I'm french and i've met quite a few portuguese over the years as there is a large portugese community here in France. Most of them have pale skin and light eyes but i would have never guessed you were portuguese. I would have said Irish or english. My friends with portugese origins are really nice and very proud of their parents country. i've never been to Portugal but i've only heard great things about it. Sounds like a beautiful country!
K Le Blanc, I totally agree with you. I'm Irish,she would easily pass as an Irish girl. I'm learning French and Portuguese,both are romance languages and very similars. Well,I visited Portugal in 2017,and I was really impressed how similars are Portuguese people and Irish people,specially traits,eyes,etc...Some people say many clichés about Portuguese, some say they are swarthy. But in general they're pale. Portugal had a huge celtic influence in the past. Celtic people from Iberia migrated to British Islands. That's why Irish,Portuguese,Spanish and French have many traits in common. The truth is that French,Spanish,Portuguese and Irish have over 70 per cent of celtic DNA.
I’ve done a genetic test and I am 96% Portuguese of Celt ancestry... the other 4% is minor from the British isles. I’m blonde, very pale with green eyes!
@Kassandra. You got me interested with your insightfull comment so i've looked up Portugal history and it looks like Portugal have been conquered by the moors ( If your interested search for "The iberian peninsula in 750" ). Correct me if i'm wrong because i didn't go in depth in my research. What is even more interesting for that matter is the Portuguese colonial empire. Slaves were brought from Africa and India to Portugal. You'd think that children of these slaves would end up being portuguses and influencing the traits of todays portuguese traits. I was really interested in doing one of those DNA test but after finding out that it was not as accurate as i thought it was, i gave up but i love the idea of knowing where your ancestors lived. What i love even more is how going back in time makes us Humans more than anything else because you'll always find that you share DNA with human beings coming from various places of the plante. just like Chá das cinco beautifully said:"That's why Irish,Portuguese,Spanish and French have many traits in common". France, Spain, Portugal,etc. all those countries seem to have always been a crossroads in human routes of migration so it's like we shouldn't even be surprised with all the DNA meltingpot at this point.

There was a slave market in the South of Portugal. And again in the South, some wealthy individuals did have slaves until it was banned by the King. I don’t know what happen to them. Back then people were very prejudice against outsiders and people that looked different. I know that prior to 1974 no one from the empire could come to Portugal without a license and no Portuguese could leave the country without a license too. I’m know men misbehaved in the colonies that’s why the vast majority of the population of Brazil are mixed by white men and Native American women and black women. I don’t think those men were allowed to bring their families to Portugal due to the racism back then but they could do pretty much what they wanted in the colonies! I know, it’s so disgusting!
I’m blond, green eyes, very pale and I am Portuguese. One of my friends is ginger hair and blue eyes, very very pale and yes she is also a native Portuguese just like myself. Most people that come from my town are light hair, light eyes and pale. I think different people from different regions of Portugal look different. People from Lisbon and the South look different from people from Northern Portugal.
Anna Lots of fair people in the south too. Difference is the climate. In Algarve they get many more days of sunshine in a year, compared to the north, so many are tanned .
Lots of my immediate family have blue or green eyes, pale skin and light coloured hair too. I’ve actually traced my family tree back to the 1600s are we are 100% from Algarve.
@@lorenam.l.5788 How do you know your family is in Portugal since 1600? Realy I want to know mine too, I know my great great grandfather was in America in 1880 but I am not sure if he was American or Portuguese, you must tell me please.
Hi , I live in the UK and people here always tell me I can’t be Portuguese because I am not dark enough or brown eyed . ( I am super white and blue eyed ) so I always reply , have you met all the Portuguese in the world ?! ❤️🇵🇹
we have 6.5% of G2a from causcasus. Georgia, Chechenya etc. Brown Hair and Pale skin are common, Brown eyes but not dark eyes, and also lighter eyes. Im about to do my DNA test but MY GUESS it will be 10-20% jewish-North african. And also G2a but mostly Italian and Western european as main 50%. i do have brown hair same as the Bon Amie , and brown eyes also not that dark. , i had ambar Hazel eyes sometimes green on the light when i was younger for some reason i got alot of pigmentation. I would LOVE to have Hazel eyes again, it's one of my goals in life ahahaha.
Portuguese as well, very pale, very tall ( 178cm), with green eyes ( actually one is green and blue and the other is hazer, but usually they look green most of times) and golden brown hair. Usually i'm mistaken for English, Russian or Ukranian and so are my sister and mother.
Italians tho have the same physical traits as Spanish and greek and Portuguese, tanned skin, dark hair and dark eyes cause all of those are Mediterranean countries
“When you’re Portuguese, you speak about Portugal all the time” ✅🇵🇹❤️ That’s what I do. 😂 Then you know you are Portuguese. Unconditional love. From 🇨🇦.
