para se referir a outra, enquanto no Brasil se usa apenas a palavra "abacaxi", por exemplo: abacaxi pérola, abacaxi branco, abacaxi amarelo, etc. E os nomes variam de região para região. A palavra "ananás" é raramente utilizada no Brasil.

His pronunciation is from the city of Porto (Portugal)

In Portugal we have both "Ananas" and "Abacaxi" cousin fruits, not the same....

I don't know wheather is the Portuguese from Portugal or the Portugal guy himself, but he sounds more polite, meanwhile Julia sounds more informal and using a "popular" way to speak the language

Miguel and Julia are so cute 🥺❤ Love them

I suffer a lot fom anxiety, so I need to take whatever the American is taking. She sounds like she's been on vacation for 5 months and just woke up from her spa therapy and smoked something.

8:00 also Julia is speaking more for the people of São Paulo here, because here in the Northern Brazil we say "tu" like the Portuguese guy and we use "você" (like Julia) when we want to be more formal

This video was very good, if it had been an hour long I would have watched it. I really like Júlia and Miguel, and this time I managed to understand Miguel better than in the previous videos of them talking, maybe because I got used to his accent, I don't know

They should invite romanians too when they do videos about romance languages

I have to be honest; this specific group is the reason I started watching this channel and eventually subscribe. They're all so charismatic, cute and friendly. Very nice!

We also use the english word "freezer" in Brazil, to refer to the "congelador", the coldest part of the fridge. Its basically the same meaning.

Actually, abacaxi and ananas are different fruits, like orange and tangerine, they look and taste similar but are different at the same time.

hi! as a brazilian and former linguistics student, what everyone is failing to explain properly is that the european portuguese is not necessarily seen as formal by brazilians, but archaic! there is NO circumstance where we would talk like the portuguese do, not even in presidential meetings like in Júlia's example (12:50). our formal language is different from the european portuguese, the only instance you would see brazilians talking similarly to the portuguese is in really old books to put it simply, we had a lot of influence from other languages since the colony, including: mainly tupinambá and guarani (both indigenous south american languages), spanish, various african languages... while the european portuguese stayed pretty much the same as it was before, almost. what's funny is that nowadays, portuguese children are speaking a lot like brazilians because of youtube and brazilian songs! some regions in brazil use both "tu" and "você" but it's colloquially, "tu" is in most cases more informal than "você"! we conjugate "tu" the same as "você" and "ele/ela" (he/she) because there are two whole subjects in brazilian portuguese's verb tenses that are considered obsolete (tu podes, vós podeis). we only learn them because it's mandatory grammar, but nobody speaks like that here haha a couple of examples to show some differences: 🇵🇹 "como vieste para cá?" → 🇧🇷 "como veio para cá?" (formal) / "como você/tu veio pra cá?" (informal) 🇵🇹 "tu estás a irritar-me" → 🇧🇷 "você está me irritando" (formal) / "você/tu tá me irritando" (informal)

12:55 Julia getting ready to attack and then the cut

wow soy de costa rica y yo pienso que el español de españa suena mas formal que el de aca, y opino lo mismo del portuges de portugal, super formal.

Just dropped by to say that I'm Portuguese, love this video and I absolutely loved the huge good vibe of Julia.

Even though everyone thought Miguel sounded more formal, he was being very informal in Portugal's Portuguese. Were he being formal he would speak similar to Júlia (but probably leaving the word "você" out), but with a Portuguese accent. When Brazilians want to be formal they use "o senhor" or "a senhora" instead of "você", but the rest of the sentence remains the same. Note that in some places of Brazil they also use "tu" as informal but rest of the sentence is like any other Brazilian speaking; in other words, like Júlia speaks but using "tu" instead of "você". The accent is different though. In Northern Portugal, where he comes from, there are still people who say "vós" instead of "você". Like, for example, "Ides onde?", "Ides sofrer como cães!". The French girl said that sometimes she understood Júlia better and other times Miguel. That´s probably due to similarities between words in Portuguese and French.

