Is Portuguese worth learning?
I want to be a translator, but the bigger languages (French, Spanish, German) are so popular and so many people speak them proficiently that it makes me think learning them is a waste of time

Only if you go to Brazil

Only if you really want sopa de macaco

What flag is that? from some of our old colonies?
about your question i dont know, portuguese is spoken world wide...
>>
>>79555036
Portuguese opens a window for Brazil, be careful though since Portugal and Brazil have different dialect
Pick up Spanish first, and put a lot of time into it, then go for French and then Portuguese, you'll be fluent in no time.

Tem o
Brasão de armas simplificado, de 8 de maio de 1935 a 25 de junho de 1975. - Moçambique ou África Oriental Portuguesa

But we never had that flag that way

If you take some random justification made-up or not, from a LARPer or not from the other. In addition to the Argie dude says, it can open the door to Angola but currently with oil price down there's no incentive working there.

Arabic is good to terrorists attacks and see what the NAFRIs are trying to say

Did you even read my first sentence?

It's probably for the best. You need to know Brazilian Portuguese to be able to speak Euro Portuguese, anyway. You need to know which vowels in "dezasseis" to cut (dzs-ayx)

"Lay-txee" or "Lay-tee", at best. not "Lêchê" like Sp*ciard

It's not ideal, mind you, but it's a good first step onto the bet romance language.

Spanish is not wrong though
>>
>>79561088
It's wrong on the "language" part. It's just discount Portuguese.

we use both here
i still dunno which one is which
>>
No. You know, the Brazilian market of translator is already giant.
>>
>>79561416
Some people meme that one has spikes on the leaves, while the other one doesn't, but it's a lie.

They are just different words from different local tribes, sold by different merchants for the same thing. One of them took over in Brazil, whereas the other one took over in Portugal, and thus everywhere else in the world that uses the word, since WE WUZ merchants and whatnot.

Xega dji rialidahdji
>>
>>79561718
how's their "chega" different from ours?

also, he doesn't really say "dji", he says "di".

But the lyrics are Portuguese as fuck.
>>
Italian, Spanish and Portuguese are somehow related.

It shouldn't be difficult jump from one to another when you think it's the time.

Anyway, translation in general is a waste of time. It is a career with a very dark future.

>>79555036
sim, eu acho q vc preciser falar portuguese
>>
>>79562024
you're right. I was speaking from memory, but he does always say "dji".

my point about the lyrics still stands, though

Why? Do you mean because of google translate?

>>79555036
