Who is the colony now, fuckers?
Well that was the case since the failson moved the capital of the empire to Brasil, right?
Like kinda but the settlers were still mostly portuguese on a cultural sense even though brazil was the capital, Brazilian cultural identity as it is now becomes a thing due to big Mussolini fan boy Getúlio vargas understanding that it is impossible to create a racial in-group like in germany and italy in brazil and instead embraces african culture like samba and capoeira to create the idea of a mixed race, he also is responsible for create workers right in brazil, he is just a really weird like that (also really bad if you read about him sending jews back to germany and almost joining the axis were the us not to offer him a nice metalworking industry if we went with the allies)
Ah seems like a classic case of mid 20 century latam socdem, Perón did basically the same 10 years later here in Arg.
it is just a classic bit, like the whole let's invite more europeans to make the country whiter that both arg and brazil did at some point
Question for Brazilians: How hard is it to understand Portugal Portuguese? From what I've heard the accents are vastly different, much more so than Latin/Spain Spanish or American/British English.
like it is different but absolutelly understandable, they use the second person pronoum (tu and vos) and the verb conjugation for it and brazilians use (você and vocês) instead which is in the third person conjugation, like they also order some stuff diferent than us but it is a thing i can do too because portuguese is just wild like that, it is just not how we are used to speak and there are words that have different meaning but this also happens from state to state in brazil like the geographical distance does that. It is more different than brit vs american english for sure but it is because brit english is just american english with some extra Us in there
they use the second person pronoun (tu and vós)
Actually they typically mix it up and use tu and vocês. Vós is used in certain regions but it's not the norm.
Yeah, "vós" is seen as archaic and way too formal here in Portugal.
oh so not even them can force themselves to conjugate in the second person plural it sucks so much
Once you get used to it it's easy, but many people don't have a lot of exposure and so they struggle with it. It's mostly because the Portuguese don't pronounce weaker vowels. Example: the word "excelente". In Brazil they pronounce it with four syllables "e-se-len-tchi", in Portugal it's one syllable "shlent".
in Portugal it’s one syllable “shlent”.
This depends on the region. I'm from the North and I would say it more like "ayshlent".
We (Brazil) are the colony. That's why we move there and not the other way around, because they are rich and we are poor. Right?
i am goofing on the image i know, portugal is also like the easiest place to migrate from here so this makes sense
I'm actually surprised that China's only the 2nd biggest in one region. Even in the small town I'm from (less than 5k people) they're probably only behind Brazillians if they're behind at all.
this is from 2018 so it could be dated but i was also reading about brazilians leaving the country more due to you know THE DUDE
