Italian and Spanish has more similarities in pronunciation, French and Portuguese the same due to the nasal sounds. However in terms of grammar Spanish and Portuguese are really similar and Italian and French grammar is closer as well.
The thing is Portuguese does not have as much nasal sounds as French(especially Portuguese from Brazil which is more phonetically conservative than Iberian Portuguese). French has way more than Portuguese.
@@capeverdeanprincess4444No Portuguese is more nasaly than French Portuguese 6 son nasaly French 4 Portuguese is more nasaly
@@stephanedumas8329 It's not about the number of nasal sounds, it's about the frequency. French has a higher frequency of nasal words than Portuguese.
@@stephanedumas8329 It’s does not and it also depends on the type of Portuguese being spoken. The Portuguese from Lisbon and a little bit to the south of Portugal has a lot of Nasal sounds (equally as much as French or a little less). Portuguese to the north of Portugal and Brazil is spoken with wayy less nasal sounds and matches closely with Castilian when spoken. I have never heard of Portuguese having more nasal sounds than French(this video also shows that).
Italian and Spanish grammars are very close too, actually, as all the Latin languages share a very similar one. But Italian grammar is more similar to the Spanish one than the French.
To me I think Spanish is closer to Portuguese, not Italian..
As a Brazilian, I agree, but Italian has also a lot of similarities with Portuguese, even not as much as Spanish.
Yeah, as a Spaniard I agree
The pronunciation is more similar between Spanish and Italian. Now, Portguese speakers can easily understand Spanish. The reason is that Spanish doesn't have complex sounds as Portuguese and Italian have.
It is, I don’t understand how they can say Italian and Spanish are closer than Spanish and Portuguese. Spain and Portugal are neighbors and were united for a long time. Evidence points to Spanish and Portuguese being more similar.
@@RobertRod818 I think even pronunciation is more similar between Portuguese and Spanish.. I think Italian is clear sounding, like Spanish. that's why maybe someone can think they are more similar, but vowels and pronunciation of consonants is definitely more similar between Spanish and Portuguese.. also the words!
I think i'mma start learning Portuguese , it's the language that catches my attention the most in every video Love from Italy
Good Luck from Brazil!! 😊

Or fox. Raposa (Portuguese), Zorro (Spanish), Renard (French), Volpe (Italian).
I love their similarities , but the pronunciation of french is different , probably the easiest to guess among them , Portuguese and Spanish are most similar to each other for me
Pronunciation is more similar between Spanish and Italian. Also Portuguese and Italian Speakers can understand more when Spanish speakers speak versus the other way around. Reason is because Portuguese and Italian have extra sounds that Spanish doesn't have.
Honestly, I'd say it's pretty easy to tell them apart in both written and spoken forms. We'll start with French. FRENCH: Its spelling uses several accents and words which are English cognates are generally spelt the same way or only slightly differently (usually one or two letters differently). E.g. nation(s) is the same in English and French; agility is agilité... in fact, the usage of é is very very common compared to the other languages. It also uses ç like Portuguese but the surrounding words will be very obvious as to which of the two languages it is. Keep an eye out for "le, la, les". In terms of its sounds, it's very nasal sounding and uses the guttural R sound that's similar to the German one. The "schwa" (e) sound is very common. ITALIAN: Italian words generally end in vowels and this is a huge clue in both the written and spoken forms. Vowels tend to be quite simple compared to French and Portuguese. If you seea bunch of double consonants (especially zz-) as well as endings like ità; zion(e/i) it's probably Italian. The combination of gh- and gl- is also distinctly Italian. Also keep an eye out for "la, le, gli, i" etc. PORTUGUESE: Like French, it is a very nasal language but the nasal sounds are somewhat different. There's the nasal -em sound that isn't really used in French. The difference between European and Brazilian Portuguese in speech is that Brazilian varieties are much more sing-songy and a lot of words end in the sound "chee" and "gee" whereas European varieties often swallow syllables. Some people even say European Portuguese sounds a bit Russian to their ears. It uses combination letters like -ção and -ções. Look out for those as well as -dade endings, as well as "a, o, as, os". SPANISH: Like Italian, it has simple vowels but the main difference is that words more often end in consonants like n, s, z compared to Italian. It also uses combinations like oy and ue. If a word ends in -ción or -dad(es) it's probably Spanish. Keep a watch out for "la, el, las, los". Spanish tends to be spoken somewhat faster than the other languages from what I've heard of it. Oh, and some European varieties use the th sound like in English. Some people even say European Spanish sounds a bit like Greek due to various sound similarities.
@@RobertRod818Brazilian Portuguese has a lot of Italian influences... Especially for ppl from the southeast of Brazil which is Ana's case.
@@RobertRod818 perhaps it’s because Ana is from Brazil that it’s hard to hear but Portuguese and Spanish are more similar than either are to Italian.
