Tenho muitas saudades de Portugal.

"Se a alma que sente e faz conhece
Só porque lembra o que esqueceu,
Vivemos, raça, porque houvesse
Memória em nós do instincto teu.
Nação porque reincarnaste,
Povo porque resuscitou
Ou tu, ou o de que eras a haste –
Assim se Portugal formou.
Teu ser é como aquella fria
Luz que precede a madrugada,
E é já o ir a haver o dia
Na antemanhã, confuso nada. "

in Mensagem, Fernando Pessoa

great country in a somewhat shitty situation

where did you go?

vocaroo.com/i/s0JQqldgZc6Y My PT is extremely rusty, how did I do?

Been twice. I've hit up Porto, Lisbon, Sintra, Caldas da Rainha, Óbidos, Peniche, Nazaré, Foz do Arelho, Coimbra, São Martinho do Porto, and perhaps some other places I'm forgetting.

Finland of the south.

>was called finisterre
>more autistic than it's neighbours
>language sounds like it belongs in a different group
>used to have a blue-cross-in-white field flag

The way you say "Fernando Pessoa" is 10/10. The rest is pretty good as well. It still requires some work, but it's nice that it doesn't sound like you learned Spanish or Brazilian Portuguese beforehand, which isn't that common.

ahaha
not bad pal congrats

favourite and least favourite place?

I actually started with the Duolingo BR PT but it was a long time ago. I feel like in terms of pronunciation, Catalan is closest to PT since they have the same rhythm and the closed vowels. French isn't too far off, either, especially with the nasal sounds.

I feel a bit more natural reading something I'm familiar with vocaroo.com/i/s0pwD2EGhTSy

People on here have said I sound a bit Açoriano or Madeirense but I don't really hear it.

Dunno if I really have a least favorite, I liked all of them. I guess my favorite was Porto. Great climate, great city, great food. I guess Caldas was the least remarkable place I went but it has a special place in my heart, I have lots of friends there.

As armas e os barões assinalados,
Que da ocidental praia Lusitana,
Por mares nunca de antes navegados,
Passaram ainda além da Taprobana,
Em perigos e guerras esforçados,
Mais do que prometia a força humana,
E entre gente remota edificaram
Novo Reino, que tanto sublimaram;

whatever you do don't go to Lisbon's suburbs

>People on here have said I sound a bit Açoriano
Only because they can't be understood either.

>voccaroo
Pretty good. The vowels are a bit off, but that will only go down with time.

I'd say that the trickiest thing about learning Portuguese that people don't usually teach you is to link consecutive words a bit more fluidly:

a areia (both "a" being closed) becomes áreia
os olhos becomes ozolhos (occasionally osholhos or ojolhos based on accent)

French calls them liaisons but I'm not sure we have a specific word for it.

Very third world

Third stanza is the best out of the whole intro (if not as iconic as the first).

1
As armas e os barões assinalados,
Que da ocidental praia Lusitana,
Por mares nunca de antes navegados,
Passaram ainda além da Taprobana,
Em perigos e guerras esforçados,
Mais do que prometia a força humana,
E entre gente remota edificaram
Novo Reino, que tanto sublimaram;

2
E também as memórias gloriosas
Daqueles Reis, que foram dilatando
A Fé, o Império, e as terras viciosas
De África e de Ásia andaram devastando;
E aqueles, que por obras valerosas
Se vão da lei da morte libertando;
Cantando espalharei por toda parte,
Se a tanto me ajudar o engenho e arte.

3
Cessem do sábio Grego e do Troiano
As navegações grandes que fizeram;
Cale-se de Alexandro e de Trajano
A fama das vitórias que tiveram;
Que eu canto o peito ilustre Lusitano,
A quem Neptuno e Marte obedeceram:
Cesse tudo o que a Musa antiga canta,
Que outro valor mais alto se alevanta.

>Abaixo do Douro, tudo mouro
In my experience the opposite is true. I met a guy from Guimarães who looked straight up Indian, and I know a girl from Caldas who's pale as fuck. In fact her sister looks Irish.

I like portugal because they sound somewhat like us catalans, and an enemy of Spain will always be my friend.

what's in there?

It's just a meme based on history rather than anecdotal evidence.

Outside the African neighbourhoods in Lisbon (which has the most, but not the only), everywhere else is the fucking same. We're pretty homogenous, with skin tones ranging a large gap, but consistently across the regions.

My grandpa has that leather-like terrone skin from working the fields for 60 years but the skin from his ass to his knees is pale as fuck.

Spain?

A buddy of mine is from Amadora, but the nice (white) part of it (Brandoa), he's pretty much said the same thing. One time I looked at where he lived on StreetView and was weird as fuck, his neighborhood looked nice. Nice enough apartment buildings, clean streets, well maintained businesses, etc., but within walking distance there were literal third world slums.

It's a meme from old times because people rarely moved around. These days immigration inside the cunt has changed that a bit.

I drink a lot, very alone

:3

...

What is a Catalan?

There was also that time you both rebelled at the same time and Portugal got off free while you guys stayed fucked. I love Catalonia, btw. I wish I got to spend more time there but I was limited to touristy shit in Barcelona and some trail running in the Pyrenees.

I mean, I've met some ethnic Portuguese who look like straight up nords (very very rare but they do seem to exist) and some who look like Arabs, but yeah for the most part I'd say you're right.