I am 100% Portuguese born & raised in Lisbon of Minho heritage, therefore, I have Celtic, Roman and German heritage. I am 1.75m, yes I have hips, I have dark blond hair, light skin and blue eyes. Am I a surprise for a Portuguese woman? Not if you really know Portugal!
Maria Da Conceicao Barros Goncalves Da Silva that’s the point, this girl (she’s probably from the south,) described Portuguese women as mixed Brazilians. If she lived in the north or central area she would know that she’s not that white compared to some portuguese girls for the north, she doesn’t have even straight hair.... terrible how someone can screw up his own compatriots !
that is the point , Portuguese were special people with strong isolated culture and costumes other people don't know a shit about other peoples so that is the answer
Love your channel ! Keep going to make more videos about Portugal and Norway.and also, please share your travel experiences with us🙂 hugs from Dublin 💚
Many people don’t know how Portuguese people look like. They look at our football team and think that people look like them. About 70% of footballers in our national football team come from the ex colonies like Pepe from Brazil, Nani from Cape Verde, Renato Sanches from Cape Verde and so on so forth. Native Portuguese are white with different hair colours and eye colours. Some are more tanned others more pale.
@@luandeoliveira144 Tu é que renegas a própria raça queres ser preto. Não é o que querem ou deixam de querer é o que é, os portugueses têm origem em povos brancos e são maioritariamente brancos, um branco queimado do sol continua a ser um branco. Alguns tem mais ou menos mistura que outros de povos semíticos de 1 a 10% de mistura devido à invasão Arabe mais nada.
Very true! However from what I understand in the North they tend to be lighter fair haired and South darker? I've known many red head Portuguese as well!
Luan de Oliveira nos gostamos de ser morenos, em facto no verao parecemos todos arabos ou tunisianos. Mas quando o sol sai ficamos brancos como a neve (no porto)
Trish156 thats true, although we kind of change colors depending on the time of the year lmaoo, in summer we are very dark but when winter comes its a different story!
So christiano is not Portuguese since not white enough for you? You are ashamed of some of your compatriots, in addition the most beautiful and the most beautiful are the browns not too white. I discover Portuguese complexed, it's sad
I'm Portuguese as well, born and raised in S.miguel Island, and moved 4 years ago to England, and everyone is always surprised that i'm Portuguese. Loved the video. and agree 100% . Are we even Portuguese if we arent rabugentos? ahah Keep up the good work ;)
I´m Portuguese and have pale skin, green eyes and dirty blond hair. I´m from Madeira. I don´t understand why do other people think people from Portugal tanned like Italians or Greeks. We are not.
It is noticed that you do not know Italians and Greeks to believe that they are even more brunet in pigmentatio of skin than the Portuguese. Even Southern Italians and Greeks are whiter than the Portuguese and the Southerm Spanish. In general I would say that Italians and Greeks are whiter in skin color than Spaniards, but Spaniards have a higher percentage of light eyes than Greeks. The Portuguese, on the other hand, are only compared with the Italians from Sardinia and with the Spanish from the south.
There is a big variety in phenotypes in Italy, too. Lots of fair skinned and also blue-eyed Italians in the northern parts of Italy. Northern Italians look more like Austrians, Swiss or Southern Germans than they look like Southern Italians.
@@maximilianmustermann5763 In fact, the phenotype differences between northern and southern Italians have been greatly exaggerated for reasons of a political nature, since the north has always wanted to separate itself from the rest of the peninsula. In the north of Italy as well as in the south of the peninsula it is possible to find a great number of dark and Moorish-looking types as well as a great number of fair skinned types as well as blond and red-haired blue eyes. From north to south of Italy, you will find people who look like Turks or Lebanese and people who look like Austrians or Irish. But in general, the pigmentation that predominates in most Italians is brown in the color of the hair and eyes, whereas in the color of the skin it is on average half olive color and the other half is pinkish or pale with variations from north to south.
@@maximilianmustermann5763 But I insist on saying that the Portuguese and the South Spaniards in terms of pigmentation only compare with the Italians in Sardinia and with the darkest parts of Calabria and Apulia. And it is clear that even in these regions it is possible to find a significant minority of fair skinned and light-eyed people and even some blond and redheads. But the pigmentation is predominantly dark.
My father is northern Portuguese and a lot of my cousins are light eyed and blond hair as children. I saw a good number of light eyed people in Porto when I visited, more than I expected. I myself have hazel green eyes
Yes Moni, stereotypes can be a pain in the butt! All my life people have asked if ”I’m sure I’m Portuguese, am I Portuguese on both sides, meaning are both my parents are Portuguese! My %100 dark haired, dark eyed & olive skinned Norwegian friend has had the same questions asked of her! It’s one of many reasons we became friends back in high school!