Adorei esse vídeo, principalmente, pela fluência dos participantes e pela representante brasileira, além da sua fluência em inglês, muito bem preparada para explicar e esse jeitinho doce e descontraído me cativou ❤❤❤

I love Julia, but I'm missing Ana.

In Indonesia 🇮🇩 we say : 1. Bus : Bis 🚎 2. Train : Kereta 🚋🚋🚋 3. Pineapple : Nanas 🍍 4. Refrigerator : Kulkas 🧊 5. Ice Cream : Es Krim 🍦 6. Peanut : Kacang 🥜

5:03 in Spain we say Nevera and Frigorífico, in Latin America they say refrigerador or heladera

Julia from Brazil said Abacaxi(which we normally say in Brazil), this word comes from the Tupi indigenous language which is said "I'bá Ká'ti" and was used in Brazil from the 19th century onwards... ananás (both in Portuguese and Spanish) was used in Brazil before the 19th century and derives from the ancient Tupi and Guarani indigenous languages, which were originally called "naná".

The crush im developing with Miguel with every video…. What a beautiful man! Amo te Miguel!

chamaria a julia muito fácil pra um churrasco, deve ser muito com conversar com ela, ela é muito divertida e zero vergonha, adoro ela

Sophia 🇺🇲 soft spoken and chill vs Julia 🇧🇷 super hyped and energetic who will win?

Muito obrigado por nos mostrarem, a nós mais velhos, que é possível ter uma conversa educada, divertida e informativa sobre as diferenças e semelhanças entre o português de Portugal e o português do Brasil, sem cair nas discussões inúteis e desprovidas de sentido que sempre vemos ocorrer. Todas estas diferenças tornam a nosso idioma mais robusto, mais abrangente, mais poético e no fundo mais rico. É um orgulho ser nativo deste idioma que cada vez mais me surpreende e fascina.

Comboio em português do Brasil é um conjunto de veículos organizados em viagem Convoy in Brazilian Portuguese is a set of vehicles organized on a trip

In Philippines (Tagalog) 🇵🇭 we say: 1. Bus : Bus 🚌 2. Train : Tren 🚄 3. Pineapple : Pinya 🍍 4. Refrigerator : Ref 🧊 5. Ice cream : Sorbetes 🍦 6. Peanut : Mani 🥜

As the girls in the back row guessed, "você" is indeed much more formal than "tu" (it comes from "your mercy"). Julia believes "você" to be less formal because she is from São Paulo, where "tu" is never used. However, in some regions of Brazil, "tu" is the standard form of address, while "você" is reserved for more formal situations. No one would ever address a president or another authority figure with "tu"! I am from the South, where we use "tu" in all informal contexts. Personally, I never use "você". As for pineapple, "ananas" is not the word used in Portugal in pre-Columbian times because "ananas" did not exist in Europe before 1500, as it originally comes from America. The difference is that "ananas" is the more generic term, while "abacaxi" is a specific type of "ananas".

I think São Paulo had more Italian migration, while Rio had the Portugal imperial family living there for some time (they fled from Napoleon). So it had a big influence on the accents (just to name 2 states). For instance, when the Portugal guy says "baixa" meaning the city center, in Rio we also use "baixa", but with another meaning: areas of the city were there is a concentration os bars, night clubs etc. Like "baixo Gávea"

from an American trying to learn these four languages this was so cool! will be watching more of these. Merci beaucoup, grazie mille, muchas gracias, obrigada!

Portuguese may "sound like Russian", in many foreigners opinion, but is nothing like Russian, is probably only a accident of both countries using very similar sounds but the meaning of the words themselves are very different.

1:56 Actually, in France, we make the same difference as Spain with "car" and "bus"

The Portuguese boy is young and not very aware of how the Portuguese language works. We only use "tu" for family and friends, it is very rude to treat someone you don't know as "tu". Portuguese society is VERY formal and there's the social expectation to respect these types of pronouns. "Você" is formal, but many people don't like it, because it ages you, we mostly use it for the elderly. It has nothing to do with Brazilian Portuguese. For most people, you either use "o senhor/a senhora" or you omit it and use the formal form of the verb: "(tu) podes ligar-me" (informal) / "(O senhor) pode ligar-me" (formal), it does make a difference to us.

