Why Is Brazil Geoguessr's Most HATED Country!? Time To Improve
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- In preparation for tomorrow's $250 Geoguessr tournament, I'm practicing my weakest country. Brazil is huge, you can guess the right region and get 3000 points on the world map. It's time for me to hone my skills and show why Brazil is actually a very fun country map to play. Let me know which country you'd like me to do next.

I'm brazilian, and it's fun to see you getting this knowledge about Brazil, but I think it's annoying how the game 90% of the time puts you in the middle of a road without nothing around, just trees and soil. Brazil has a lot of huge cities and little villages, a lot of rivers and lakes all over the country, bridges etc, they should put more diverse locations in the game.
That’s not the point of the game
@@davidacosta9158 The point of the game is to guess locations based on different things, not just the same equal things, trees and red soil.
@@FallenLight0 the point of the game is to guess where you are in the world, that’s it, everything else you add is irrelevant to the game
If you put the person in a big city, it's easy to identify because of the linguage and cars plates.
@@davidacosta9158 the game clearly has some algorithmic biases, like Roraima appearing pretty much every round, even though it's a relatively small state area-wise and one of the smallest in population. It'd be more interesting if the algorithm favored urban settlements and more distinctive locations rather than a road in the middle of nowhere.
the problem with brazilian maps in Geoguessr is that almost every time you get a road in the middle of the country with basically no hint. they seriously need to change this! Brazil is a massive country for sure - one of the biggest in the world - but you don't get this type of place in the US, for example, in the game.....
verdade
verdade, na maioria das vezes nos eua eles caem em alguma cidade/vila ou pelo menos com habitação por perto. no brasil 90% das vezes é no meio do nada, é muito chato!!
@@izatheworld e se eu disse que tem muito de x3nofobia e r4cismo nisso. literalmente passando a imagem de que o brasil só tem mato e é pouco urbanizado.
this is because the US doesnt have mapping of places like that
brazil has the mapping of all the random bits, some countries dont put random highways on streetview.
You do get this type of places in the US
Maybe another tip, from a Brazilian here, big cities actually look like big cities, lots of buildings, cars, traffic and such.
I noticed that you tend to click near big cities, but it usually isn't ;)
Mas depende viu? Periferia de Belém é bem acabadona e parece um pouco mais interior, algumas outras cidades do centro-oeste e norte, além de recife, também são assim.
I feel like he clicks on a big city because it is kind of "in the middle" of many possible places, and it would be close enough than just go for one specific city, idk
@@Braziliansyrah Recife? do jeito que é cheio de prédio até na região metropolitana? só pro lado de olinda/camaragibe que parece interior
@@fehmartinss tlg quando teve as enchentes e parecia que tava no meio da mata? Aqueles morrinhos tem no geoguessr e parece interior
@@Braziliansyrah então, provavelmente as regiões que falei e não Recife em si kkk
it's so frustrating how 90% of the rounds in the the brazilian map are in the middle of nowhere 😵💫
lol
@@u_ImNotKeqing SOU SEU FÃ GIGI!!!!
it's bc 90% of brazil is actually in "the middle of nowhere" lol
I guess the only way to find yourself would be analyzing vegetation as it varies from one region to another, even if slightly
@@erikduek3665 It's not tho
Brazilian here with another tip: Lots of cities/places have their names after the rivers that cross them. On 12:10, you had a sign with a city name "Lagos do Iguaçu" - Iguaçu is an important river that crosses Paraná. Get to know the big rivers, it will help you a lot!
Also, great guesses! You are doing way better than me, when it comes to my own country 😅
eu tb vi a placa e pensei nisso na hora, ótima dica.
Then the map puts you in Nova Iguaçu (RJ)...
@@iamdanieloliveira of course there are exceptions everywhere - like California/PR is pretty far from the state of California 😅 but knowing the location of the big rivers is actually better than just guessing, and will probably be better than not knowing 😉
Eu também cara, sou péssima nesse jogo.
I think the reason its so hard is because for some reason they always just put you in some random road or tiny city, I swear I've never seen someone get say a street in São Paulo or near some landmark.
