Yes

Sounds like delicia to me

Well Brazilian Portuguese yes

>Well Brazilian Portuguese yes
That's literally the only variety that doesn't sound like Russian

>nigger nose and nigger lips
Yuck

Wha? It's the only one variety that sounds Romanic

lmao just listened to portugese, it does sound russian. Brazilian is more pleasant.

Can you share some youtube videos with Portuguese?

sí

Yes, it does. Sorry. It's probably due to some phonological overlap.

Ironcally? Yes
Unironically? No, but the "ao" and "sh" are very prominent on it which would confuse the typical *nglo

...

here, comrad

We don't actually mind. It's not something we see as shameful, it's just a funny oddity, being the furthest away from Russia and sounding slavic.

It sounds like a russian reading a random mix of spanish and french words.

Lol, no.

It's worth mentioning that the longer rolled R's can be interchangeably replaced by French/German-like guttural R's. It's more of a city vs countryside thing, though, for the most part.

You all need to watch this.

I've learned some Portuguese words in gay porn.

Mete, caralo, gostoso, porra, iss...

>gostoso
that's Brazilian.

post the other R.

>caralo
You're saying it wrong mate.

It's "caralho" and "isso".

It's a bit of a meme video, but it's from a news show, so it's fairly neutral and fair.

There's a huge Portuguese and Russian population in the city where I live. I hear both languages pretty frequently and they've never sounded alike to me.

Thanks.
Yea. It sounds like a mix of Polish (sh-psh sound), Russian (R-sounds) and a little German.

I like this guy more then the other, but it still sounds russian, those vowels are way russian.

It's the only major Romance language that doesn't stress every syllable, meaning that we only stress one syllable per word and close all the others, so it starts sounding not-romanic.

Catalan and Occitan do it as well, maybe some Italian languages do too, but I don't know them too well.

Brazilian Portuguese is even weirder in that they do it only sometimes. When spoken slowly, it's stressed by word, when spoken quickly, it's stressed by syllable. The word "excelente" is a good example. We just pick one syllable and close everything else, so the entire word is a beat:

Excelente becomes "shlent". And you say it 4 times, and it's just 4 beats: "shlent-shlent-shlent-shlent".

In Spanish, or French, or Italian or Brazilian Portuguese , you do it by syllable - "ex-ce-len-te-ex-ce-len-te-ex-ce-len-te-ex-ce-len-te", so the beats are faster, but the communication is slightly slower overall.

>maybe some Italian languages do too
I don't know much about italian sublanguages, but I am not sure what you mean there. All romance languages stress only one vowel don't they? What do you mean close the others, like all Es become è instead of è? (i don't know how else to explain it, that's what we call closed vowels)

They're both guttural sounding. Horrible languages. I wish they'd stop talking.

Yes, that's what I mean, but we close them further, and almost skip them when speaking.

"o", the letter, is spelt like Italian, but if it's on an unstressed syllable, it becomes "oo", and the same happens to "e's" which become more closed than "è". An "a" becomes an "uh" and so on.

"Batata" is spelt "buh-tah-tuh", and if you speak it fast, it may approximate "b'tah't", although it's never quite fully muted.

This sounds like something they taught me on english, that they count their shit in a different way for poems and stuff because they "skip" stuff. Also is batata potato?

They repeat some words I don't understand.

But I can understand gostoso, delicia, mete, etc

pornhub.com/view_video.php?viewkey=1244097044

Yes, batata is potato.

The metric syllable in Portuguese is counted only until the stressed one, with all subsequent syllables being cut-off and counted as the last one (Portuguese never allows words to have more than 2 syllables after the stressed one).

Catástrofe - Ca-tás-tro-fe becomes "Ca-tástrf" in poetry. The syllables before the stressed one, although more closed, still count because it's a flexible enough language that allows you to stress every other single syllable in songs and poems. It allows for a ton of different nuanced sounds (the most in all romance languages iirc), and it was one of the reasons why it was used for poetry and art and song for a long time even in proto-Spain. It's why we don't sound as Russian when singing, same as Americans/Brits sort of lose most of their accents.

It's more complex than this, but it's a good summary.

>Yes, batata is potato.
did the arabs take the word form you or vice versa? Also thank you for explaination. But i am sorry, but spanish sounds better.

Pretty sure everyone took it from Spanish which probably took it from Peruan or whatever the fuck they spoke there.