@@henry247 Ana’s accent sounds pretty standard and neutral to me.
Even the accents in Brazil are very distinct too. Sometimes it feel like different countries

Romanian here. I don't think we're the type to cry for representation but i do find it very bothering when the Romanian language isn't represented when the presentation suggests "romance languages". I believe approximately 30 million speakers should be enough not to get ignored...
I also feel very ignored… because Romanian language is a real romance language. This video is not complete without Romanian language
I agree. They should look for a Romanian to join them
Up!
Sou brasileiro e concordo com você. 👍
Totally true. I'm Brazilian and lived in Switzerland, where I used to have a Romanian manager that thaught me that Romanian can be considered a latin language. Maybe it is ignored cause the country is in Eastern Europe.
Red in Portuguese for example is "Vermelho" , different from French (Rouge), Italian (Rosso) and Spanish (Rojo) , however is similar to Catalan (which Irene probably knows ) "Vermell"
in Italian the color "vermiglio" is a bright red
In Portuguese the word Roxo (purple) has the same etymology as rojo, rouge, and rosso, from Latin Russus
In Portuguese, there is also the word "rubro", and a specific type of red called "carmesim" (I suppose it's the same meaning of crimson)
@@MarcusPereiraRJ Carmesí in spanish. Rubro is related whit rubor, which means blush. Also from the same origin comes the term Rubio, that nowadays means blond, but in some parts of spain also means reddish (In Asturias it's used for the cows, vaca rubia.)
@@67claudius Same in French with "Vermeil" :) And also about the video, we also have "Azur" to speak about a clear blue (like the sky for example) The latin roots are really strong :p

Línguas estas que surgiram após o Colapso do Império Romano,.... ....surgindo de um distanciamento do latim vulgar, falado pelos soldados e classes mais baixas da sociedade romana em todos os Cantos do Antigo Império que foi invadido, em Massa, por Bárbaros, de maioria Germânica,.....e também pela mescla da língua Latina com manejos de falar de outros povos que já moravam ali(Celtas), e que eram vassalos do Império,..... ....ou também dos que viriam a morar ali,.... como os Povos Eslavos, por exemplo, e que ajudaram a moldar o latim vulgar falado nestes lugares(nestes cantos deste antigo Império)....surgindo novas línguas, as Línguas Românicas ou Neolatinas!!!

I wish they had someone from Romania in there too, I feel like we all forget they're a part of the Romance family. I've recently started getting more and more curious about Romanian 🥰
I really would like someone that represents Romania or Maldova when Latin languages are the topic. I feel that language is not getting enough love.
A Romanian speaker would be interesting indeed. But I consider it a bonus that Irene added some Catalan words (to compare them with Spanish) and that Ana also hinted at some differences between the Portuguese spoken in Brazil and that as spoken in Portugal.
An Aromanian too
@@saebica Often considered a dialect of the Romanian lnaguage though i do belive in some sense that it's only fair to consider it a language of its own. Pace voua frati armani, si multa iubire. Nu va lasati limba sa moara!
@@saebica I had to look up this language and I was totally unaware of it's existence. Fascinating to see where this language is spoken.
@@jasperkok8745 it's really hard for us to compare Brazilian Portuguese and Portugal Portuguese because they are really different on how we pronounce the words, to me, Portuguese from Portugal sounds like Russian
Fun fact: "pomodoro" means "golden apple". Pomo (apple) di (of) oro (gold). When tomatoes were imported in Europe, western Europe manteined the south-american word (tomato), while in Italy it was italianized, and the italian new word was adopted across eastern europe: in russian the word for "pomodoro" is "помидор" (pomidor).
Because of this, the first time i heard the wold pomodoro i tought it was talking about potatoes x')
I get what the Brasilian means with the "i" sound that pops out of nowhere in the word three. Diphtongues are very common in Portugese and we have the same in Québec French. So that's why some people might be surprised to see that France French sounds so different from Québec French cause Québec French is a bit like French with slight Portugese pronunciation, due to Québec having kept more of old French pronunciation. For instance "fiesta" in French is just "fête" but in Québec French it's pronounced like "fêite" (with the i very weak and fast, which is what diphtongues are)
That's interesting. Thanks for sharing it.
Na minha infância aprendi a escrever o número 3 de duas formas, "treis" ou "três", que eram válidas, em algum momento se passou a usar apenas "três", mas a pronúncia em algumas regiões continuou como "treis" destacando o i, mas em outras regiões, principalmente ao sul do Brasil a pronúncia adotada é "três" destacando bem o "e".
@@flavialucia4030na minha região em MG, falamos -três, dez, paz- sem esse i no meio.
@@WellingtonGeoAdmarroz ahhahaha quando eu morei em Contagem, eu estranhava isso mas depois me acostumei, a palavra saí mais suave e bonita
Like the French girl said at the end, it's quite easy to understand some words because they are so similar between Roman languages. The problems starts to come with verbs that lost or modified their original Latin meaning. Would be super interesting if you could do another episode but this time with verbs instead of nouns!