Thanks, american fren. I love you too, you're more than welcome here.

>It's a meme from old times because people rarely moved around.
The south was literally forcibly populated with people from the north, though.

Yeah, there is definitely big variance.

The thing people don't understand about Portugal is that there is no standard Portuguese look. It's European, sure, but due to the amount of people brought from abroad in the reconquista and the middle ages literally every Western Euro can be a native here.

Ofc people only see us as people looking from a Lisbon suburb but can we do. People think of Spain as Andalucia too.

wtf? Catalans are frogs?

Keep fighting the good fight català-bro

Don't you mean the Sultanate of Moortugal?

You're my fren from Mataró, are you not?

Thanks suomi fren, we will never surrender.

what do you wanna know

:^)

*loses self-government*

...

people of the subsaharan genotype

people from center of Portugal like the villages in Coimbra and Viseu are dark as hell, doe you can tell they ain't arab or anything like that, they have their own look

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>curious about pt-pt asmr
>find a qt on youtube
>it sounds like she's farting in my ear

anyway, I love Portugas

Can't wait to go back, famic.

I was surprised that even I passed as a local, I don't look southern at all. I might not quite be an Aryan Nord, but in terms of hair/eye/skin color I'm pretty close to Emmanuel Macron, and I have Germanic facial features (I basically have Matt Damon's forehead) as well. There were a couple of times around Europe I've been mistaken for French.

Noice

>a poo trying to outbanter us
>the world is really going to shit
oh wait

They did not hired a corsairs in the age of sails to fight proxy wars with other guys (Britain, Spain, etc).
That's pretty beta :^l

>center of Portugal like the villages in Coimbra and Viseu
I dunno, many of my friends are from Caldas and most are pale as fuck. One looks like a typical Ashkenazi Jew desu.

>10 times more pajeets
>against what basically pajeet/mozambican half-breeds
>manage to lose almost as many people
>whilst other country is fighting a 3-front war in a whole continent

>hire
that costs money, mate

not really impressive, posting our pm that is indian would've been better

>that coasts money
Even France did it. And they were less wealthy that you are.

>All that against 4000 thousand man
>Still incapable of diplomacy before chimping out like China did with Macau

That's India all right, plus comparing early XVI century with the XX century.

doubt.jpg

Caldas da Rainha ain't nowhere near Coimbra or Viseu doe

Inshallah my muslim brethren

France was always richer, even at the high of the Portuguese Empire.

I look like a Brit desu and besides the algarve, I was always treated as native.

youtube.com/watch?v=BJ-HXXCJ6o0

took ya a while to come up with that one i even smelled it coming
then again it might not have been that hard

But isn't half of portugal Indian

Breddy sad.
But still, i'm almost sure you had enough money to hire some of these guys.

No need to hire corsairs like a pussy. You fight head on. What are we, Brits?

I'm from pretty much the exact same place! The suburbs are not nearly as bad as people paint them to be and although I don't feel 100% comfortable walking alone (specially at night ) through the worst (blackest) neighborhoods.

no but half of the world used to be Portuguese

it ain't as dangerous as rappers like to pretend it is but these buildings are really fucking ugly

>What are we, Brits?
These guys unironically put the corsair's handiwork as a national budget article.
Maybe it's not very valorous, but very profitable for sure.

>half
Lulzz kkkk

...

No, I'm just a Castilian living in the middle of fucking nowhere, actually

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Tordesillas

God himself said so

not yet
but most of those coming here, go to the UK afterwards.

Sorry, I really thought it was you. Where do you live? I've never visited castile. Perhaps someday I will, when this whole debacle is over.

But did it turn out as planned??

all was going well until we fought the turks on foot

I live at the outskirts of Burgos and don't worry, Northern Castilians are more reasonable than Madrileños and pretty much everything south of here.

YOU WHAT?Fighting with fellow muslim brethren kara boga. May allah have mercy upon both of you

Here's a nice pic of what you could find here

Many of my friends are from Castilian and Galician descent, very nice and open-minded. The girls are qts, I like the pale, green/blue eyes and dark hair combo.

post loo

your town looks comfy desu. I live in a pretty big city.

ai está

Is it true that indians pick up poo that they find on the streets and smear on their faces?Is that why you are darker than the average african-american?

Yeah, we don't really make much noise about Catalans and whatnot, we just continue our lives.
Nice trips, have a pic of Ojo Guareña

Glad we could have nice chat for a while, but I'll go to sleep now, bed's calling me.
Buenas noches, amigo castellano.

Bona nit, amic

No why would we? The streets have been designated for that after all.

>darker than your average african-american
Also smarter than your average wh*toid. Inshallah the black man is the bull after all.
Wh*tes BTFO!

What goes on your head whenever you look at yourself in the mirror?
Do you use whitening cream?Do you dream about being whiter than you are?When you watch anime don't you get angry about the fact that no anime girl would ever like a disgusting fucking poo slinging indian such as yourself?

>What goes on your head whenever you look at yourself in the mirror?
OOH MAMA WHO'S DAT SEXYWOLF! I'D TOTALLY FUCC HIM
>Do you use whitening cream?
Ofc. Gotta keep my face fresh. You do realize they don't 'whiten' you right?