Wish they'd tweak the chances a bit more since it'd probably highlight the cultural variety in my country much more.
you know, sometimes i spawned in a big city and it still looked like shitty village because it was downtown slums, and also there is that brazil has a lot of mapped kilometers and is a huge country with a few big cities so the chances are just low naturally, they could tweak it a bit true
and i actually have 21k on brazil (with moving), i played a bit to get good(same as zigzag here), and searched the map for roads and such lmao
its still not enough for good guesses in duels since i took my time with it
@@alexo_pog quantas cidades grandes que o brasil tem? o problema é tu jogar e cair no meio do nada sempre
@@alexo_pog few big cities? Bro, almost every state have a big city in brazil, wtf you talking, the diference betwen brazil an united stated on the game its brazil have all the country, united only the important places
@@tempolivre9465 ok i shouldve rather said famous cities, like sao paulo, rio, brasilia, thats really it, maybe curitiba or belo
because thats what the original commenter meant
I work at the Brazilian national geography Institute, it's quite funny how you guys are able to get many hard things right, and easy things wrong. But something that appears odd to me, is that that it doesn't seems quite random enough, it's like the system (or the person who gave the data), is making hard choices by intent. Like, great part of the places are geographic exceptions on its area, like, you have to know at the "municipal" scale that the exact area there doesn't match the average perception of the area, it doesn't seems that fair with outsiders in comparison of what I've seen on other countries.
For example, 12:35 is exactly at my city and i would've never guessed if i never had visted that exact place before, is a sparsely populated district that only there such rock formations are visible, and you told that you've seen this geography before at the same place roughly speaking, it sounds hard on intent because the area around the city is huge, and mostly plain (the name campos dos goytacazes means "plains belonging to the waitaka natives"), so why the only coordinates that are showing are those exceptions? Strange...
But my tips are, if you are alone in a highway, pay attention to the paint on the floor, number of lanes, (to know if it is a small, medium, interstate or national highway), overall maintenance also are a good indicative of its placing (north or south, close to a big center or far away), as told, the soil alone will never get you anywhere. Talking about cities, grid patterns, pavement, overall condition... It never matters, the difference between rich and poor neighborhoods are so huge that in the same city you can get rural "forest type", rural "arid type", "small city vibes" neighborhoods, slums, high end and business districts, what will always help you are weather, public transportation, and other small things that with practice you'll able to get. Well, I hope I could help by a little here, sorry for my bad English, any subsequent doubts just ask me!
I simply love this comment! Great tips! Btw, I'm from Macaé! 😊

a hint to you, pay attention to the abbreviation
of the states like "MG" ,"MS", "SP", etc. In the guess that was in Mato Grosso do Sul, on the barn was writed "MS", that in fact is abbreviation of the respectively state.
not only that, but some public companies are named after the state they're located in, such as SABESP, with the SP from São Paulo at the end. if someone eventually sees a logo with an acronym pay attention to the last two letters, maybe it'll hint at the state.
I was going to say that, at the end he missed the IDEPI sign ("PI" for Piaui). This is a very good aid in some rounds.

In 27:57, the "BRB" and that symbol represents Brasilia. The symbol is from Bank of Brasília.
There is BRB agencies in other states too tho, but yeah by chance it must be Brasília
There is also "Drogaria Granja do Torto", which he says is not useful but it's a region from Brasília, Granja do Torto.
BRB, I'm heading to the BRB 🏃
In portuguese, every J and Gs followed by E and I are pronnounced the same way the S is on treasure. When G is followed by A, O or U, then it's the same as the G on god.
12:11 It says "Lagos do Iguacu". So the location was near some lakes near the Iguazú-Falls or at least at the Iguazú river
As a Brazilian, this is such a fun video to watch! You did much better than I would. I often can spot right on when it’s Brazil but pointing where is a whole different story.
A tip for your pronunciation: when the vowel has an acute accent (á or í), that letter or the syllable it’s in is the strongest, the tonic syllable, so it’s pronounced like Para-NÁ, Piau-Í, Ama-PÁ. And in Bahia, H has no sound, so you just pronounce it like Ba-Í-a.
And Minas Gerais is said like it was Minas Jerais in portuguese
ri muito quando ele pronunciou Bahia ahahah
I was looking for this. He put too much H in Bahia (that should be mute) and then almost nothing on Maranhão (that doesn't really have the H sound, but it's not mute either) 😂
as a brazilian player, I always get confused between landscapes of the Amazon Northeast (Maranhao and Piauí) and Mato Grosso do Sul, because of the red soil
Goiás também tem solo vermelho, Paraná também mas lá a vegetação já difere bastante
The hint in on the trees.
