I have Brazilian friends. It doesn't. Maybe if you've never heard either language spoken before.

I don't care. Paul isn't an expert and he even says in that video that many/most native speakers would agree it doesn't.

See an ENT if these sound the same to you; you may need a hearing aid.

He seems to know more than you. There's clear phonological similarities, even if just a little bit superficially, but you're like "durr no it doesn't at all". The fact that it's a pretty common question kinda subverts that.

Lmao. Right to the personal attacks because your stupid topic got called out. Paul is generally fairly informed but he does make plenty of mistakes from time to time, and is not a language specialist, just an enthusiast. And the article you give provides some reasons for why *some people* may think they sound similar. They don't. Sorry your topic is a giant failure.

your argument that it doesn't is literally "they don't"

they sound similar enough that the question gets asked a lot. and reasonable explanations are given for it.

that kinda ruins your "it doesn't at all, not even remotely, because I said so" argument

so who's the stupid one here?

What makes your opinion more valid that the many people who have said it resembles a Slavic language, including people who are Slavic speakers?

There is a staggering and frankly disappointing ignorance of the difference between Brazilian Portuguese and European Portuguese in this topic. Yes, European Portuguese sounds like russian.

Did you know that Brazil isn't the only country that speaks Portuguese?

Turns out there's this whole fuckin' notSpain place called Portugal that is specifically mentioned to be what is being discussed here.

Or is this the part where you pretend you never flipped your shit over being wrong?