Ou adjetivos!
Well said... I'm tired of this "noun game"... a language is based also on rhythm, melody, intonation, etc.
It was awesome that you included Catalan too! It would be fascination to do Romanian as well as Gallego with the same group.
Yeah indeed, if they included a Romanian, they would have covered all the major latin languages
Catalan should not be included if they do not include the other languages of Spain.
The portuguese language was originated from Galego so these languages are almost the same although the Galicia entonation had been changed by the Spanish language influence due the geopolitics determinations.
The most faszinating word from catalan was "blau" for me. Because it's actually the same word for this color in german too. Also the pronounciation was really like in Germany. Impressive 😊😊😊
@@borxera5172 keep in mind that this video is about languages (not exactly countries). You can consider Catalan as the language of Andorra, if you prefer. But certainly, it would've been great to compare Portuguese and Galician, for exemple.
I'm Brazilian and Ana represents our language very well, but its kinda funny that the Portuguese language presented on these panels is Brazilian Portuguese, not Portuguese from Portugal, specially considering all the european countries/languages involved. On the other hand Brazil has the largest Portuguese speaking population so its understandable to have it as a Portuguese representative. I mention this because Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese have a lot of different many words, expressions and even interpretation (the Portuguese are more literal), and a huge difference in accent.
In the case of the words mentioned on the video, all of them are the same in Portugal, except for "tela", as in Portugal they usually say "éclã" that sounds very similar to French.
@@luksavat7750ecrã**
nop, we say 'ecrã'@@luksavat7750
@@luksavat7750 that's true, but remember when they were stunned by the "h" sound for Relógio? You wouldn't have that with european portuguese as we pronounce the R differently. The same for the end of Tomate - Brazilians pronounce the end as "chi" and we say it actually as "te".
@@MlleKnobs Most portuguese people pronounce the R in Relógio as a French R. They would find it awkward too, as they expected a Spanish RR (There are places in Brazil and Portugal where the initial R has that sound, but it's not the standard in any of both countries). And it's not true that Portuguese people pronounce TE in Tomate as a TE, it's actually pronounced as a T: (The final vowel is almost dropped).
The word "macaco", "macacque" etc. is actually a Portuguese loanword, meaning that European languages all borrowed it from Portuguese. To be fair though, the word originally comes from Africa, as it is thought to have been borrowed by Portuguese from a Bantu language. Interestingly, the word "cobra" likewise is a general term for "snake" in Portuguese, but designates a specific species/type of snake in all other European languages instead. In fact, what all other European languages call a "cobra" would actually be "naja" in Portuguese...
I guess Romanian would have been a fancy addition to that round…
Me, as a Brazilian, understand 90% of what Hispanics speak (the hardest are from Chile and Spain), Italian I understand about 60% and French is like... 20%
Concordo!
O espanhol argentino também é meio complicado de entender pelo sotaque bem carregado deles
Nice to learn. Here in Serbia we say: Cat - Mačka Monkey - Majmun Blue - Plavo Three - Tri Tomato - Paradajz Monitor - Monitor Clock - Sat Flower - Cvet...
5:00 As a German who speaks Spanish and Italian at least to some degree, it is amazing to hear that the Catalan word for blue is actually "blau" - the same as in German. In German "blau" means "blue", but there is also the word "azurblau" which is a more specific type of lighter blue just like in azzurro in Italian...
Yes, I already knew, but it’s indeed interesting that Catalan has blau! In Dutch we write it as blauw, but the pronunciation is the same as in German and Catalan.
Yep, the word was loaned into Medieval Latin from a West Germanic language (IIRC, it was probably Frankish "blau"), and Catalan seems to have preserved it the best. Funny thing to me is that the modern English word comes from Old French, but it replaced an Old English word from the exact same Proto-Germanic root, "blao" (which still exists as "blow" in some northern English dialects).
@@nicholassinnett2958 Interesting! I didn’t know, but it’s not really surprising that Catalan blau is a loan word of Germanic origin (given the similarity with German and Dutch).
It reminds me the legendary spanish Blau division 🤚
Blau its a pretty word in Catalan, German and Dutch. I guess Blau cames from ancient old germanic diverse of the word popcorn that cames from latin to english and to german.
Eu sou Brasileiro e entendo o Espanhol europeu perfeitamente e o Italiano se falar devagar. Vale lembrar que dependendo da forma como formularmos a frase facilita a compreensão das demais línguas. Eu acho interessante o fato de entendermos com mais facilidade as demais línguas românticas e eles terem bem mais dificuldades em entender o Português.
Realmente ,especialmente o português antigo tende a ter mais semelhanças.
