I am Brazilian... And we don't speak Spanish

We are the only country in the American continent that used to be sovereign monarchy and empire.

And also we are the only country in South America that doesn't speak Spanish, we speak Portuguese. Not a dig at our Spanish-speaking friends, its just everybody seem to think we speak Spanish like everyone else under the tropics :P

Can you play soccer?

No. And I hate soccer too, for that matter.

ISSAÊ :P

verdade.

and RJ isn't the capital, and that's not our flag.

@wbr17: I know that, it was the flag used during the Imperial times :P

E bem vindo ao Comicvine, irmão :)

@dragonborn_ct: I know you know, just maying known for the ones that don't know, you know?

You speak Portuguese, yeah?

@wbr17: Yeah, we know what they don't know. Just letting you know?

@nelomaxwell:Yeah bro, it is in the OP :P

The only one country that speaks Portuguese for that matter.

Well technically there were at least three major empires in South and central America before Brazil existed, Y'know the Mayan, Inca and Aztecs all had full on monarchy as well.

@joshmightbe: Yeah, sure... While Brazil is the largest country in SA and kicked the asses of two countries originated from these empires. Just sayin' ◔_◔

Ok I will shut it.

...I thought most people knew Brazilians didn't speak spanish......

Awesome things about Brazil.

:D

@joshmightbe: Yeah, yeah... Sure dude cultural posturing much :P

@norrinboltagonprime21: You would be surprised.

@dragonborn_ct: I should be, people never cease to amaze me in all the wrong ways.

You're a bad Brazilian O_O

Mmhmm. You got it.

It's interesting how the Portuguese maintained a part of China for some time (Macau), and now the Chinese are investing billions in Brazil and signing treaties to come to their aid in the case of a conflict, essentially making Brazil a Chinese client-state.

How do Brazilians feel about this trend? As a Brazilian, what are your thoughts on the rise of China as a world power and major influence in South America?

@dragonborn_ct: Do you samba and have fiesta ?

lol :D

I sent you a PM. Did you get it?

@darkazrael999: I didn't.

Check your Inbox. Maybe it's there. O_O

@dragonborn_ct: I'm sorry I don't speak Spanish. Could you say that again? :P

So what part of Brazil do you hail from?

It's pretty much the same problem in Europe with Portuguese people. I'm Portuguese living in the UK and most people think that 1. I speak Spanish, and 2. Portugal is a city in Spain.

And just to add, the Brazillian monarchy and Empire was started by a Portuguese prince - so basically your empire and monarchy was Portuguese. :P

Why portuguese?

and can i ask where portugual is relative to you guys?

Did Tropa de Elite paint a fairly accurate picture of life in the favella?

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY RAIIYN ლ(ಠ___ಠლ)

WHYYYYYYY OSTYO ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)

Rio de Janeiro, Southeast :P

Brazil was colonized by Portugal, and thus we speak Portuguese language. There is also the fact EnigmaLantern added the Brazillian monarchy and Empire was started by a Portuguese prince - so basically our empire and monarchy was Portuguese.

Touché, bro :P

Yeah we have samba, but I don't know what is fiesta :P

@dragonborn_ct: lol i was just asking you stereotypical questions :D

@monsterstomp: Look up the post above I posted about soccer/metal/women and carnaval :P

Yes very much. And how police deals with violence.

Hm... I don't know anything about the Chinese wanting Brazil, bro. I don't think they are planning what you think they are doing and or if Brazilians even noticed it to be honest.

@consolemaster001: lol There were other stereotypes like Brazilians more with being soccer-obsessed, women being bombshells and gigantic street violence rates :P

@dragonborn_ct: Yes I saw that ;)

Brazil has some of the hottest chicks in the world. Sucks that I don't speak the language.

@dragonborn_ct: Cool.

@dragonborn_ct: Is Southeast cooler then Northeast?

@ostyo: Putting in perspective, the Southeast is the richest, most populous region in Brazil, while the Northeast is the poorest, least populated one. Its a barren wasteland where the people struggle with droughts that last for years even with very few rains in between. Some places don't have electric energy or Internet. People struggle a lot in the Northeast, and try to find a better life down here.

yes. treaty of tordesillas. route around africa nd all that. arbitrary drawing of the line by the pope....i thought most people knew brazilians spoke portuguese

@dragonborn_ct: Aha! You're rich...but you still whine about having to pay $10,000 for a PS4!? :P

Because you hate soccer. Like... You can't really be Brazilian if you hate soccer... O_O

Also, Spain and Portugal used to pretty much be the same country, sharing a monarchy and everything. The languages are also super similar minus the really gross accent from the chop side <.<

Makes sense people get confused.

Spanish>Portuguese though... just sayin' >.>

:(*sulks in the corner*

I am middle class and we don't have money growing trees here -__-

@dragonborn_ct: What type of trees do ya got? :D

@dragonborn_ct: Yeah, like everyone assumes that anyone north of Mexico speaks English. Screw them, right?

@ostyo: Palmeiras and coqueiros :P

@squares: Huh... I can't tell from your post but it sounds like you are pissed.

Nope, was trying to make a joke.

@edamame: I'd say its actually pretty good in fact. We are at very good terms with the Portuguese.

@squares: Oh okay sorry :P

As long as you speak English that's all that matters =).

@Dragonborn_CT: Do you like Brazilian nuts?

@dragonborn_ct: I love your women .

Ah :) As if you could not already be any more awesome!
