Brazil /Portugal language differences part 2
Remarks:
Some words have an acute accent (´) in European Portuguese, but a circumflex accent (^) in Brazilian Portuguese. Example: bebé > bebê (baby), quilómetro > quilômetro (kilometer). Some words have a letter c in European Portuguese, but not in Brazilian Portuguese. Example: acção > ação (action), director > diretor (director). Some words (especially clothes) are used in the plural form in European Portuguese, but in the singular form in Brazilian Portuguese. Example: calças > calça, (trousers), sapatos > sapato (shoes). Some words used in European Portuguese have a completely different meaning in Brazilian Portuguese. Example: apelido (nickname), chouriço (sausage made of blood = black pudding). |