😂😂 I'm Portuguese leaving in the UK. Often I hear people ( Polish especially) tell me:" no way you Portuguese, you lying! All because I'm pale skin and green eyes 😂😂😂
All young Portuguese people speak Spanish and English fluently? Me impresionó, al ver varios videos de chilenos viviendo en tu país, lo bien que los portugueses hablan castellano. Reciben entonces una buena educación y eso es genial.
Eu trabalhei 2 anos com sevilhanos cá em Portugal e fui obrigado a falar portunhol com ele pq não entendiam nada. Sou grato porque essa experiência deu me a possibilidade de ser práticamente fluente em espanhol. É raro aprender se espanhol na escola em Portugal precisamente por ser muito fácil de entender.
Idiot, from the USA here. Keep doing videos you enjoy doing, your banter and personality are top-notch! Although personally, I'd be curious to see a Q&A from a pure-Norwegian perspective (perhaps one of your native friends?). Regardless, I'll watch every video you make (I don't eat sweets, but watch your dessert videos all the time haha).
It seem like a lot of Mediterranean people want to have the blonde Nordic look which I don’t understand as Mediterranean Europeans have the better skin that doesn’t burn in the sun.
Oi, a Senhora é muito comunicativa e agradável. Moro atualmente no nordeste do Brasil, e encontro milhares de pessoas aqui exatamente com suas características físicas!
Good fit. I've heard Norwegians hate small talk, too. But they probably are less dramatic. A number of your comparative videos have been helpful in understanding Portugal and the Portuguese, which is my current project. My first post-vaccination vacation will be to Lisbon and the Azores. And in the future I'm strongly leaning towards having a second home in northern Portugal. Thank you for making these videos, Mon (Marie?). Insightful.
i find that norwegians are very isolated and anything other than blue eyes and blond hair gets labelled as being from southern europe...even though many norwegians themselves don't have blond hair and blue eyes
I live in Toronto, Canada and have only met two - three Portuguese people here. I would have thought you were Irish or maybe Scandinavian but not Portuguese. I like your personality and am wondering if that is typical of Portuguese people. You seem so sweet and friendly though I have heard that Portuguese people tend to stick to themselves unless you ask for help. Then they will go out of their way to help you...
I’m 10% Portuguese and I definitely picked up a lot of traits. I have dark brown thick hair, dark brown eyes and white skin but not pale. I tan and not sun burn. I talk loud, I love onions in everything, I’m asking if I’m Italian.
Azorean Portuguese- Canadian girl... Black wavy/curly hair, medium brown eyes, rosy cheeks, upturned small nose, olive skin that tans to a light brown, curvy body, and 5”8 😉
Oh and I forgot - I would love to see a part 2 of this video where you would compare characteristics of a "typical" Portuguese women vs. a "typical" Norwegian woman, I think it could be very interesting! Btw., that description of a typical Portuguese person in this video was so spot on! I couldn't stop laughing! (PS, I don't think you are rabugenta ;)
we could even compare three different women characteristics - Norwegan or "Nordic" (Maria), Portuguese or "southern" (you) and Slovak or "Slavic" (myself) and see how the different cultures view women and their position in the society and what is "expected" of a typical women in each culture or something... just an idea ;)
This vlog was most revealing because where I’m from (USA-Seattle ) we have no idea what the Portuguese are like. I’ve been to Bilbao and Iglacia and assume there are similarities. My wife’s family comes from Vadheim Norway and have that family name and heritage from Lasse Vadheim who settled in Wisconsin and Minnesota USA. My wife’s father moved from Minnesota to Tacoma WA in 1943. In 1967 my wife and I (age 23) visited Oslo, Stockholm and Copenhagen. I was a graduate architect (1966) in the US Army at the time (1967). Love your vlog and wish you well for a satisfying life as an architect and all it promises for a full and productive life. You’ve definitely got the the right idea with a love of travel. Eventually you might even become a genuine human, however I think you are already there except for you sister’s lead with a child. Keep up the good work. Richard Bittmann, Architect, Tacoma, WA
I'm from Brazil and a lot of the Portuguese stereotypical characteristics seem to fit the Brazilian stereotype. It's as if I were hearing someone describe Brazilians xD And here I thought the stereotype was the complete opposite
You are ``Celtic Gaelic Galician Portuguese`` that is the Scientific Geneitics of Portuguese Peoples which is the Identical Genetics of ``Celtic Gaelic Irish People of The Republic of Ireland South``R1b CELTIC GAELIC Galician Portuguesa identical to R1b CELTIC GAELIC GAEILGE--GALICIAN--IRISH--PORTUGUESE PEOPLE of The Republic of Portugal Together with Our Genetic Celtic brothers and Sisters of Christian Celtic Gaelic Gaeilge Republic of IRELAND, Republica Portuguesa com a Republica da Irlanda com a Republica de Brasil povos Celtas Gaelica Gaeilge--Galiciana Irlandesa--Portuguesa Galegas Celtas Brancos e Brancas Povos da ``Republica de Portugal`` mesma Genetica Branca com os Celtas Brancas Povos da ``Republica da Irlanda`` com a Republica do Brasil Povos Celtas Brancas e Celtas Brancos CELTAS POVOS CHRISTIANIDADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..............................................................................................................................................................!!!!................
