We will look at the most common false friends/cognates between English and European Portuguese. Words that you would assume mean the same as in your mother tongue, but mean something completely different.

    Thank you for doing this. Such a patience, kindness and the way you teach this lovely language. I watch quite a bit of your videos, listen to your podcast to learn at least some of the basics before my trip to Algarve. Thank you.

    When I visited Portugal for the first time as a young girl, I had a bit of a cold for the first few days. Lots of people were asking if I had "constipacao" and I was so confused as to why they were asking me such a personal question lol.

      I can only imagine how weird it must have been having people asking you that question! 😆 But this is the sort of thing that sticks to your brain when you’re learning a language, so it is embarrassing, but helpful 🤪

    This is very useful. Two small comments though: "bookstore" is an Americanism. We would say "book shop". Also, "offense" is the American spelling of "offence".

      lol ... choldra is slang for prisão, but for the actual facility, the building, the place where prisioners are kept. Not really used for prisão as in state of obstruction, constriction... constipation 😄 (I have no idea if this was a genuine question or just a fun quip... if it was the later, sorry 😅)

    Uma pequenina correção: a palavra parente significa principalmente progenitor, englobando também o significado notado no vídeo.
    Mas compreendo a razão da explicação no vídeo, a palavra realmente é quase ou mesmo nada usada no referendo aos pais.
    Logo são palavras algo amigas? hahaha

    • @portuguesewithcarla
      @portuguesewithcarla  2 года назад

      Olá 😊 A palavra “parente” realmente origina-se de uma palavra do latim que significa progenitor, pai ou mãe. Contudo, em português não tem (como mencionou no comentário), e por isso ninguém a usa com esse significado. Talvez inicialmente o tenham feito e seja um exemplo de derivação semântica, provavelmente por essa razão haja palavras relacionadas, como por exemplo “parental” que se referem ao pai ou à mãe. Assim “parentes” e “parents” têm a mesma origem, mas hoje em dia sentidos diferentes 👍🏽
      Mas se encontrar um dicionário de língua portuguesa (de Portugal) que contenha a definição da palavra “parente” com o sentido de “progenitor”, gostava de ver 🙂

    Huh. As a Brazilian, it's very surprising to me that "decepção" in Portugal is "deceção", especially considering that in most cases like this, Portugal is the country that has the extra letters (facto, contacto etc). Good to know, and keep up the great work.

    • @PortugalForYou
      @PortugalForYou 2 года назад

      No, Brazilian Portuguese has also a lot of extra letters and vowels with ^ that no exist in European Portuguese: Receção, metro, sumo, porno, etc.

    • @Wyzarka
      @Wyzarka 2 года назад

      @@PortugalForYou I know. That's why I said "in MOST cases". Also, by extra letters I meant the P or C that usually goes before another consonant. Recepção would be an example, but metrô, sumô and pornô would not. My comment was just to point out a neat little thing I never knew about European Portuguese.

      @@Wyzarka olá 😊 and thank you for your comment. I know what you mean, In Portuguese from Portugal, the c and p letters that have dropped are the ones that were not usually pronounced like in the words, rece(p)ção, ó(p)timo, a(c)to, a(c)ção, etc. But for words where the “c” is pronounced by the majority of Portuguese natives the c and the p as you pointed out are kept in and are not affected by the spelling agreement: facto, contacto, secção, adaptação.