Pior que aqui no RS tbm tem bastante cidade com solo vermelho, principalmente na região das missões. Brasil é mto dificil credo.. kk
Mas ai muda muito, eu morei na cidade que saiu no MS, lá o solo é super vermelho, em outras cidades do estado, nem pra tanto, em Agua Clara, por exemplo, é arenoso.

It's interesting to learn the states acronyms too, like on the 6:00 guess, if you paid more attention to the cellar, it said MS, which is Mato Grosso do Sul. It's definetly something to keep an eye on.
I love how you're saying "Consistently decent." and meanwhile, I'm like "Dang! You're so good! Those guesses are so close!" Good luck on the tournament!
:D
Dude, as a Brazilian, I can say that you are very good at this. Our country is very varied and some distant regions can also be similar. I'm from Piauí, and a tip that I give you and I noticed your mistakes, is that even in the northeast region, some areas can be very green, leading to confuse with areas of more forest. The tip I give is the soil, if it seems harder and has green areas, it is usually northeast, if the soil is fluffy, or red, it is more possible to be in the midwest region, and if the soil is sandy with green areas , it is more possible to be from maranhão or northern region.
Ahh, and all that were from Piauí I managed to get right, mainly because of the aspects of the roads lol, they are very characteristic in the region.
3:10 without speaking Portuguese, porta do sol i suppose means literaly Door of the sun. Sol is the word in Spanish( and Portuguese I think) for sun and Porta is very similar to Puerta, which means door. Not so important but hey
Really important to improve in Brazil, such a difficult country
you're right
Sol is also the word for sun in Latin.
Sun and Sol, are the same literal word, caming from a PIE origin
Your word guessing skills are good, it is useful
Gate of Sun would be a more accurate translation.
Brazil is really difficult even for brazilians! Love your content, good luck on tournment tomorrow! I'll play on Devens team, our brazilian goat hahah. This document is gold!
I'm Brazilian and I like to play geoguesrr, and I can say that I have more difficulty finding a location within Brazil than in the whole world hahaha
Nossa, muito difícil mesmo. Não sei nem como que ele conseguiu aquela pontuação de 12 mil
in that one at 15:38 (with the "amapa roof", but actually in Rio de Janeiro State) there was what seems to be a small salt field on the roadside. these are kinda caracteristic of northern Rio State. still, REALLY impressive job - as a Brazilian, I wouldnt get better results (apart from recognizing the "61" as Brasilia phone code, that was in a satellite city; and maybe being able to understand signs and public utilities acronyms). and its really frustrating that they insist on middle of nowhere locations, which poorly represent Brazil
5:47 you can actually see 'MS' written on the wall of the building back there, that's Mato Grosso do Sul abbreviation. Also, the Centro-Oeste region has a lot of flat lands. I hope that helps!
3:07 "sol" actually means sun south is "sul"
idk how i screwed that up considering I just learnt the state names lmao
@@zi8gzag and "porta" means door port is "porto"

Definitely do other large countries like Russia or USA. It's so entertaining and helps us all to improve at region-guessing.
Russia too, more boring but just as important
@@BuMPiHD Yes, I mentioned it already in the comment.
Russia is much harder than US imo
Yeah but United States is easier because it has very varied biomes and vegetation. The east coast looks nothing like the west coast. Where as Russia looks the exact same all over
I'm so mad at Geoguessr because they always put you in some random location in the middle of nowhere and it gives the wrong impression for foreigners that Brazil is only a rural country with red dirt roads and ugly houses. Brazil is much more than that. I don't know why this happens and they need to fix this ASAP. Please do more Brazilian rounds, nobody seems to care about our country in the geoguessr community.
There are places in Brazil that looks just like Australia, Switzerland, Italy, Japan, even Maldives, it's so frustrating geoguessr keeps putting those ugly middle of nowhere 500km far from the nearest human locations!
Isso acontece porque e um país muito grande, basicamente 60% do Brasil não tem ninguém a viver lá. Mas definitivamente concordo com você.
concordo, o cara falando que é tudo igual no Brasil sendo que temos uma das maiores biodiversidades do mundo, temos todo tipo de bioma, várias paisagens diferentes e só joga nessa estrada no meio do mato mais genérico o possível, muito frustrante
@@rena6602 sim, mas isso acontece com todo país grande, olha a rússia, a sibéria tem 13m de km e 30m de pessoas vivem la, o problema é que no geoguessr no mapa do brasil só cai nesses lugares nada a ver
it falls in those places most of the time because it is what most of brazil looks like. what u are asking is for them to rig the game to give a better impression of the country (which would be false since more than 80% of braziliam municipalities are rural, and it is not even in the top 80 of gdp per capita so it is nothing like switzerland or japan).