It is good to remember that we were colonized by Portugal, and there is a lot of people in Brazil who has portuguese ancestry. I am brazilian, and have pale skin and green eyes. And as Bea said, i also recognized our country in many of the characteristics that were told by her.
I'm Portuguese, and I am very white with greenish eyes and dark hair (when I was young not so much hair now but I suppose it would be graying). Funny though, even within my siblings, we have differences brother had brown eyes tanned easily and sisters as well but I don't tan to good so I like to stay out of the sun as I burn. I am very white.
Some Portuguese traits are excatly Dutch traits. My Dutch in Laws & their friends are also stubborn, are direct, have a sweet tooth, love to argue passionately, fill up your plate until you risk exploding, etc!
You may have answered this already but I read that Portuguese people and Southern Europeans in general are very outgoing whereas Scandinavians are reserved and far less likely to engage in conversations with strangers. Is this true?
im portuguese from the south of portugal, blonde hair, pale skin, light brown eyes, and always get every nacionality except portuguese 😂 stereotypes...
Hi, thanks, i enjoyed it. My friend is thinking about visiting Portugal, we're from the USA. He wants to know if it is true that Portuguese women pay their own way on a date. thanks
You say you were born and raised in Portugal, but are your parents Portuguese? I know a lot of Portuguese and they have dark/black hair and are more tan in complexion.
ola, tambem estou na Noruega, nao tenho olhos azuis, mas tenho varios antepassados de olhos azuis e louros.Todos os meus antepassados de que ha memoria eram portugueses, mas eu nasci em Mocambique
Interessante que as características típicas, nós brasileiros temos várias delas, e ainda insistimos que somos diferentes dos portugueses devido a grande miscigenação. Bem interessante esse video.
Some of these Portuguese stereotypes apply to me.My great-great grandfather is Portuguese, and I consider myself Portuguese even though I look Black/African to people. I have 5th cousins in Madeira which is where my Portuguese roots are from. Do you consider me Portuguese and would Portuguese people themselves consider me Portuguese? Please be honest
If you went to Portugal, you would be treated nicely like everybody else but they would not consider you Portuguese because you were not born there, that’s not your culture and your parents are not Portuguese. Many Brazilians of Portuguese ancestry that move to Portugal are considered foreigners. Unless their parents are native Portuguese and moved to Brazil then they decided to move back again.
@@anna3046 I am Biologically closer to my Portuguese great-great-great-great grandfather than a parent that is not, so I am the same as everyone else in Portugal.
I used to stay in Portugal 5 years, had a house in Caldas da rainha. I have been everywhere in Portugal. Most Portuguese I have seen are like combination of French and Arab with strange eye colour. The darkest shade of eyes I have seen is hazel. I rarely seen Portuguese with dark brown eyes. girl and guys there are very small body, they tend to be very petti and not curvy, some have almost light blonde hair and blue eyes, some with brown hair, than skin, fair skin etc.
Uma vez li que, quando falamos outro idioma, incorporamos a personalidade coletiva do povo da língua. Isso afinal é verdade! Quando acaba de chegar em Portugal, um brasileiro conta no ambiente de trabalho, que no fim de semana velejou e bebeu um bom vinho. Quatro anos depois aprende a mentir, no ambiente de trabalho, que no fim de semana avariou o carro e andou meio adoentado.😜
De toda maneira, o importante é o património pessoal com o país. Não a origem. Isso é tão fútil... e as vezes racista : considerar alguém chinês só por causa do seu físico e não a sua real nacionalidade etc
In true Portuguese (which is spoken only in Brazil, of course :)), the word "rabugento" means "chato pra car***"! LOL According to one research (edition.cnn.com/travel/article/coolest-nationalities/index.html), Brazilians are "the coolest people on the planet". So either it is not true or I'm not even Brazilian. Anyway, most of what you've read about the Portuguese in the video would apply to Brazilians as well. A curious fact: I don't get a thing of what you say when you say a word or phrase in Portuguese in your videos until I rewind and listen to it again! This is common when we Brazilians hear Portuguese people speaking fast. I therefore think you're a typical Portuguese person :D :D :D
I agree with most of all caracteristics describing Potuguese people in here,i am brown sckin,olive colour eyees,brown thick hair ,a bit curly...curvy body, chat a lot , before 20 min. meetings all time never i been late, like coocking and i speack 3 languages and French and Italian a bite but i understand most of it...so, all the rest i recognise myself to...so yes,...kisses.