Me pasa lo mismo, soy de 🇪🇸 y para mi leer portugués o italiano es sencillo, por ejemplo no he tenido que traducir tu comentario porque lo he entendido perfectamente. Sin embargo, a la hora de hablar para mi es más complicado. Creo que puedo llegar a entender el portugués o incluso el italiano si la persona habla despacio, puedo llegar a entender el contexto y algunas palabras.. pero si me hablan rápido es probable que no entienda ni una mrd lol. Tal vez sea por eso que nos cueste entender el portugués o al menos en mi caso. Ya que, como dije: el portugués lo puedo leer sin problemas pero a la hora de escucharlo o hablarlo me cuesta mucho. Aún así, amo que nuestro idioma sea tan parecido ❤
@@skirrix5165 Gracias hermano, saludo desde Rio
E mesmo assim entendem bem melhor alguns sotaques do Brasil do que o português de Portugal. Talvez os sotaques do Norte de Portugal sejam relativamente fáceis de entender pelos espanhóis, por serem mais cantados, mais próximos do castelhano, mas a Sul do rio Vouga (centro-norte) os sotaques são muito diferentes e até alguns brasileiros têm dificuldade em entender, mesmo sendo a mesma língua.
Sim, eu consigo assistir documentários em espanhol e entender 90% sem nunca ter estudado espanhol, basta prestar bem atenção nas palavras ignorando a sotaque...
As a Catalan speaker, the majority of words are ofc similar to Spanish but I realize there are some words (a lot) more similar to French or Italian. For example, Apple in spanish is Manzana but Poma in catalan, more similar to french Pomme. Also another example, Talk in spanish is Hablar but Parlar in catalan, which is very similar to italian Parlare
Catalan and Italian are more similar than Spanish and Catalan. Only French/Italian and Spanish/Portuguese have an higher similarity ratio than Italian/Catalan.
Frenchman here. I don't speak Catalan, but as a person interested in languages, I find that written Catalan has some real similarities with French but that it's closer to Spanish or Italian when I heard it.
Pomo is a somewhat an Italian old-fashioned alternative to the word apple and can be somehow connected to all round fruits. For this reason, tomato in Italian is "pomodoro", that is, a "pomo d'oro" (golden apple), because the first varieties of tomatoes were golden and small, and very similar to apples. Modern tomatoes are the result of the various grafts of Spanish and especially Italian farmers, who transformed a small yellow and sour fruit into the juicy fruit/vegetable we all know today.
Parle is also used in spanish
@@melinda6921 pomo is the name of all the false fruits of the Rosaceae (Apple, Pear, Quince, the fruit in Italy is called Nespole etc...). In English is Pome, in Portugues and Espanol is Pomo, in Francais Piridion. Tomato became Pomodoro because it's the literal traslation of Mala Aurea. Nobody know why it was called Mala Aurea but during the Middle Ages was common to call Mala-something the exotic fruits (for example, in Italian, Melanzana, Melograno, Melacotogna, Melarosa, Melangolo and in English Pineapple, wood apple, crab apple, custard apple etc...).
Eu sou italiano e também falo português e francês, além de várias línguas não-românicas. Embora se trate de idiomas bem parecidos em muitos aspectos, ainda assim existem muitas diferenças também, por vezes até enormes, pelo que é um exagero afirmar que são quase iguais.
Sono d'accordo.
A maioria dos brasileiros consegue entender muitas coisas do espanhol e italiano, se for falado bem devagar, porquê, apesar de muitas palavras diferentes, podemos entender no contexto.
Perfeita colocação, é muito mais fácil nós entendermos que vice-versa porque no português nós alteramos o som de algumas vogais e consoantes nas palavras.
@criscords I Brasiliani sono un caso a parte,perchè ci sono mlioni di brasiliani con origini italiane,come del resto in Argentina dove sono forse il 50% con origini italiane,il nostro "primo ministro" con i suoi complici si lamenta dell'arrivo di pochi migranti definendolo un tentativo di invasione,ma finge di non sapere che dopo i cinesi,i migranti italiani sono i piu numerosi in giro per il mondo,siamo ovunque,perfino in cina...

In french, "Bleu azur" is a shade of blue but the color is bleu Same thing happening for Brasilian "vermelho" which is red. In french we say "rouge" but "rouge vermeille", is a shade of red. In France we don't really use "moniteur" for a screen unless it's a professional description toward a client I guess. Other that that we say "écran" like the Italian girl said "schermo" instead of monitoro for trying to make a similarity
there's also the monitor in portuguese which is a kind of supervisor, someone "monitoring" the area or job :P
@@offsdexter2 In french the other use of "moniteur" or "monitrice" is for the person in charge of keep an eye on kids during trips for example...
in italy we say schermo meaning something like a tv display, display if we're tallking about a mobile phone and monitor if we're talking about a pc. Maybe it could be sound funny and use the word schermo is correct in all three cases but nobody would say schermo del pc, just monitor. so it depends on what we are talking about.