@@hambersonjacilto7589 and still, the vast majority lives in the urban areas. you don't see that many roads in other big countries especially in the north America (like US and Canadá).

Tip: almost always, the short form of government institutions name's ends with the shorts off the state where it is.
My English is not that good so I will show you can example: 26:58 IDEPI (idk wtf it is but) ends with PI, it remembers me of Piauí state. It should help you. I just need to know the state names and their short forms.

Yep, I'm Brazillian and can confirm, it's the hardest... you get pretty much any style of city in all states, and both dryer and wetter parts on most states...
Can we at least point out that you had a streak of 32 at the end? That's really impressive dude!
Yup never guessed the wrong country... lol
lmao
Hint.. the state of the roads is a great indication of what region of Brazil you are. The other is the color of the soil (Red is in the south plateao region (not litoral) sand colored is litoral, more yellowish is northeast. Dark colored ground is north (but you will get very few pictures there due to a lot of territory there not having been mapped in street view). There are some exceptions but when you have no other clues in a simple road picture it helps a lot.
This map needs to be updated for the present, because many routes shown in the video have evolved and because of that new cities have emerged, in addition these routes are located in fields and places where housing not.
It's based on Google street view if I recall correctly
Wow, ur really good! I’m Brazilian myself and I would never be that accurate, it’s insane with all those random roads.
wow! even I had a hard time guessing these and i'm brazilian, you're pretty much on point with a lot of these! Brazil can be a very diverse and random place
As a brazilian I can say it's very entertaining seeing how much more than me you know about the country :') yeah I know it's cause you''ve been "studying" this a lot but still! If I got one or two right it was too many already. And like some other people I thought that the sceneries being mainly composed of roads in the middle of nowhere was meh, but thinking about it since it's a big country, makes sense that roads would compromise most of the locations shown since there's lots of them between cities
brazil is hard because they always get a location on the middle of nowhere with a lot of green. i would have performed poorly on this game and I am brazilian lol
A good tip for you is that at the beginning, when you clicked in Mato Grosso do Sul, the soil was red, like really really red, the reddest ever. The junction of north of Paraná, southwest of São Paulo and south of Mato Grosso do Sul is known for having this really red soil. In fact, here in Paraná we call people who are born in this region “pé vermelho” or “red footed” because it’s pretty much impossible for you to walk around the region without getting your shoes or feet completely red because of the dirt.
Ele tentando entender a lógica dos DDDs sendo que nem a gente que é brasileiro sabe kkkk
Não entende a lógica o DDD quem não costumar ler ou pesquisar, até pq conhecimento não cai do céu.
I learned more about Brazil with this dude than my whole life in school
Unless you end up in a city or in a specific regional bioma (wetland near Paraguay, semi-arid in countryside Northeast) most of Brazil is highland fields and they get very similar. Of course the game isn't likely to put you inside the rainforest because there will be almost no roads. We can only guess in most situations really by paying attention to phone numbers and road signs.
I feel like every location they took for him could be in my city. I live in São Pauto State, next to the borderline between São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro
28:10 the big structure there is a soybean or corn processing plant, these are mostly in the center-west(Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Goiás) or Tocantins(in the north).
27:59 there was a BRB wrote. BRB stands for Brasilia Bank. Some abbreviations could help you
As a Brazilian it’s funny to see how many times he missed obvious clues… and sometimes he was able to find the correct place with absolutely no clues.
I can confirm that whenever I get Brazil I often don't differentiate more than North/South
What sells a lot of these locations is the vegetation and the soil, but mostly the vegetation is a huge clue.
I always do badly in Brazil, and South America as a whole, I can never work out which country it is or where I am in those countries
hopefully this video helps a bit!
If you just play the South America map, you’ll get a feel of all the countries and it’ll become easy. It’s for sure one of the most beautiful places in the world
If u lived in brazil, u would be able to identify this places, but still for me it's a little hard
@@fredbertolin2884 I'm brazilian, and it's hard for me, since the game just put us in the middle of a road with nothing but trees and soil.