15 minutes late is not late? LOL! I feel bad if I'm just a couple of minutes late, max 5 minutes for me. Five names are massive for a Norwegian, but more and more have four. Blending the old "farmer" tradition of having two first names (first letter of each name corresponds with the first letters of two grandparents), with the old "aristocrat" tradition with two surnames (important family names)(or a result of feminism, where the mothers surname is inherited by the child, along with the fathers surname). Two or three names is more common. I only have two. You got "yes" on you test, but can you at the same time be a typical Norwegian?? You should find out ;)
Rabugenta quer dizer grumpy 😡 eu.não compreendo porque não falas em português? Portugal é um país maravilhoso, eu vivo no Canadá 🇨🇦 por alguns anos, mas eu amo muito o meu Portugal e nunca chego atrasada às reuniões!

Trish156 thats true, although we kind of change colors depending on the time of the year lmaoo, in summer we are very dark but when winter comes its a different story!
So christiano is not Portuguese since not white enough for you? You are ashamed of some of your compatriots, in addition the most beautiful and the most beautiful are the browns not too white. I discover Portuguese complexed, it's sad
I'm Portuguese as well, born and raised in S.miguel Island, and moved 4 years ago to England, and everyone is always surprised that i'm Portuguese. Loved the video. and agree 100% . Are we even Portuguese if we arent rabugentos? ahah Keep up the good work ;)
hahahah No, I guess you really need to be rabugento to be a true portuguese xD
I love Portuguese woman .can we know each other? I am an oriental man .
I loved this video! It was just so relatable. Miss you! xx
Miss you too! (very very much!)
Omg! Almost all of these are so true! Hahahaha I love being Portuguese and miss Portugal 😢 great video! And yes make a second part Portuguese women
Hi good day
I´m Portuguese and have pale skin, green eyes and dirty blond hair. I´m from Madeira.
I don´t understand why do other people think people from Portugal tanned like Italians or Greeks. We are not.
It is noticed that you do not know Italians and Greeks to believe that they are even more brunet in pigmentatio of skin than the Portuguese. Even Southern Italians and Greeks are whiter than the Portuguese and the Southerm Spanish. In general I would say that Italians and Greeks are whiter in skin color than Spaniards, but Spaniards have a higher percentage of light eyes than Greeks. The Portuguese, on the other hand, are only compared with the Italians from Sardinia and with the Spanish from the south.
@@douglassmith5188 Portuguese are lighter than Italians. Italians are darker. Read the study as follows: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3485197/
There is a big variety in phenotypes in Italy, too. Lots of fair skinned and also blue-eyed Italians in the northern parts of Italy. Northern Italians look more like Austrians, Swiss or Southern Germans than they look like Southern Italians.
@@maximilianmustermann5763 In fact, the phenotype differences between northern and southern Italians have been greatly exaggerated for reasons of a political nature, since the north has always wanted to separate itself from the rest of the peninsula. In the north of Italy as well as in the south of the peninsula it is possible to find a great number of dark and Moorish-looking types as well as a great number of fair skinned types as well as blond and red-haired blue eyes. From north to south of Italy, you will find people who look like Turks or Lebanese and people who look like Austrians or Irish. But in general, the pigmentation that predominates in most Italians is brown in the color of the hair and eyes, whereas in the color of the skin it is on average half olive color and the other half is pinkish or pale with variations from north to south.
@@maximilianmustermann5763 But I insist on saying that the Portuguese and the South Spaniards in terms of pigmentation only compare with the Italians in Sardinia and with the darkest parts of Calabria and Apulia. And it is clear that even in these regions it is possible to find a significant minority of fair skinned and light-eyed people and even some blond and redheads. But the pigmentation is predominantly dark.
My father is northern Portuguese and a lot of my cousins are light eyed and blond hair as children. I saw a good number of light eyed people in Porto when I visited, more than I expected. I myself have hazel green eyes
Yes Moni, stereotypes can be a pain in the butt! All my life people have asked if ”I’m sure I’m Portuguese, am I Portuguese on both sides, meaning are both my parents are Portuguese! My %100 dark haired, dark eyed & olive skinned Norwegian friend has had the same questions asked of her! It’s one of many reasons we became friends back in high school!
Em Paris achavam que eu era Polaco devido aos meus olhos claros e à minha palidez 😅
Deve ser o fenotipo da população do Norte de Portugal 🤷♂️
I love Portuguese women! Lmao
😂😂 I'm Portuguese leaving in the UK. Often I hear people ( Polish especially) tell me:" no way you Portuguese, you lying! All because I'm pale skin and green eyes 😂😂😂
All young Portuguese people speak Spanish and English fluently? Me impresionó, al ver varios videos de chilenos viviendo en tu país, lo bien que los portugueses hablan castellano. Reciben entonces una buena educación y eso es genial.
