Portuguese Words That Have Become Japanese 

Thank you for your kind comment! I remember my Brazilian friend once told me that the Portuguese word 'obrigado' sounds like 'arigato'. I don't know enough about the connection between these two words, but it'd be fun looking into it!

Thank you so much for your kind comments!!! That really gives me encouragement to keep making more videos (I'm a bit lazy otherwise!) 😊 I am really fascinated about our early interactions with the Portuguese, so it's great to connect with you! Enjoy the rest of the week!

Thank you so much for your comment!!! Brazil and Japan have had a long close relationship, too 😊 Just out of curiosity, do the words that I introduced (e.g. jarro, capa, etc.) still mean the same in your language today? Or did we misunderstood the meaning and mis-adopted them?

​@@RakugoNZ Watched again to answer your questions. "Manteiga" is literally butter in Portuguese. There are some cases where the fat is so soft/tender when cooked/processed that you call, by analogy, a "manteiga", but only on this specific scenario, otherwise "manteiga" is literally butter. "Tempero" is seasoning in the broadest sense... you always apply "Tempero" to some dish (salt and black pepper are also considered temperos, for instance, the most basic ones). Never heard it being used to reference a "milanese-kind" way of doing dishes. Buranko is like a swinging chair or swing like a verb? "Frasco" is perfect, we we use more in the sense of a glass jar (mason, scientific whatever). "Jarro" here in Brazil is used to describe plant vases or glass jars to serve water and all sorts of other drinks. "Capa" is ok! We use to rain jacket too. But it can also mean any type of cape. Batman cape is "Capa do Batman", for instance... definitively not a rain jacket hehe. "Carta" here is literally "card". In almost the same broad sense as "card" in English is. "Confeito" is a sweet word related indeed but more in a sense of applying some fine details, usually by hand, to the sweets, I think. "Copo" is perfect. Cup/drinking glass. "Mirra" is like a oil essence, can be a perfumed oil too. "Sabão" is perfect. Soap! That's it. I hope I have answered your questions!

​@@daniloassis87 This is so amazing!!! Thank you so much for taking time to reply to my question :) I can see how those Portuguese words were adopted into Japanese language- perhaps except for the word 'tempero'. I wonder how the word that meant 'seasoning' became 'tempura'... I need to do a bit research on this! 'Capa' or 'kappa' in Japanese actually looks more like a cape for the rainy condition, so this one makes sense, too! It is super exciting to learn about different languages and our interactions in the past and the present. Our ancestors would have never imagined that we'd be discussing these Portuguese-Japanese words on RU-vid someday! Thank you so much again!!!