I can recognize when it's somewhere in the Andes region, like Bolivia, Peru or Colombia, but the country itself is hard because they look similar.
As a Brazilian I got a bit annoyed with Brazil in Geoguesser like they usually show north and northeast of the country, it's the less populated area and the most poor so it gives the impression that Brazil is only that... what's not true at all we have a lot of really good cities but they never show that
Corrigindo: o Nordeste é segunda região mais povoada do Brasil, atrás apenas do Sudeste.
E sobre a questão de ter paisagens principalmente do Norte e Nordeste, eu também acho estranho... Aliás, além de só mostrar isso, ainda colocam as áreas mais precárias das regiões, lá também há cidades maiores...
Mas acho que isso faz parte do objetivo do jogo: colocar lugares remotos, para ser difícil.
Se o jogo o colocasse no meio da Av. Paulista não teria graça nenhuma, de tão fácil.
@@Priscilaskk muito obrigada pela correção. Sim, já fui para o Nordeste algumas vezes e gostei bastante, entretanto, lá há mais lugares remotos como mostrados nesse jogo, eu gostei bastante das cidades nordestinas. Não acho que o jogo deveria jogar na Paulista, mas em cidades espalhadas pelo país inteiro... não apenas em estradas precárias ou no meio do mato.

Brazil does seem like a super hard country to differentiate from, I definitely wouldn't have your luck! hopefully this training helps you with the tournament this weekend!
It's really diverse, some places have german influence,others portuguese,italian etc
Brazils massive and nothing makes sense. Some tropical looking shit ends up being 3000km south and vice versa
Theres tropical Forest in the south. Most of Brazils south east, some of the south and some of the northeast has reserves of the Mata Atlântica, its more splendid than the Amazon.
I'm brazillian and it was really fun to watch this. There were many places I wrong guessed too 😆
Congrats for trying to pronunciate the names of the states and cities, you got most of them right.
One very good tip I can give you as a Brazilian is that we use the initials of the states a lot in the name of things, I saw many of them in the video and most of them you guessed very far compared to if you used the initials

I would enjoy this kind of video for other country as well. Playing a country map is helpful to improve your precison within the country, but also it gives you more ideas of what the country looks like to recognize it from others. I would like to see France for example that I often recognize but get it very far from the location (even if it is way smaller than Brazil).
We have a thing called "mares de morros", meaning "hill sea" in the litorall specially São Paulo and southern Minas Gerais, very wavy and green landscape with dark red soil
5:47 the "MS" written there was a giveaway
11:51 you can barely see an "AP" to show how two letters not necessarily mean an abbreviation
18:20 "GG" memorizing all state abbrev would rule out "GG" as a state
26:39 you can barely see the zip code (CEP) starting with 77 and at the end you can see the "TO" abbrev

Também sou brasileiro, mas tenho um pouco mais de noção do país onde vivo. Vendo este vídeo e lendo os comentários de brasileiros dizendo que o Brasil tem “grandes cidades” e que o programa erra ao “sugerir demais” áreas no meio do nada), me chamou a atenção como as pessoas desconhecem o próprio país. Com uma simples pesquisa na internet se descobre que a área urbana não chega a 1% do nosso território total. Por isso, errado e tendencioso seria se o programa “aleatoriamente” mostrasse muitas áreas em cidades, o que não é algo predominante aqui. Bem longe disto.
I'm also Brazilian, but I'm a little more aware of the country where I live. Watching this video and reading the comments of Brazilians saying that Brazil has “big cities” and that the program is wrong to “suggest too much” areas in the middle of nowhere), it caught my attention how people are unaware of their own country. With a simple search on the internet, it is discovered that the urban area does not reach 1% of our total territory. Therefore, it would be wrong and biased if the program “randomly” showed many areas in cities, which is not something prevalent here. Far from it.