Eu trabalhei 2 anos com sevilhanos cá em Portugal e fui obrigado a falar portunhol com ele pq não entendiam nada. Sou grato porque essa experiência deu me a possibilidade de ser práticamente fluente em espanhol. É raro aprender se espanhol na escola em Portugal precisamente por ser muito fácil de entender.
Idiot, from the USA here. Keep doing videos you enjoy doing, your banter and personality are top-notch! Although personally, I'd be curious to see a Q&A from a pure-Norwegian perspective (perhaps one of your native friends?). Regardless, I'll watch every video you make (I don't eat sweets, but watch your dessert videos all the time haha).
It seem like a lot of Mediterranean people want to have the blonde Nordic look which I don’t understand as Mediterranean Europeans have the better skin that doesn’t burn in the sun.
Oi, a Senhora é muito comunicativa e agradável. Moro atualmente no nordeste do Brasil, e encontro milhares de pessoas aqui exatamente com suas características físicas!
Good fit. I've heard Norwegians hate small talk, too. But they probably are less dramatic. A number of your comparative videos have been helpful in understanding Portugal and the Portuguese, which is my current project. My first post-vaccination vacation will be to Lisbon and the Azores. And in the future I'm strongly leaning towards having a second home in northern Portugal. Thank you for making these videos, Mon (Marie?). Insightful.
I went to Norway to do Erasmus for 3 months and I loved it so much! I love love Norway 🇳🇴
Cool .norway is beautiful too.where for you live there ?
Adorei este vídeo Mónica! Vou ver mais uma vez com o Hugo e vamos comparar quem de nós os três é "mais" português lol :D
Que optima ideia!!! hahah
Hi Sonia how are you doing today
@@MonAmieDesserts hi
i find that norwegians are very isolated and anything other than blue eyes and blond hair gets labelled as being from southern europe...even though many norwegians themselves don't have blond hair and blue eyes
they seem to also forget that eastern europe exists. haha. which also tends to have brown hair
I live in Toronto, Canada and have only met two - three Portuguese people here. I would have thought you were Irish or maybe Scandinavian but not Portuguese. I like your personality and am wondering if that is typical of Portuguese people. You seem so sweet and friendly though I have heard that Portuguese people tend to stick to themselves unless you ask for help. Then they will go out of their way to help you...
I’m so happy to find someone Portuguese like me!
Hmm that great I love portugal.. But I don't know how to get there
@@lucasandy4226 Marry a girl or move as digital nomad.
Be aware of the risks of skin cancer when you are sun bathing and getting a tan. Prolonged sun exposure is not a healthy thing.
I was falling off my chair when she said I am not late only 15 min. She said it all right there ;)
I am portuguese and i am 5.7 ! 😁
Hello how are you doing today. Am Lucas Andy from the United States and you
Have you been to the Azores ( Acores)?
Sua apresentação é tão linda. Foi muito bom.
I love natas!!! I live in Toronto Canada and their is a big portuguese community in Toronto.
i am portuguese and arab looking
Olá, sou nova no teu canal! Estou a gostar bastante do teu conteúdo. Bjs ps: tens de vir a Portugal apanhar um bocadinho de sol.😂
I’m 10% Portuguese and I definitely picked up a lot of traits. I have dark brown thick hair, dark brown eyes and white skin but not pale. I tan and not sun burn. I talk loud, I love onions in everything, I’m asking if I’m Italian.
Azorean Portuguese- Canadian girl... Black wavy/curly hair, medium brown eyes, rosy cheeks, upturned small nose, olive skin that tans to a light brown, curvy body, and 5”8 😉
Woow. It sounds very sexy.

Lots of 😍 love from my side....keep on making varities of video 📹 Lil girl....
what is in norway?
