About: Portuguese Language
Let’s know a little about, mother’s language from Brazil, and others countries around of the world, that has portugueses as your first language.
Our language borned when portugueses come in to Brazil and started teaching everyone to know Portuguese well, of course, INDIOS didn’t want to turn up your style of life, mainly because the mother language from them were the Tupi-Guarani. So they were forced to learn against your wanted.
However, We can see the portuguese in some contries, like as: Portugal, Africa and etc. It’s the some language, of course, but there’re some differency about pronuciation, diferents slangs, vocabulary.
For Exemple:
ex¹:
there’s a long line to get entrances to the concert in Porto. One portuguese want to get it faster, he tries pass some people, but there is one that turning to him, stoped and said: “Please, back to the end’s line.” It’s something like: “volte para o fim da Bicha” in this case Bicha is meaning like: LINE.
However, if the Portuguese speaks this word here in Brazil, it’s going to be stranger, because Bicha in Brazil, mean: Gay. It could be translated by Volte para o fim da bicha [Bicha];
I wish that this blog, help your want to know Brazil someday!
