Thanks, Margaret.(Please pardon the lack of diacritical marks - my NYU email has confounded my efforts to employ them.)
I received a scholarship from the Ministerio do Negocios Estrangeiro and spent a month studying Portuguese language/grammar and culture at the Universidade de Lisboa, Departamento de Lingua e Cultura Portuguesea. This was one year after the two semesters I took elementary Brazilian portuguese language classes at NYU (where I was teaching painting and drawing). These experiences, back-to-back, highlighted the differences between Iberian and Brazilian Portuguese and have made me aware of the nuances. I love both and have immediate family from Acores, Lisboa, e Sao Paul, Brazil. :) ----- Original Message ----- From: Margaret Vicente <margaretvice...@gmail.com> Date: Saturday, January 2, 2010 11:22 am Subject: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Learn basic Portuguese To: azores@googlegroups.com > Carlos, npt necessarily, legal in PT also means "esta certo/direito" "that's > right or that's correct" > > > On Fri, Jan 1, 2010 at 9:02 PM, Carlos Bertemes <bremen...@yahoo.com.br>wrote: > > > Legal in Brazil means nice, beautiful etc.... in Portugal it > refers to > > the law. > > In English you would refer to COOL > > > > > > > > * * * ** ** * * * > > Karlushko - Itajai/SC/Brasil > > Pesquisando: > > Santa Catarina, Alemanha, Franca, Holanda, Belgica, Espanha > > Portugal, Italia, Luxemburgo > > Reinert, Jungklaus, Van der Gocht, Ottekier, Hesse, Laux, Schumer, > > Bertemes, > > Schilling, Fiorenzano, Feijo, Martins, Costa, Dutra, Dias, Silveira, > Gato, > > Sodre, > > Andre, Arruda, Aguiar, Lemos, Machado, Mattos, Silveira, Mello, Miranda, > > Leal > > Quadrado, Rebello, Marques, Brasil, Teixeira, Baptista, Jorge, Van der > > Burggerie > > > > > > --- Em *sex, 1/1/10, John Vasconcelos <gfsjo...@gmail.com>* escreveu: > > > > > > De: John Vasconcelos <gfsjo...@gmail.com> > > Assunto: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Learn basic Portuguese > > Para: azores@googlegroups.com > > Data: Sexta-feira, 1 de Janeiro de 2010, 20:59 > > > > > > The Braziliin slang is defintely more difficult to translate but "legal" > > Brazillian and European Portuguese should not be that different. > > John > > > > On Wed, Dec 30, 2009 at 4:24 PM, Jacki G. <ja...@cdmmarketing.com< > > > wrote: > > > >> I don't know if I can explain it really but Brazilian portuguese is > >> significantlly different from european portuguese.