As a Brazilian i was really surprised when you got close, because i had no idea LOL. Geo guesser puts you in the middle of nowhere for some reason,really surprising you got them right!
btw the ã in maranhão is pronounced "uh"
the ~ indicates nasality so if you block your nose and say "ah" thats the sound youre going for
and the nh is like the ñ from spanish so its kinda like ny
so itd be (not exactly but kinda) like marany-uh-o
when g is next to e or i it becomes a j (different j from english but its closer)
also h in portuguese is completely silent unless its after a c so bahia is pronounced baia (baía is a word that means bay and thats where the state name comes from, it only has an h because old portuguese is dumb and had pointless letters everywhere)
also also accents in portuguese like ´ and ^ mark the stress syllable (the most emphasized syllable in the word)
but other than that your pronunciation is pretty good, most english speakers usually pronounce portuguese words like spanish and its weird but you dont and it sounds a lot better so well done with that

I'd like to see you do this for Russia as well! Could definitely be fun
do more, this was very fun to watch
this sounded very aggressive sorry 😭😭
Btw, when you see an H in portuguese it's either completely silent (Like is Bahia) or it makes a completely different sounds because of the consonant preceding it. When you see a "lh" the sound is the same as "ll" in spanish (as in quesadilla) and when you see a "nh" the sounds is the same as a "ñ" in spanish (as in piñata). When you se a "ão" the sound is similar to "aum".
It's confusing because those combinations sound like entirely different letters and most of those sounds don't really exist in english.
13:30 this type of palm is mostly common in maranhão, there's literally a sub biome of palms here called "mata dos cocais"
Tip: Brazil have 5 biomas. You can guessed it by the soil and vegetation. For exemple, when I saw the palm tree + red soil I can think about Pantanal, which is mostly find in Centro Oeste. Study these biomas and you guessing rate will go up, for sure.
The Gerais in Minas Gerais is pronnounced like the Ge in generation.
First, Congratulations! You def know more about Brazilian road landscapes than me, and I'm Brazilian. But I just don't get why almost every landscape is on a road, I feel like they should put more cities on it.

I'm brazilian and I could bet me arse you already know how to locate yourself way better than 99% of us. These tips were very useful, I had no idea about most of them. Geoguessr will turn its players into living GPSs :D
A tip that can make your guesses better. Sometime ur in somewhere that is a small town, lot's of vegetation. And you guess like Huge metropoles ( 5:20 is an example) Maybe it's a geoguesser meta thing. But to a brazilian it's ludicrous lol.
Geography is a big part too for guessing those roads in the middle of nowhere, some of them you can get a good guess just by seeing the vegetation, the terrain and even the rocks.
As a Brazilian, most of those images could be literally any where...!! We have a loooot of roads, so, no wonder most of the images are just random nowhere roads. So, it is really surprising how much you got right! Congratz
Porta do Sol = Sun's Door
Sol = Sun
Sul = South
Just to help you improve on those Brazilians rounds! haha
a small tip for guessing Minas Gerais: there are A LOT of mountains. like, i've only been to a few cities in that state, but i can fully guarantee that Ouro Preto and Belo Horizonte are entirely built on the hills so if the terrain is too flat it's most likely not Minas Gerais. this also goes for the roads in the region between the city of São Paulo and the sea (Vale do Paraiba region to be more exact but i don't think that'll be written on the map), so if you end up on a road with a few mountains on the horizon, it could be in that region. on the other hand, the city of Brasilia is entirely flat, no hills at all. most of the roads in Paraná have a very light hill (idk how to say it), it seems flat if you look to the sides but if you look to the road ahead you can tell the terrain isn't 100% flat. i'm mostly familiar with those places so this is all i can tell, hope this is helpful if you didn't know already
Mate, I'm Brazilian and have no clue about where these pics may be. They choose stuff that is too generic and can be basically anywhere. You certainly did it better than I could... cheers!