A Julia ainda tem bastante sotaque, aí deve influenciar no entendimento hahah Podia assistir um vídeo assim a tarde toda, gostei muito

This video 📻📷 now it was very instructive and educational, Portuguese is an easy language to understand without having studied it, if you know French, Spanish, Italian, Catalan, and above all Galician, Portuguese really becomes a piece of cake . Portuguese was never even close to Russian and a fun sung, vibrant language that makes people happy, entertained and passionate, the phonology of Portugal is abbreviated and the phonology of Brazil is long and sung explained. Cute 🥰 video 📷📸

"It's curious how we Brazilians see ourselves as more informal, while others perceive us as more formal. This is because our Brazilian Portuguese hasn't drifted far from the Portuguese spoken in the 1500s, whereas European Portuguese has evolved significantly and become more dynamic, sometimes even making it difficult for us Brazilians to understand. Another interesting point is that we Brazilians know that formal language is much more rigorous, which is why we view ourselves as informal. Congratulations on the video content, it was really great, I loved everyone!"

This formal stuff Julia mentioned actually depends on which part/state of brazil are you coming from. In the north we basically say "tu" and it looks hands down more informal than saing "você". Just to mention we (in the north) usually conjugate the second person (tu) wrong on the daily life maybe it helps to get the informal vibe.

Ônibus vem do Latim: Omnibus (Omnia = todo(s), toda(s), tudo, ibus = sufixo do caso Dativo plural, salvo engano. ). Assim, omnibus seria "Para todos"

I’m brazilian, and I complete disagree with Julia. Brazilians are formal, but speak gently and smiling to emulate friendship. We aren’t so straightforward as Portugueses.

i love the chemistry and good vibes between Miguel and julia. personally as Spanish speaker i can understand better Brazilian Portuguese also I think Portuguese from Portugal talking is very formal and quite hard to get it just few words in a sentence anyway both are good ways to speak the same language. i do not forget to mentioned the others girls that were interesting and cool too.

Nossa, mais um vídeo sobre o português de Portugal e do Brasil?? É claro que vou assistir kkkk

Pineapple is Ananas in many languages, but the word Abacaxi is only in Brazil and this fruit is from Brazil, pineapple is originally from Brazil

The use of Tu and Você in Brazilian Portuguese can be tricky, some places may not use Tu, others may only use Você for specific reasons. If we were to ask the Academy, it would say Você is semi-formal, meaning it can be used for both contexts, and Tu is informal. A trick to recognize when a Brazilian is being formal with Você is that they won't shorten it to Cê, or they may as well use O Senhor (the gentleman) and A Senhora (the lady) instead. But Brazilians tend to make formality less stiff.

Nous utilisons autobus et autocar en français. L'autobus est pour le transport à l'intérieur d'une même ville et l'autocar est pour la liaison entre des villes différentes.

in Brazil they say ananas or "abacaxi" for pineapple because there are two fruits very similar to each other where the "ananas" is larger and more acidic, therefore better for making culinary recipes, while the "abacaxi" is smaller and sweeter, making it ideal for eat in nature. ananas and pineapple they are different fruits.

Julia is mixing "formality" with "literary" Portuguese from old Brazilian and Portuguese romances and literary works. Nobody uses European Portuguese in Brazil as a way to speak formally. And we use "tu" in a lot of regions, but we don't usually conjugate it as the "tu" pronoun is conjugated in Portugal, and it's ALWAYS informal. NOBODY in Brazil uses "tu" in formal contexts.