Portuguese and Spanish are more similar than Spanish and Italian . I don’t get how they could say Italian and Spanish are more similar?? Spanish and Portuguese also evolved closely to one another due to being extremely close neighbors.
They're just unthinkingly repeating a popular meme in the English speaking world; that Spanish and Italian are very similar. While they are similar, Spanish and Portuguese are even more similar because like you said, they're nextdoor neighbors.
I think spanish and italian sounds more similar. But portuguese and spanish have more similar words
@@nixns.8131 Even in sounds I think Portuguese(from north Portugal and Brazil) is closer to Spanish than Italian is. In some cases, yes Italian and Spanish are more similar in sounding than Portuguese but not by much.
Exactly, Portuguese and Spanish have 90% similarities, while Italian and Spanish have 82% similarities according to Babbel. They are in fact mutually similar and I think what differs the difficulty in understanding is th phonetics, since Spaniards have more difficulty understanding Portuguese than the other way around.
@@nixns.8131 Portuguese and Spanish are more similar. They are both Ibero-Romance languages. Reading a text in Portuguese is very easy for a Spanish speaker, who never ever learned Portuguese. The same applies vice versa. Italian will prove to be more challenging. Portuguese and Spanish share more lexical similarity to each other, plus their grammar is almost identical, whereas Italian has more similar grammar, and generally more similar vocabulary to French. Only in the pronunciation do Italian and Spanish seem more alike.
I’m from Brazil. I speak Portuguese as a first language and English as a second language, but I understand 80% of Spanish and 70% of Italian, even though I’ve never studied it before.
I'm Italian and I understand quiet a lot of Spanish, quiet nothing of Portuguese and French. Although French is lexically more similar to Italian than Spanish. Italian and French have the same lexical similarity than Portuguese and Spanish.
Like most romance language speakers. As nossas línguas são quase iguais. E sendo portuguesa ainda mais por estarmos tão perto.
French and english share a lot of vocabulary words, many of them are written the same way but pronounced differently (but not so much when we compare french to other latin languages). Some faux-amis that can make conversation funny. English is a germanic language with latin substracte, french is a latin language with germanic substracte. They are mirror and complementary.
5:45 Someone just discovered Grimm's Law, and the Indo-European link between Romance and Germanic languages. Always fun to see, as someone with a bit of an interest in linguistics.
Great video! I'd love to see a Romanian in this type of word differences
For us in order it would be: pisică (the word is basically how we say the cat sounds) maimuța (monkey and of course we also use macac, the word is from Greek or Turkish) albastru (from the Latin albaster, we also have "azur" and "bleu" for lighter blue which is taken directly from French) trei (3) roșie (which comes from our word for red: "roșu" that is also from the Latin roseus, like the Spanish rojo or the French rouge. We also have tomata but it's rarely used) monitor (also ecran) ceas (which also can mean hour, it comes from old Slavonic; we also have orologiu via either Italian or directly Latin but we use it for the big clocks in public places, on buildings) floare (directly from Latin) Sorry but I didn't try to explain the pronunciation, I guess you can guess it, Romanian has a couple extra letters like ă î ș ț but they are close to their corresponding letters a i s t.

In galician we say: 1.cat(cat) 2.mono(monkey) 3.monitor(monitor) 4.azul(blue) 5.tres(three) 6.tomate(tomato) 7. monitor/pantalla (monitor) 8.reloxo/vixiar (clock) 9.flor (flower)
todas las palabras iguales al castellano excepto reloj jajajaja
O sea casi lo mismo que en Español
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 hello! i have been truly enjoying learning about languages for the past few days with this channel. this panel definitely passes the vibe check for me. they had a super relaxed chemistry. i got a peaceful vibe from this group of young women. they were, thoughtful, courteous (hardly any talking over each other), and had interesting insights about the differences & similarities. i’ll be sure to check out more of the vids featuring this chill squad. thanks again!
I love this channel. I'm glad you're keeping Ana on many videos, she is really very smart. Hugs from Brazil
Romanian is also a romance language. For cat is ''Pisică'', monkey is ''Maimută'' for the general and it isn't Macaco for a specie of monkey. Blue is ''Albastru''. Number three is ''trei''. Tomato is ''Roșie'' because is a red vegetable and for the colour red is ''roșiu''. The monitor one is like the same as Spanish and French used to the screen as the trainer. Clock is ''Ceaș'', flower is ''Floare''. Maybe romanian is more difficult to understand for the few vocals and consonants.
3:55 in Portuguese there is also símio (simian) for the generic group of New World Monkeys and Great Apes. It just sounds technical in everyday language. The word macaco probably became commonplace in Brazil as there the New World Monkeys are the most common group of primates one would see (other than the human great apes, of course) and, thus, the slightly more specific group name became the most popular reference for Apes or Primates in the language.