brasil é lindo demais
*Pronunciations of some states (uppercase syllables means strong pronunciations, more pronounced)*
Quick things to go first, though:
"rah" - think of how you pronounce the "ra" in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Jotaro's "ora"
"nhaa" - go nasal for this one, like those cute evil laughs, "nheh heh heh" and such; if you think of Papyrus, it's fine, if it helps
"rih" - think of how you pronounce the "ri" in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Bruno Bucciarati's "ari"
Anything with rr - think of how you pronounce the mexican "j" for this "rr"
Other types of rah and rih are also pronounced like above in Portuguese, but these can be more lenient and you can pronounce it like normal in English (i.e using the Pirate "r"; just a thing I wanted to say and now you'll never not notice it, you're welcome)
Now to the States:
Roraima - (think of how you pronounce the mexican "j" for this "rr")rroh-"RAH"-ih-mah
Piauí - (yes, the letter's pronunciation)P-auh-IH
Maranhão - mah-raan-(go nasal for this one, like those cute evil laughs, "nheh heh heh"; if you think of Papyrus, it's fine, if it helps)NHAA-oh
Bahia - bah-IH-ah
Minas Gerais - MIH-nas jeh-RAH-is
Santa Catarina: SAAN-tah kah-tah-"RIH"-nah
Paraná - pah-rah-NAH
Goiás - goh-ih-AH-ss
Not spoken in the video probably):
Rondônia - rron-DON-nih-ah
Paraíba - pah-rah-IH-bah
Pará - pah-"RAH"
Ceará - seh-ah-"RAH"
Alagoas - ah-lah-GOH-ah-ss
Sergipe - (yes, the word)sir-jee-pée
As for the rest, either he pronunciated well, or passably well (like São Paulo, where we know people will either say "sao" or "san", and the least Spanish-like, the better)
Hope it helps. Trust me, I'm Brazilian
5:46 if you zoom in in that storage, you could read the initials MS that is from Mato grosso do Sul
Brasil has 6 large biomes and you need knows the difference beteween Amazon and the atlantic forrests! (Amazônia, Mata Atlântica, caatinga, pantanal , pampas e cerrado). Each one With particularities uniques.
Eu que sou brasileiro não sei a diferença, então imagine pra um gringo
@@davireal1657 🤣 Falei isso pois ele está prestando atenção a arquitetura dos prédios e casas e aqui não temos uma “conjunção” arquitetônica específica, mas árvores e plantas são mais específicas de cada bioma! Então, saber diferenciar Amazônia de mata Atlântica, catinga de cerrado, em primeira instância para depois prestar atenção na arquitetura, já ajudaria muito!
Maaan you're incredibly good, not even the majority of native brazilians would point this so correctly, greetings from here!
thanks friend!
A pro tip about Brazil: Brazil's capital, Brasilia, is almost completely flat with 0 slopes, inclination or hills. The way you can difference Brasila from the bigger cities is that in those cities the land has been flattened not too long ago, and there's lots of skyscrapers (everything just looks richer than 98% of the country), but in brazilia the place was flatenned long ago and it's not a rich estate so there's not that many skyscrapers or big buildings. Else than that most cities have lots of slopes and declives.
South America as a whole is pretty tough for me. A lot of it just looks similar to me and it’s a huge continent so even when you’re in the correct region it chips off a lot of points. Brazil just happens to be the toughest country on the toughest continent in the game
I think the toughest continent is europe, almost every country is covered and they are very small which make it harder to recognize
@@davidacosta9158 yeah it can be hard to pinpoint the exact country in Europe sometimes but in my opinion its much easier to know what area of Europe youre in. Generally i can narrow it down to 3 countries at most and still get 3500+ points. In south america you can guess the correct country and still only get 1-2k points.
Basically Europe is hard for country streaks and South America is hard for overall points. But for me country streaks is also hard for South America just because most of it looks so similar to me
@@JWhiz True is easier to get the region in europe, and to get the country in south america is very easy once you know some basic architecture and meta for each country, like the google car, license plate, road lines, poles, general landscape etc
The 5 minutes one. Low, thick, thorny bushland. Probably northeast. It's not always dry, that's how it looks in the rainy season.
16:32 from what i can read it says "manancia protection area (DO NOT DESTROY NATURE)"
When you find a 1234-5678 phone you can pinpoint the exactly city, since the first 4 numbers are unique for each city
also brazilian houses have walls, tall walls, manly inside the towns and big cities, most residential buldings also have gatekeppers, at least in MG
I live in brasilia and i could tell when it was brasilia when there were telephones with 61 and when it showed BRB sign, thats a Federal district bank, they mainly have those in the federal district area with some exceptions!
This guy knows Brazil better then me and I am brazilian 😔
Just a hint for the pronounciation of Minas Gerais:
The way you said it is used for when you have words there after the G, comes an U, like in Guerreiro (warrior). But for Minas Gerais, the pronounciation could be done by reading the G as a J, so Minas Jerais
Your guesses were really good! I'm brazilian and I was trying to guess where were those places at the first 5 minutes of the video but you demolished me hahaha. Congrats!
“Where the soil is red and the country looks pretty similar all up and down”
As a brazilian, that hurt like crazy.
The country is huge and the vegetation is different, if you see acacias than you are in the south, if you see palm trees it’s litoral mostly São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, if the vegetation is more dry and rare it’s the north. Even the constructions are because some places have more colonial buildings and other have more European based ones because of immigration.
