TWO languages in one head? No one can live at that speed! MY GOD MAN!

[daddyleon]

No-no-no!

Good translation xD

idk, I don't speak Portuguese :P (I would love too, but I don't)

But the spelling part is funnier too look at... hmmm idk, it just looks funnier :P

If you could teach me Portuguese, I could tell you if you translated it correctly :P

[daddyleon]

Only when I speak it fluently.

xD

Yeah thank you. this is gr8 :P

[jvictorthegreat]

I think the Portuguese J is the English 'zh' as in Dr. Zhivago or the 's' in 'Asia'.

The Portuguese 'h' is totaly silent. The 3 exceptions are 'nh', 'lh' and 'ch'. The first one('nh') is, as you wisely said, just like the Spanish 'ñ'.

The Portuguese 'lh' sounds more like the Italian 'gli' as in 'voglio' or 'tagliarini'.

And the Portuguese 'ch' is just like the French 'ch' as in 'chian' or 'chose' or the English 'sh' as in 'show' (different from the English or Spanish 'ch').

Satisfied?

[daddyleon]

Ahh

like the English "sh" (in Dutch "sj" (isone of the possibilities; we borrow a words a lot) )

The Portuguese "nh" is liek the Spanish "ñ"; deos that mean the Portuguese "h" is like the "y" too?

[jvictorthegreat]

No. Although Spanish and Portuguese are very similar languages the pronunciation it very different and that's one of the reasons many Spaniards can't understand our language. The Portuguese J is more like the French J as in "Je t'aime".

Anyway, thanks for the short lesson.

[daddyleon]

Lol, how you know those parts? :P

Is your (Portuguese) J like the Spanish J (so like the Dutch G).

The (Dutch) H, U and UU would be rather difficult for you (Maybe EI and IJ, hmm and UI lol GOOD LUCK!!)

About the comments... You´ve earned them :P Don't worry. ;"-}

[jvictorthegreat]

NO, I actually looked at you "profiel". I would love to speak Dutch:

-"Hoe gaat het?"

-"Alles goed."

That's beautiful! But too hard for me.

Thanks for the comments anyway.

[daddyleon]

Lol Victor, or were you guessing??

Cos of the 4 languages thing?:P

[daddyleon]

Yes, took a look at my, what's it called, profile?

Ja, heb je even naar mijn, hoe heet dat ook al weer, profiel?

xD Better?:P

Not really is it:P

... Erhm.. Adios? (That's only Spanish is it, not Portuguese.)

[jvictorthegreat]

Well. That will be a pleasure. Especially if I could learn some dutch(you speak Dutch, don't you) from you.

Tot ziens.