Oh and I forgot - I would love to see a part 2 of this video where you would compare characteristics of a "typical" Portuguese women vs. a "typical" Norwegian woman, I think it could be very interesting! Btw., that description of a typical Portuguese person in this video was so spot on! I couldn't stop laughing! (PS, I don't think you are rabugenta ;)
haha I think Daniel would disagree with you with the rabugenta subject hahahah I would love to make a part 2 ;)
we could even compare three different women characteristics - Norwegan or "Nordic" (Maria), Portuguese or "southern" (you) and Slovak or "Slavic" (myself) and see how the different cultures view women and their position in the society and what is "expected" of a typical women in each culture or something... just an idea ;)
sim, mais um video destes! LOL muito bom
Adorei, 5 nomes é bem comprido :D em termos mundiais
Portuguese are not short. I'm almost 100% Iberian. And I'm 1,80 meters. I'm not a giant but I'm confident i Will grow a little bit more

This vlog was most revealing because where I’m from (USA-Seattle ) we have no idea what the Portuguese are like. I’ve been to Bilbao and Iglacia and assume there are similarities. My wife’s family comes from Vadheim Norway and have that family name and heritage from Lasse Vadheim who settled in Wisconsin and Minnesota USA. My wife’s father moved from Minnesota to Tacoma WA in 1943. In 1967 my wife and I (age 23) visited Oslo, Stockholm and Copenhagen. I was a graduate architect (1966) in the US Army at the time (1967). Love your vlog and wish you well for a satisfying life as an architect and all it promises for a full and productive life. You’ve definitely got the the right idea with a love of travel. Eventually you might even become a genuine human, however I think you are already there except for you sister’s lead with a child. Keep up the good work. Richard Bittmann, Architect, Tacoma, WA
I'm from Brazil and a lot of the Portuguese stereotypical characteristics seem to fit the Brazilian stereotype. It's as if I were hearing someone describe Brazilians xD And here I thought the stereotype was the complete opposite
Haha that's very good to hear! I do think we portuguese have a lot to do with the Brazilian :) I would love to visit brasil one day!
I don’t think Portuguese in general look similar to typical Brazilians. Most Brazilians are mixed race, native Portuguese are of EUROPEAN ancestry.

Yes, that is our Portuguese ancestry
It is good to remember that we were colonized by Portugal, and there is a lot of people in Brazil who has portuguese ancestry. I am brazilian, and have pale skin and green eyes. And as Bea said, i also recognized our country in many of the characteristics that were told by her.
I'm Portuguese, and I am very white with greenish eyes and dark hair (when I was young not so much hair now but I suppose it would be graying). Funny though, even within my siblings, we have differences brother had brown eyes tanned easily and sisters as well but I don't tan to good so I like to stay out of the sun as I burn. I am very white.
Some Portuguese traits are excatly Dutch traits. My Dutch in Laws & their friends are also stubborn, are direct, have a sweet tooth, love to argue passionately, fill up your plate until you risk exploding, etc!
You are a very lovely person.
i am portuguese light brown hair hazel eyes with tan skin and i’m always confused for Italian etc
I proud that you are proud that you are Portuguese 🌺🐦🐦🐦🐦🐈🧡
I'm half Portuguese and half Italian...thick dark brown hair , brown eyes , sorta tanned
I’m half Portuguese and half Australian:) I know it’s a strange mix I have dark hair, blue eyes and somewhat tanned:)
Portuguese have done everything that's worth doing so obviously they must know everything!!!
Small talk is big in my country, talking to anybody at the bus stop like you know them from your neighborhood. Yep. we do
You may have answered this already but I read that Portuguese people and Southern Europeans in general are very outgoing whereas Scandinavians are reserved and far less likely to engage in conversations with strangers. Is this true?
im portuguese from the south of portugal, blonde hair, pale skin, light brown eyes, and always get every nacionality except portuguese 😂
stereotypes...
Same ! I am from Madeira though !
Hi, thanks, i enjoyed it. My friend is thinking about visiting Portugal, we're from the USA. He wants to know if it is true that Portuguese women pay their own way on a date. thanks
You say you were born and raised in Portugal, but are your parents Portuguese? I know a lot of Portuguese and they have dark/black hair and are more tan in complexion.
Yes! My family is 100% Portuguese+Spanish
This video is so funny 😂😘
Excelente ideia para um canal de RUclips👌🇵🇹
ola, tambem estou na Noruega, nao tenho olhos azuis, mas tenho varios antepassados de olhos azuis e louros.Todos os meus antepassados de que ha memoria eram portugueses, mas eu nasci em Mocambique
grumpy maybe ?! (para rabugenta ahaha)
Come back to Portugal and I am gonna study there?
Dark hair and brown eyes, pale, thin and very tall. When I visit my family in Portugal.

Interessante que as características típicas, nós brasileiros temos várias delas, e ainda insistimos que somos diferentes dos portugueses devido a grande miscigenação. Bem interessante esse video.
Olá, desculpa por te incomodar. O Lucas e tu dos Estados Unidos e tu
Os brasileiros são muito diferentes dos portugueses.

Do Portuguese people have things like quinceanera? Like spanish people do?

I like your videos a lot
My family is from the azores (Acores) sao miguel. I think you look more azorean portuguese.
mark sousa Very cool. I have many Azorean Portuguese matches which is via my paternal great grandmother.
Eu te amo muito ❤️😉
Some of these Portuguese stereotypes apply to me.My great-great grandfather is Portuguese, and I consider myself Portuguese even though I look Black/African to people. I have 5th cousins in Madeira which is where my Portuguese roots are from. Do you consider me Portuguese and would Portuguese people themselves consider me Portuguese? Please be honest
If you went to Portugal, you would be treated nicely like everybody else but they would not consider you Portuguese because you were not born there, that’s not your culture and your parents are not Portuguese. Many Brazilians of Portuguese ancestry that move to Portugal are considered foreigners. Unless their parents are native Portuguese and moved to Brazil then they decided to move back again.