No, the word "macaco" is a generic and common word to refer to monkeys in Portugal as well. This word came from a Bantu language in Africa through Portuguese contact and Portugal spread it across Europe, but curiously all other languages use it as a term for a specific type of monkey, while in Portuguese it is a generic term.
Same in spanish, we also have the word _simio_ for apes but we can also use it to refer to monkeys. It can be used as a synonym for _mono_ (though we often use mono instead of simio) or as a type of monkey just like _macaco_
In Mexico they also use the word "chango", which coincidentally sounds similar to the French word "sange".
OMG such gorgeous girls, really the world is a beatiful place.
I fell in love with Brazil, she’s stunning
Irene is a person with a personality closer to Brazilians. For Irene, everything is a reason for joy, she smiles at all times, speaks with a smile, which is very similar to the personality of Brazilians.
I love Ana's voice, her accent, and her fluency in speaking English, I'd like to speak like her in the near future.
Sou uma pessoa simples. Tem Ana, tem like e tem eu pedindo pra sair com ela 😂😂
Eeeee ooooo, vida de gado.....kkkk.

I'm Brazilian, fluent in Portuguese, English, Spanish and French. All the Latin languages are similar because they came from Latin (except English). But the language that are more similar are Portuguese and Spanish 😊❤
I don't speak Portuguese, but I love the "music" of Brazilian Portuguese.
Estou amando escutar as pronúncias em várias línguas. Apesar de não falar inglês entendo de que se trata o vídeo
As always, portuguese and spanish are like close brothers, and french and italians, are like cousins.
When she starts by asking if everyone uses the same alphabet, it shows how unfamiliar North Americans are with other cultures.
I will do romanian as we are always forgotten: •Cat - pisică (turkish origin) •Monkey - maimuță (greek origin) •Blue - albastru (latin) •Three - trei (latin) •Tomato - roșie (latin) •Monitor - monitor (?) •Clock - ceas (old slavonic origin) •Flower - floare or flori in plural (latin)
Fico impressionado é que nos comentários a maioria dos espanhóis diz que é mais fácil entender o português do Brasil que o de Portugal que é vizinho!
É que o português do Brasil é mais melódico, nós pronunciamos todas as vogais e consoantes de maneira melódica, em Portugal a pronúncia é mais fechada, rápida e consonantal.
@@viciouswildmuito interessante eu não sabia!
As a second generation Mexican American who grew up understanding Spanish but usually responding in English, it's a little funny that it took me taking French in middle and high school to get me to finally get better at my Spanish. Like numbers past 20, months, and even days of the week. Since I grew up on the border, the crutch of Spanglish made it not entirely necessary to have it all down. For that reason (I assume) I understood it all when said to me, but my working vocabulary sucked and I'd forget correct words and usage in the moment until I learned French. So French helped my working vocabulary, I guess.
6:26 The "i" that she uses it is because the Brazilian accent if you listen Portuguese from Portugal we say it without the "i". Brazilians use a lot of "dji", "ei" when they speak and when the letter is an "e" thay say it like "ei", that why it sound like treis and not três.
Exatamente....curioso isso mas a explicação vem dos inúmeros imigrantes q se instalaram de Norte ao sul do Brasil fazendo o idioma português (temos mt orgulho dessa língua) sofrer pequenas alterações no falar....
European Portuguese sounds very "dry" because you cut so many syllables short and it isn't as "sing-songy" as Brazilian variants.
It depends on the region in Brazil, and there're differences even in the regions. I'm from northeast Brazil (RN state) and we do not use the 'dji' or 'tchi' sounds for 'd' and 't', maybe the 'i' sound in a few words. What we do, though, is cutting out some 's' and even some vowels in the end of the words, that's why southeasterners and southerners say that northeasterners speak way too fast.
@@eduardosantos5078 Bom, não existe hoje dado concreto que prove isso e são muitas as teorias do porquê nos distanciamos tanto da pronúncia europeia do português, mas eu diria que isso teve muito mais a ver com a falta de contato entre as duas variantes, visto que não haviam só imigrantes lidando com uma nova língua, mas também os nativos e os "imigrantes" que vieram em navios negreiros, portanto, forçados. Comunicávamos por cartas e, até a invenção do rádio, já havia uma cultura de consumo de mídia brasileira por meio de jornais. Quando a TV surgiu, o rádio já havia criado a hegemonia de cultura proveniente da nossa nação e isso contribuiu ainda mais com o distanciamento.
Sem contar que a língua é viva, então as duas evoluíram sob as influências que estavam ao seu alcance.
As a brazilian person, i guess the brazilian's portuguese is different than Spanish and Italian because we speak - mainly the final words - different than what is written. The word 'tomate', for example, the correct is final "te", but we say "tchi" in many parts of the Brazil. The big parts of the South and Northeast speakers more correctly the final words.
