In this video I want to help you avoid some embarrassing moments I and many other language learners face. 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.
Have you had some embarrassing moments with one of these or others? Comment below.

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.
You’re very welcome 😊 we’re very happy to know you’re making the most of our materials to help you enjoy our trip to Portugal 🤗
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".
Obrigada, Sarah 🙂
Que ótimo vídeo!
Obrigadissimo professora Carla!
Beijinhosssss,
😘
obrigadissima..
Also obstipação if you want to be more formal
6:10 - _To compromise_ também pode ser "pôr algo/alguém em risco". 😉
That's right! 🤩
Great information!!!
I knew a much older lady who canceled an appointment with me because she was constipated! I thought TMI, but learned later what she meant
🤣
Love that you made a video about this, was very helpful!
You’re very welcome - glad it was of benefit to you 😊
By all means feel free to make suggestions for further videos 👍🏽
This is so helpful! Thank you
De nada 😊
Another crazy one: PT “salsa” can mean salsa but it also means parsley! 😱 Could be really confusing at a restaurant!
O vídeo muito interessante! Muito obrigada, muitas coisas ficaram mais claras para mim depois :)
Ola Carla! Muito obrigado pelo video muito util e interessante! 😀👍
Hi)
I like your videos a lot. Consider please making a video about prepositions👩🏻🏫
😊 obrigada pela sugestão.
Óptima dicção. Parabéns
Muito obrigada 🥰
Gostei muito! Aprendi das duas línguas Feliz Ano 2023 da Argentina
Fantástico! Felicidades para este ano e para os que hão de vir 🤗
What happened to series 2? I liked those lessons.
Muitos problemas em Portugal são que o trabalho não é fácil de encontrar e a moradia também é muito difícil.
Lamento que assim seja 😞
I tried a translator in Google and it makes and made no sense especially when describing a symptom 1:38
Ola Carla e a fam Rodrigues como estas? 5:26
Beijinhos 😘
Now can you say "Choldra de ventre" for constipation?
Never heard it said like that 😅 but it could be a regional thing.
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 😅)
Convenhamos que "Confidente" e "Confidant" são extremamante parecidas 😅
I signed up to your newsletter but there's not much going on, not even a welcome email. Will you guys be posting something soon?
Hi Mathew have you’ve received any info from us yet??
Olha, pronto eu já tive o momento embaraçoso quando achei que a palavrinha por 'preservative' é..."o preservativo"
😰😥
😅 it happens to the best of us 😁
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
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 🙂
Push e puxe 30 anos de inglês e ainda me confundo
🤣 eu também!
Na minha língua, sérvio, duplo significa duplo. Pergunta: quem emprestou esta palavra de quem?
A palavra portuguesa “duplo” origina-se do latim. Talvez o sérvio tenha sido influenciado pelo vizinho romeno… 🤔
@@portuguesewithcarla Sim, senhoras e professoras estão sempre certas. 🌹
@@kamenkokasikovic2499 😜
is there going to be any new videos soon?
Sorry for the delay 😕 but surely working on it 😀
@@portuguesewithcarla no problem Carla… I am self taught in Portuguese and been teaching myself for two years already in Portugal. I’m planning to take some classes just to be able to work on my congregation because it seems that I am struggling with this.
Thanks for reaching out to my comment 😊
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.
No, Brazilian Portuguese has also a lot of extra letters and vowels with ^ that no exist in European Portuguese: Receção, metro, sumo, porno, etc.
@@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 well, in European Portuguese, a lot of C and P letters also disappear in many words. Unfortunately, there are many sites and videos from "Brasilian Portuguese" saying the wrong information.
@@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.
Is "traje" a word for costume?
That'd be Spanish, right?
Traje is a synonym for roupa (clothes). We could use traje as a costume, but it isn’t as common.
Is it difficult to speak Portuguese?
I guess anything feels difficult when you don’t know it. But maybe you’ll info the info in this video helpful: ruclips.net/video/ftjw0mnvWFI/видео.htmlsi=1KT3Z8ytqf_syJlS
