Portuguese Word Search
Everyday Portuguese for a first lesson: olá and tchau, bom dia and obrigado, the família with mãe, pai and avó, the escola with a caderno, and feijão, the beans served with rice at a Brazilian table.
The accents change sounds and meanings. A tilde marks a nasal vowel, so não, mãe, pão and coração all hum through the nose, and the cedilla under the c in maçã gives it an s sound. One mark can change the person: avó with an acute accent is a grandmother, and avô with a circumflex is a grandfather. Thanks agrees with the speaker, so a man says obrigado and a woman says obrigada, from the word for obliged.
Far more people speak Portuguese in Brazil than in Portugal; Brazil alone has over 200 million people. The Treaty of Tordesillas in 1494 split newly reached lands between Spain and Portugal, and Pedro Cabral landed on the Brazilian coast in 1500. The two sides of the ocean still differ: a bus is an ônibus in Brazil and an autocarro in Lisbon, and a baby is a bebê in one and a bebé in the other. Saudade, a longing for someone or something far away, is a word speakers on both sides call their own.