I imagine Spanish sounds better to an Italian as it's more familiar. It honestly sounds like hysterical, slightly camp Portuguese to us. It's Italian without being playful and cute.

I know a lot of French and Italian words due to porn.

How is a language playful?

>Italian words due to porn.
suggest good italian porn girl pls.

Your whole cadence is pretty sexy, desu. It's hard to take you seriously, but you sound coy and playful to me. Spaniards just sound like they couldn't learn proper Portuguese.

I used to hate italian, now i still don't liek the sound, but the cadence si pretty damn good. Feels very cozy to talk italian rather then other languages. The only other language with a cadence i like i found is tunisian.

southern brazil portuguese doesn't

Brazilian portuguese sounds like a retarded swiss german dialect
And pr Portuguese sounds like a balkan guy speaking italian with a heavy accent.

yea, quite slavic

Yes or a random eastern european language

How does Polish sounds for you?

BTW I was in Portugal, I wish I had so much orange trees in my garden

portuguese sounds like sean connery trying to speak spanish

Post an average polish speaking it

youtube.com/watch?v=oWz4Gh7GpiI

this is confusing

outside the "ie" diphthongs, it's almost Portuguese.

the fat guy sounds somewhat french but still slavic

It does sound like a Slavic language for some reason. Actual Portuguese that is, Brazilian Portuguese doesn't sound the same at all.

he's pure 100% Polish

Wtf I love polish now

some russian words too sound almost french. Truth is french sounds slavic too.

he's pure polish too, do you like polish boys?

Stop being gay.

I love your language

he's cute

...

They really speak delicia.

>They repeat some words I don't understand
which ones?

I literally was unable to comprehend 80% of what she said

>puta que pariu
made me laugh

Not to me, I can clearly tell the diferencia between Slav languages and Portuguese or any other languages. But I can't tell Slav languages apart

I sense a strong presence of coimbranon in this thread.

A slavic language, not exactly Russian

Very hot video. Do you have this video in HD? Apparently, they don't have HD cameras in South America.

I keep expecting her to say Bože moj in one of her asides

>Pretty sure everyone took it from Spanish which probably took it from Peruan or whatever the fuck they spoke there.

yes but they took it the wrong way. "Batata" is a sweet potato. An actual potato is a "papa".

yes

Nope. I didn't find better quality.

youtube.com/watch?v=5nbrHdVZVCw
what does this sound like to foreigners?

Really? Madeirans are right, then. They call sweet potatoes "batata".

They call regular potatoes "semilha", though.

Finnish

It doesn't sound like resembling anything. It's just sounds like Finnish.

Sounds like a dutchman speaking russian.

yes it does, i've often mistook portuguese football streams for russian because the languages can sound very similar if you're not really paying attention and cant recognize individual words

Finnish sounds like a language spoken with just baby words. I don't know why, but it sounds super-cute.

literally alien

Suevi were Suavic/Slavic. Don't believe k*aut lies.

youtube.com/watch?v=XGcVcg3OkSI
what about this?
does this sound any different at all?

PORTUGAL CARALHO BLYAD

The other day a luso-venezuelan acquaintance of mine told me that before he learned the language it sounded like french to him

Of course it does. As dumb as your first question.

I wouldn't probably be able to distinguish Finnish from Estonian if you tested my without knowing.

Portuguese sounds great, that's all one has to know.

fairly asian sounding
I listened to some finnish reggae once and it was weird but pretty cool, probably due to the marked consonants

didn't ask you
back to the yurt

what does this sound like to Finns and foreigners?

youtu.be/8vDtPgKlMJE

just finnish with a very thick russian accent
karelians have a weird way of forming sentences, but it's completely understandable

Like finnish with an accent or something. Completely understandable.

excellente (I don't know how it's written in portuguese)

sounds almost like cslen chi with the last i being barely pronounced

in spanish it sounds like ex ce len te, all syllables and vowels equal

Let me guess, this one:
m.youtube.com/watch?v=qSlHO7Y9mUU

It's a language of choice for slow songs.

t. knower of west iberian languages with 24 years of experience

How about Volga Finns language (moksha)?

youtu.be/QEAd2UXiUIA

Do you feel something familiar?

What do portuguese bros think about this?
youtube.com/watch?v=asfyutVLGEg

I like how it sounds.

Pfft,Suebian portuguese is the best accent in Portugal.