Acho que o que dificulta de entender a Júlia para alguns, é que a fala dela é mais rapida, mais ansiosa. Eu entendo, mas tem quem ache "embolado". Pessoas extrovertidas tendem a ser mais empolgadas e mais ansiosas.😅

In Portugal abacaxi it's a different type of pineapple its smaller and sweeter 4:10

"Comboio" in the way the girl from France said it also exists in Brazilian Portuguese, like, here in São Paulo this thing normally happens when there is a lot of fog in the mountains that go down from São Paulo to the coast, for example. A highway patrol car goes ahead, opening and lighting the way, very slowly, and the rest follow in a line. The correct name is like "Operation Convoy", since it happens in small groups, many times, but in everyday life we just call it "Comboio".

I love hearing about the difference between languages, maybe you can talk about their origins. as "você" is a type of honorific, and they need to be used with the third person conjugation, its origin is "vossa mercê" which means "your mercy"

Could you guys show flags from time to time during a video, cuz i kinda strangle to memrise everybody =( This channel is a gem! love so much the stuff you do!

I can tell from both their english accent who is who. Brazillians tend to have a stronger/harsher accent when speaking english.

Brazil: Abacaxi 🍍🙂 France: Oh so cute 😍🥰

There only difference between abacaxi and ananas is the name. They are both the same fruit. Abacaxi cames from Tupi language (Indigenous people that lived in brazilian northeast costline when the portuguese arived). Ananas cames from Old Guarani, another native language, from people that lives in southeast. The portuguese take the fruit to the old world, and probably, because ananas sounds more "european", becames the common word for it. Since brazilian portuguese merges with the native languages, the Tupi word become more common.

In European Portuguese you can use ananas and abacaxi. Ananas is the most general word but abacaxi is a specific type of the fruit. It’s usually smaller and sweeter

I enjoyed this video a lot. It was a lot of fun. I just had to subscribe.

Cuban here. When learning Portuguese (still struggling with the European Version),you sometimes hear a joke about how lusophones answer a call: - "Oi/ Alô? 😀 - Tooooooooooouuuu 🔥-se But the final test to prove yourself in the language, it's to understand this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-u7efyRaaTUU.html

New here hi 😊 🇧🇷 i study 🇯🇵🇺🇸 others languages 🇪🇸🇰🇷🇮🇹🇨🇳🇫🇷🇩🇪

Este tipo de vídeo é um clássico, nunca perde o charme! 😂😂No Brasil, o "congelador" é a parte da "geladeira" onde, por exemplo, guardam-se as carnes, que por sua vez podem ser compradas num estabelecimento específico, o "frigorífico".

1 - Comboio is also understood as train in Brazil too… mainly when you’re talking about many wagons. 2 - In Latin America you can also say heladera for refrigerator, which is very close to geladeira, once hielo = gelo

Júlia speaks fantastic in English, but when she speaks in Brazilian Portuguese, she was quite fast, above the average Brazilian, maybe a bit nervous due to the cameras. But I love the interaction, well done all ♥️

A useful information (well, at least I think so): the Portuguese word "ônibus" comes from Latin "omnibus", dative form of the nominative 'omnis, e' and its meaning is "for all (people). Well, I hope I have helped. Greetings.

My God… French language is the most beautiful thing

Custava dizer que comboio no Brasil é tipo um coletivo de veículos organizados. Tipo "aquelas 20 viaturas da polícia saíram em comboio pela cidade"

I learnt Portuguese for a month in a Barcelona's academy because living two months in Lisbon. I already knew Catalan (my mother tongue), Spanish, English and Italian at that time (and nowadays I speak also French by the way), so I was able to understand Poet since day one and I was able to speak the language in two weeks.

In Mexico we don't say "frigorifico" We say "refrigerador" where you keep cold food, drinks, vegs and stuff, and "congelador" is the one where you keep frozen food and ice bags. While "refri" is simply a short way of saying "refrigerador"

ooh, I love the videos with brazil!! And i miss ana in this chanel, plis comeback her in a video with julia, it whould be so cool!!

Julia is from the countryside of São Paulo, so her native accent is not exactly the standard Brazilian pronunciation, especially the way she pronounces the letter 'r' at the end of a syllable. "Comboio" in Brazil means the same as "convoy" in English., rather than meaning "train". Brazilians also use both "abacaxi" and "ananás", but they are two different types of pineapples. "Busão" is not really a standard word. but rather slang. I also agree with other posters that Julia speaks faster than the average Brazilian.