Great video.. I like that Catalan was included as well
Irene could make a video trying to speak Catalan , one of the languages of Spain like Galician ( it's even more similar to portuguese than spanish ) or Basque
...
Galician sounds way more like Brazilian Portuguese than Catalan... Its almost the same accent
@@henry247 No, it does not sound like BrPt
@@vooides It does...Im Brazilian and it sounds really close to our accent and it also has more similar words to portuguese than Spanish...
Basque would be very interesting, it's a language unlike anyone else.
I absolutely love these videos comparing languages
So Gooooood!!! I like your team and work! From Uzbekistan
You should include Portugal more often in this kind of videos...it's super interesting to see the differences between Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish and Italian!
Portugal is like Brazil's son in economy and population, and they speak ugly Portuguese. Greetings from Brazil.
9:05 - In the other Portuguese-speaking countries the word for screen is "écrã" (derived from the French "écran"). "Tela" is a type of film that's used to cover things or to isolate floors and roofs, or where you project images with a projector. 🙂
Not in Brazil, tho. We use the word "Tela" for any type of screen. "Monitor", as she said in the video, is used for the whole electronic device, not the screen.
@@JorgeBriggs - What part of _"In the OTHER Portuguese-speaking countries"_ didn't you understand? Also, I was especifically talking about the screen, not the whole electronic device.
Yeah, in Brazil we use "tela" for both. Actually I use it as a key word to know if a translation is in Brazilian Portuguese or not.
@@module79l28 Yeah, I didn't see it. rude af, damn
Yep, also "screen" actually has the same root as "écran"
Fun fact about 7:35 pomodoro. Pomodoro literally translate into Pomo = apple D'oro = gooden So, when tomatos arrived in Europe from Americas everybody took the aztec name tomatl, and italians said "well that's look like a golde apple let's call it this way". That's why we know the original color of tomatoes was yellow, the red come later
finally, i've been waiting for this for so long great video :)
I am a simple Brazilian guy, if I see Ana in the thumbnail, I click on it.
literalmente 90% dos brasileiros são assim, se tem brasil na thumb tem invasão br
I think Portuguese uses "macaco" for monkey probably because macaques are the only specie of monkeys in Portugal. Brazil retained "macaco" because macaque species don't exist in the America's since they are old world monkeys, so there's no confusion calling everything "macaco." English borrowed a lot Latin words to describe monkeys as well such as "macaque, simian, primate," etc.
And there was an hour that one of the participants used "sciemie" something like that, which would be very close to the "Símio" in Portuguese which is used more by the scientific community😅
scimmia in Itallian is símio in portuguese, símio is the group of primates where macaco (monkey) is in.
We actually have other words to describe some different species and variants of "monkeys". Words like "Mico" (small species of monkeys),símios ou primatas(Chimps, gorilas, bonobos).
@@FallenLight0simio en español también
In Italian the word "scimmia" correspond to the scientific infaorder "simiiformes" of which both apes and monkeys are a part, the translation in English of "scimmia" is "simian". Monkey is a suborder of Simiiformes, in Italian there isn't an equivalent of monkey. In Espanol the word "mono" is not the same of "scimmia" for example a Gorilla and a Human are "scimmia" but not "mono".
Moreeee please, love them all 🙏🏻😍
Mdr j'adore les débats qu'ils font entre eux a chaque mot
This video should have 10 hours.
os portugueses devem ter odiado ter uma brasileira nao uma portuguesa pra falar português nesse video 😂😂
sou portuguesa e nem por isso. a menina referiu sempre "in brazil" e não "in portuguese", o que demonstrou imenso cuidado da parte dela. então, não, fernanda. nós portugueses não nos importamos minimamente. 😘
@@r.5893 olha já vi vários comentários do tipo nesses videos entao vc pode não ter se importado mas alguns sim

I am in love with Spanish language ❤❤❤❤ I am actually trying to learn that too Love from the states (USA) ❣️
adorei o vídeo! interessantíssimo ouvir as relações e diferenças entre línguas românticas, sem contar as moças que são super carismáticas. acabei de descobrir esse canal e to viciado 😂😂
The fact is that Italian, French and Portugese are languages witch comes from Latin. That's why they have lots of similarity while English comes from old German. So English in the words and prononciation is the one that is the most different between all these languages.
Spanish comes from latin too and portuguese from Portugal and spanish from Spain comes from arab dialets of north african berbers
English and French share a lot of vocabulary, what's mostly different is the grammar and the way to pronounce them.
English is a Germanic language, but more words come from Latin and French than they do from German. Less than a third of words come from German, so your statement is somewhat overreaching.
Im from Brazil and i understand like 90% of spanish and 75ish% of Italian... Ofc there are some slangs i wont know although ik some of them..