You are mix race, not europesn
@@NacerDeArriba YES I am European. My European Ancestors are my only real ancestors.
@@anna3046 I am Biologically closer to my Portuguese great-great-great-great grandfather than a parent that is not, so I am the same as everyone else in Portugal.
@@AzureKite191 if you look black you cant be european by race.
There is no typical Portuguese. In terms of phenotype. There is a lot of variety. I don't know where you got that information from
I agree, I’m not at all surprised she is Portuguese!
People think all Portuguese look like Cristiano Ronaldo and our immigrant football team I guess?
Sou brasileiro e entendo um pouco vcs,se puder responder ficarei satisfeito.
Great
I used to stay in Portugal 5 years, had a house in Caldas da rainha. I have been everywhere in Portugal. Most Portuguese I have seen are like combination of French and Arab with strange eye colour. The darkest shade of eyes I have seen is hazel. I rarely seen Portuguese with dark brown eyes. girl and guys there are very small body, they tend to be very petti and not curvy, some have almost light blonde hair and blue eyes, some with brown hair, than skin, fair skin etc.
Uma vez li que, quando falamos outro idioma, incorporamos a personalidade coletiva do povo da língua. Isso afinal é verdade! Quando acaba de chegar em Portugal, um brasileiro conta no ambiente de trabalho, que no fim de semana velejou e bebeu um bom vinho. Quatro anos depois aprende a mentir, no ambiente de trabalho, que no fim de semana avariou o carro e andou meio adoentado.😜
Liked this video
Mmm queria saber das comidas que cozinhas 😍😍😍 Estou grávida, vivo na Suécia e hoje fiquei com tanta vontade de comer bifanas 🤤😛
rabugenta means cranky
Physically I would have guessed you were French or maybe English. Not a lot of people of the North Atlantid phenotype in Portugal.
Nah she looks irish.
De toda maneira, o importante é o património pessoal com o país. Não a origem. Isso é tão fútil... e as vezes racista : considerar alguém chinês só por causa do seu físico e não a sua real nacionalidade etc
I think the translation for rabugenta would be grumpy
celts are most beutifull people .
light skin , greeyish green eye , tall stature , and dark hairs .
In true Portuguese (which is spoken only in Brazil, of course :)), the word "rabugento" means "chato pra car***"! LOL
According to one research (edition.cnn.com/travel/article/coolest-nationalities/index.html), Brazilians are "the coolest people on the planet". So either it is not true or I'm not even Brazilian. Anyway, most of what you've read about the Portuguese in the video would apply to Brazilians as well.
A curious fact: I don't get a thing of what you say when you say a word or phrase in Portuguese in your videos until I rewind and listen to it again! This is common when we Brazilians hear Portuguese people speaking fast. I therefore think you're a typical Portuguese person :D :D :D
That's very funny! xD Rabugento in portugal can be used in a more "cute" way. ;)
It translates to grumpy...
🙂🙂🙂🙂
Rabugento em inglês é grumpy
I agree with most of all caracteristics describing Potuguese people in here,i am brown sckin,olive colour eyees,brown thick hair ,a bit curly...curvy body, chat a lot , before 20 min. meetings all time never i been late, like coocking and i speack 3 languages and French and Italian a bite but i understand most of it...so, all the rest i recognise myself to...so yes,...kisses.
Susana Alves yup that is me except I am a girl with black hair
You do in fact not look like a "typical" portuguese. But you're pretty mediterranean anyway.
Btw, "grumpy", that's how you translate "rabugenta".
15 minutes late is not late? LOL! I feel bad if I'm just a couple of minutes late, max 5 minutes for me. Five names are massive for a Norwegian, but more and more have four. Blending the old "farmer" tradition of having two first names (first letter of each name corresponds with the first letters of two grandparents), with the old "aristocrat" tradition with two surnames (important family names)(or a result of feminism, where the mothers surname is inherited by the child, along with the fathers surname). Two or three names is more common. I only have two. You got "yes" on you test, but can you at the same time be a typical Norwegian?? You should find out ;)
i kwen someone in portugal with 9 names, most last names are related to lands, old professions, names of trees, and animals
ahahah rí-me imenso para ser sincera
Let's laugh each other! 😊
Rabugenta! lool
You look more White, Irish. I read somewhere that northern Portuguese got Viking and Celtic in then while southern are more Berber and Phoenician.
It’s true, the lands of Portugal were inhabited by the Lusitanians
Porquê chamou-se Mon amie. Sou igualmente Francês e é estranho
The next time someone asks you where you are from tell them it none of their business.

Olá,oque falta nos homens aí?