I think the best comparison in English for Brazil > Portugese is English and something like a Liverpool or maybe even more a Scottish accent. Have you ever heard Ally McCoist or Alex Ferguson talk? Man you really have to pay attention and hear the different intonations and missing letters and the garble from a scottish accent

Brazil sounds more formal because julia is from the south. In more northern brazil we use "tu", while "você" sounds very odd and formal. Another thing to note is that we DONT use "tu" correctly, we conjugate the verbs like we are supposed to do with "você", if you conjugate the verb right it sounds VERY formal and kinda archaic

In Mexico, for 'peanut', we say "Cacahuate" which is quite similar to said Spain Spanish, but we don't really say 'maní'. In Cuba, I'm sure they do say it. In Mexico, we say, 'elote' or 'maíz' for Corn! It's either both, or some of us just say 'maíz' as a formal way of saying the actual corn...or the kernels and then use 'elote' for the actual prepared snack that Mexicans usually eat (Mayo, cheese, spice all on the corn).

I’m Mexican, and we never say frigorífico, we say “refrigerador” or “refri”, and we never say “maní”, we say “cacahuate”, which actually comes from the Nahuatl word “cacahuatl”, since it was originally from Mexico

Ella comió yogur. Lo he pillado todo. Mi madre es gallega, supongo por eso.

I understand what our european friends were saying there about getting more from the european portuguese and less from the brazilian one, the pronunciation and some words. For example "ciudade"... In Spanish that would be "ciudad" meaning in english city, but when Julia pronounced the word sounded more like "ciudache" like she was using the letter "Xi" that makes the ch sound instead of pronouncing the written "De" as it is. And I can tell that very well by not knowing portuguese. But the video was quite interesting, and funny as always.

9:08 Fun fact, taxi and hotel are words that appear in every language in the world

Esse português e essa brasileira daria um casal tão lindo, tão fofo, combinam demais.

Descubriram um nicho agora kkk a brasileira dar muito conteúdo 😂😂

3:37 pineapple portugal ; ananas Hindi :अनानास (anaanaas)🤨

In Spain, for fridge, we mostly say "frigorífico" or "frigo" (some people say "nevera" as well, but less common I'd say). In Latin America the most common word is "refrigerador" or "refri", they don't say "frigorífico". A very common name for a dog in Spain is "Bobi" ("Bobby" with Spanish pronunciation).

Spain just understands both Portuguese quite well, Italian still gets some words and French noch change, other language. Very cool to have this people of this different countries together. Nice video!

Just complementing the video: exist the word "pinha" in Brazilian Portuguese as well, but is completely different from pineapple. "Pinha" have different meanings even in Brazil. Exist the fruit "pinha" with other names as "fruta-do-conde" and "ata", and in the South of Brazil we have the plant "pinha", from the pine tree (pinheiro Araucária), that after opened it releases the pine nuts (pinhão / pinhões). It's a popular food in the South of Brazil, mostly during fall and winter.

13:20 "we're never polite" I don't agree, Julia. :)

In Portuguese we have the 2 words "ananás" and "abacaxi" are different varieties of the same species of fruit. "Ananás" is smaller and more “acidic” and "abacaxi" is longer and sweeter. Very strange that neither of them knew this. In Portugal, in supermarkets, it is super common for the two varieties to be side by side, so this guy must never have gone shopping.🙂

O nome científico, _Ananas comosus,_ é proveniente da Língua Tupi e deu origem à palavra Ananás.

We use "tu" in the northeast of Brazil like an informal pronoun, but we conjugate the verb like we do for "você". We use both, but it's very common to hear someone saying "tu"

In Brazilian portuguese we have "cidade baixa" as the city center/downtown, however it's an old term and so people started to use it reference the historical or "old" city center. Incidentally in the same way the city of london is inside london's downtown, just considering age and disconsidering the separate administrative unit.
