I once visited a friend with 3 Spanish speaking exchange students from 3 different countries. One used a slang term and another berated him for cursing. He explained the term in standard Spanish and it was not. Seems that in one locale the same word is used entirely differently than in another.PedroDuarte wrote:Very good Dustyehehhe i'm glad you didn't forget everything!
Brazilian Portuguese and Native Portuguese have some differences ... for outsiders are not noticeable but even me, when listening to Brazilians, sometimes have difficulties trying to understand what they say. Of course, it's not the usual words and the cheap chat ... it's just those special words that they say that i think " ... that's a funny word ... but what the heck does it means!? "
ehehhe
I'd have forgotten a lot less if that Brazilian beauty I was chasing wasn't too smart to marry me! I ended up with an American beauty instead. (Somebody had to add good looks to my gene pool, so my kids wouldn't be too ugly!)
