>Svica

It's a Š, which represents one of the most common sounds in Portuguese, actually (I think you write it as X).

STOP WITH THIS FUCKING BLASPHEMY DIO LADRO

Euro Portuguese. At the end of words. Most Brazilian dialects use the regular "s" sound instead.

I mean, they do use the X sound in the middle of words (either X or CH), but it's no more common than other sounds like it is up here because they don't use it for every word ending in 's' like we do.

MACCARONI IS NO PASTA MACCARONI ARE A FEATHER IN A HAT

>>70558724
Haha, I can't believe some of you westerners are unable to see the difference between Š and S (the caron mark above the S).

š - s

westerners overlook it because they're not used to seeing it and subconsciously substitute it for what they know, I guess

>>70558895
our X can be pronounced in like 3 or 4 ways:

'z' -> exacto (exactly)
'sh' -> xadrez (chess)
'cs' -> inexorável (inexorable)

'ex' -> changes from esh to eish (excelente)

etc etc

the best sound for Š would be "ch" (sh), since it's less ambiguous.

>>70559118
thanks for the info, it ought to come in handy some day

>>70559116
I still read it as "S", because I'm not used to the accent, even if I know the sound. Same thing with the Czech and Polish "Cz". I know how to read it, but it's not immediate.

>>70559194
The final 's' in plurals is also not as full as the english 'sh'. It's much shorter and towards the tip of the tongue, whereas the the X or ch in the middle of words is a bit longer.

Xadrez (here the z is as short as that s I was talking about) has both sounds, and most people don't even notice it, with the first being longer than the last.
