Can the Portuguese and Spaniards understand each other?

>>52987748
The languages are quite similar but we cannot understand everything.
>>
>>52988015
When did they become two languages?
>>
Portuguese understand Spanish
Spanish don't understand Portuguese
Make of that what you will
>>
>>52988116
Is it because Spaniards are stupid?
We have that in English. Americans can't understand Brits, Irish, Australians, Kiwis, and South Africans, but we can all understand each other and Americans
>>
>>52987748
Written? Yes
Spoken? Only Brazilian Portuguese
>>
>>52988182
Spanish dont even try to understand portuguese because they are faggots
>>
>>52988182
Is the accent. The same way scottish understand you but you don't understand the scottish
>>
>>52988097
Spanish has more arabic influence, Portuguese is more germanic I think?
>>
>>52988182
We understand hues just fine, it's just that Barbosas have some fucked up phonetics. Mirandese is a lot more understandable.
>>
>>52988226
That's not true or else we wouldn't have Spanish people living here.

We have a basque coach in FCP and he understands Portuguese just fine. We don't need subtitles for what he says either. (And we want him out of the team because he's a fucking incompetent cunt)
>>
>>52988302
Yes, they all speak an old norse dialect there.
>>
>>52988116
I can understand Portuguese pretty easily, I've learn some after playing CSGO with a bunch of hues. It's really similar and almost identical when written.
>>
>>52988347
Sorry i dont know about actual spanish people, but SA ones dont even try
Like in argentina if you didnt say agua the way they say the would go like huh huh?
>>
>>52988182
That's bullshit. There are incomprehensible dialects, but we can mostly understand what you're saying.

Although I will admit that I tried to watch the British version of The Office and had no fucking clue what was going on, so maybe you're not completely wrong. Generally I have no problem understanding other Anglos though.

>>52988097
What we consider "Spanish" is actually Castillan. There are a lot of Spanish dialects/languages spoken in Iberian peninsula. Portugal was never conquered by the Castillans and brought into the Kingdom of Spain, so they kept their own language/dialect

>>52988116
>>52988226
Spanish is a second language to me and it's not spoken in my home or anything, but to me when I hear Portuguese it just sounds like I forgot how to speak Spanish.

From what I understand, it's similar to German and Dutch, i.e. Dutch can understand German fairly easily but Germans have more trouble with Dutch. I've only heard this before I have no idea if it's true.
>>
>>52988182
Also Portugueses rely more on ourselves
>>
>>52988182
You'd have a rough time speaking with a deep Southern redneck or an old school New Englander.
>>
I understand 95% written Portuguese and 30% spoken
>>
>>52988182

It's because of their pronounciation. I had this portuguese job m8 I had difficulties understanding him even when he was speaking in spanish.

Written portuguese is mostly understandable.
>>
>>52988462
>30% spoken
>30%
How? Like, it's really similar, I'd be surprised if any Spanish-speaking person didn't understand at least 60% of it. Although, Brazilian is easy to understand, I guess. No clue about Portuguese
>>
>>52988567
Then for what reason people tried to speak english to me when i was trying to buy shit in argentina?

Portugal has a really fucked up accent that sound more Russian than Latin. Brazil in the other hand has a very neutral accent and more understandable. Check some video on youtube if you don't believe me

I suppose it's similar to Dutch/Afrikaans and Norwegian/Swedish?

If I hear spoken Afrikaans I usually can only understand a single word here and there, but whenever I see a South African post something in Afrikaans here on 4chan I can almost always understand it. As far as I'm aware, it's similar in the /nordic/ threads where people can read each others languages but have trouble making sense of the spoken version (maybe with the exception of Danish which nobody can understand, including the Danes).

It's just phonetically simpler, like all the new world variants. It must sound wrong af to Tugas the same way Mexican sounds wrong to us for the same reason.

Nah. Swedish and Norwegian are much closer than that, just barely outside of being dialects of each other. Spanish and Portuguese are two proper different languages, even if close.

Portuguese originates from Old Galician and then directly from Latin.
Spanish originates from Old Spanish and then directly from Latin.

Galicians can understand Portuguese because its basically the same language.

Spanish picked up a little grammar from Gothic that Portuguese did not. Don't confuse their pronunciation for being Germanic.

They both have lots of Arabic influence.

No, you're fucking retarded and fuck your /pol/ faggotry

Spanish (or Castellano as it is correctly known) is one of several dialects on the Iberian Penis of their various kinds of Latin

Portuguese is another

Catalan is a third, and all are distinct enough to make the Cataniggers butthurt about it

>>52995940
except there's hardly any differences between english dialects aside from scottish

Literally everything in Portuguese is a niggerized version of Spanish words. Spanish words look and sound good, Portuguese is just the babbling of some hue monkeys.

I can understand written

When I went to Valencia, people spoke so fast that I couldn't make shit out of they were saying

Also the only arabic influence in our language is mostly only words (specifically the ones that start with al- )

Also, the Portuguese word for and is "e." é means "is", e means and. Literally the same exact single letter word means two unrelated things.
>>52997563

but e is prounounced closed (é) while è is pronounced open.

Is it easier for Spanish speakers to understand spoken Italian than spoken Portuguese?
>>
>>52996597
>Tú - Você
??????
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese_personal_pronouns#Basic_forms

>>52997702
"e" and "é" are pronounced different.
>>
>>52997982
e and è are written differently because they're not the same phoneme.

In portuguese "e" is prounounced kinf of as "ee" (leech), while é as in chess.
In italian they're more similar, but one is pronounced closed while the other open ( if you don't know what it means, just understand that the pronounciation is different).

sorry but you said
> Literally the same exact single letter word means two unrelated things

indeed it is not the same letter.
>>
>>52998509
Shut up Mario
>>
>>52997702
Is= é (phonetical similar to Yeah)
And= e (phonetically similar to Yii)
>>
>>52996469
Yes i can. It's only the Scot accents that i have trouble with. But they sound like a drunk slurring
>>
>>52997702
Well it's exactly the same thing in French, "et" and "est" are written differently but sound exactly same for most speakers (some people will say they don't, but they're probably just posh assholes). It would be difficult to mix those two in context though, except if you're completely retarded. Same in Italian, between "e" and "è".