Moças muito inteligentes e lindas representando os seus países. 👏🏻❤
Tô amando esses videos!!💖
European Portuguese missing in action lol, but Ana was a very good representative of the language. The pronunciation and intonation is quite different between Brazilians an the Portuguese, there are also a lot of distinct words, for instance "bus" (eng) is pronounced autocarro (pt-pt) and ônibus (pt-br). PS- I'm fluent in all these languages and also German. Very interesting video :)
Finally someone saying the right thing ! Ive been trynna explain this and the only thing that the channel does is delete my comment 🤣
I was looking for this comment. The video missed a bit of the original purpose when you mix all the European versions of the other languages, but for some reason use the South American version of the Portuguese. Not because any other thing, it's just that understandably Portuguese from Portugal is way more similar to the others than the Brazilian version. But oh well 😅
@@joanasoares7798 thanks very much
@@joanasoares7798 Provavelmente deve ser porque o Português mais falado é o do Brasil
Além de que o proposito do video é mostrar as diferenças entre as línguas, não as similaridades (Está no título)
That Portuguese R that sounds like H could be related to the French R, just really soft.
Wow interesting, I never thought of it that way! But I think "R" is more complex in Portuguese. It is pronounced as "h" at beginning of words such as "rato (mouse)," "roupa (cloth)," "rio (river)," etc. or "rr" such as "carro (car)," "terra (earth)," etc. However, there are also many words "r" is pronounced closer to the Spanish "r" such as "caro (expensive), "esperar (to wait), "Brasil," etc. In French, the "R" is pronounced consistently in the back of the throat.
@@mintheman7 It's a rhotic consonant, and it actually comes from the same pronunciation as in French. In many parts of Portugal, they still pronounce it as a very strong r, which probably became softened in Brazil because the native languages didn't have that sound. Also, it probably came from French, as it was a very pretigious language in Europe, and in Galician-Portuguese and even modern Galician, the r is pronounced just like in Spanish.
No, the emphasis in Italian word "gatto" is neither in the a nor in the o, it's in the "t"s. As the Spanish girl keenly said, the stop is between the first and the second t, if you want to simplify. Actually she said it perfectly: you first pronounce (the docking to) the first t, then you don't let air pass for a moment and then you pronounce (the release of) the second one. She noticed instantly a thing that the Italian girl and many Italian people have never noticed in their entire life speaking Italian.
As an Italian, who surely got a lot of rapresentation on this channel, I think Romanian should be included in this videos about Latin languages. Their language is beautiful, their people proud, and they've all the right to be included in videos about the greatest European culture, ie. the Latin Brotherhood
Thank you so much Irene for including Catalan! 😃
welcome :) Spain has a rich culture and many languages , so I wanted to share it with you all 😇
I'm in total agreement with English feeling like a language that lacks something (feeling, emotion, passion, spice)... although, there's the phenomenon where you get past the foreign sounding stage of learning a language and it loses its "wow" listening quality.
Yes!
I agree with you and disagree with you. I think the more basic way of speaking English isn’t very emotionally deep or passionate. However, English at a poetic/prose level is beautiful and powerful. I say this as someone of a creative/journalist background that we go by KISS, Keep It Simple Stupid when addressing mass audiences. I don’t converse with foreigners or even most native English speakers the way I do with my colleagues because they likely wouldn’t understand or would feel intimidated. But I think that’s why so many famous novelists are native English speakers is because the language can be easily crafted in clever ways. Also the King James Bible is beautifully written IMO. But Romance languages like French and Italian give off depth even at basic levels because they are so flowy.
@@anndeecosita3586 I can agree with that. I suppose my original comment was more referring to the sound and rhythm of the language. The history behind its roots. How much passion you can express. The love that you can feel when listening. You're completely on point in regards to written English being very different in that sense of poetry/story-telling.
Pretty much all languages sound dull to their first speakers. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence,
american english
So nice. I like so much when you guys compare latim languages.
Italians call tomatoes golden apples because they use to think that they are poisonous. Even when pizza was invented, they still used pomodoro.
Yes people though tomatoes were poisonous but they were not called pomodori because of that. They were called like this because the first tomatoes to arrive from the Americas were yellow, not red
Tomatoes which where actually originated from Peru
Singe in French and scimmia in Italian are all cognates to simio (ape) in Spanish and símio (ape) in Portuguese. All come from Latin Sīmius.
in Ukrainian, we say: cat - кіт (kit) monkey - мавпа (mavpa) blue - синій (synij) / блакитний (blakytnyj) three - три (try) tomato - помідор (pomidor) monitor - монітор (monitor) clock - годинник (godynnyk) flower - квітка (kvitka )
I love that they reference Catalan in this video, It reminds of how we in Portugal love Galicia, Galician and the Galicians themselves
*5:12** In French, "azur" is a type of Blue, like the blue of the sky or the sea. That's why we say "Côte-d'Azur"* 🌊
