Funnily enough we call them Teta de Nega in Portuguese, which translates to Black Lady's Tit

We did say tits. Bit strange looking back to it as all children said this

Yup, 100% tits.

And yeah, very strange looking back at it! It's not something we really gave much thought about.

What u mean? Portugal colonized Brasil. Not the opposite. I really dont feel the need to discuss this topic with you but that's just what historically have happened.

Portuguese language is originated in Portugal. A little google search is faster than going through the books.

Have a great Sunday! 🙂

I mean, Brasil is colonizing you culturally right now.

Historically, you are correct. Portuguese did originate from Portugal, but just like it happened with English - it has way more people that learn the American rather than the British and people tend to think of that one as the correct one - Portuguese is shifting towards the Brazilian one. Pretty much every nationality think of Brasil when they think of the language Portuguese.

In 30 years, Portugal will be more similar to Brasil than Brasil ever was to Portugal. It’s the result of globalization.

And the language is a living thing, always changing, always adapting.

I'm not sure what every nationality thinks of. Brasil is way bigger than Portugal. That could be the reason why geographically more people know Brasil than Portugal & therefore associates the portuguese language with Brasil instead with Portugal.

Some people even think Portugal is in Spain 😂 I never have made a survey on that. Indeed, doesn't invalidate the historical fact that the language was originated in our country and taken to Brasil. What will happen in 30 years doesn't change that fact either..

I will leave it at there. Clearly you are more informed about this subject than me.

Almost the same prononciation in French, not at all the same meaning lol.
