A thread about Carnival and you being up Utsa? Not my first choice but different strokes I guess.

[Trill Clinton]

Brazil hands down. Have you seen the brazillian pornos? Lawd.


Lebomb, what year did you graduate from UTSA?

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Uh, yeah. Its not Mardi Gras in Brasil(:lmao), its Carnival. They celebrate pretty much the same thing as Mardi Gras here.

I'm pretty sure the carnival is a celebration of Mardi Gras, same as in Europe.

[BlackSwordsMan]

slomo put down his subway to pwn this bitch back to guatamala

"Carnival comes from the Latin words carne vale, meaning "farewell to the flesh."'

traditionally, mardi gras is the last day of carnival...so slomo is correct.
there are also a shitload of subways in europe.


sorry, no atheists allowed.

Brazilian girls are very hit or miss. People have this perception of Brazilian chicks as the Victoria Secret models but that is the minority ''whiter'' population there.

[Red Hawk #21]

Brazil is an amazing country especially when it comes to sex and things of that nature, I really have to visit one of these days.

Look, I found some pictures of Carnival. Does it get any better?

[Viva Las Espuelas]

In Brasil, they have Carnival. They don't call it Mardi Gras. If you ask a Brazilian what Mardi Gras is, they'll look at you like a cow looks at a new fence. My buddy from Brasil says they celebrate Carnival there, not Mardi Gras.

[CavsSuperFan]

IMO They just look like every day people from Los Angeles…Except without the bon fires & tipped over police cars…

1994............ :toast

[lebomb]

My bad on the Mardi Gras......Carnival thing. I should know better, Ive been to Sao Paulo twice.

Also, the women there are mainly Portuguese and African in descent. Hence the long dark hair, nice features, big ol titties and a nice juicy FawtBox.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

That's where my buddy grew up. There and Rio.

[cantthinkofanything]

We were in Florida a few years ago and there was this really cute girl at the bar. When I tried to talk to her, she started speaking what I thought was Spanish. So I tried talking to her with my limited Spanish vocabulary which amounts to "where is xxxxx?". After less than a minute, I tucked my tail between my legs, and backed off. Later on, the bartender told me she was speaking Brazilian. But of all the girls I've ever seen and regretted not getting to know more, she's at the top of the list.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Speaking Brasilian :lol

Brasilian?

You mean Portuguese?

[cantthinkofanything]

No. Brazilian. Anyway, she'd be in the hotel for a couple of weeks and the bartender knew quite a bit about her and her family. They had a some kind of soda distribution place in Brazil.

[DisAsTerBot]

no, you mean portuguese

Agree. Brazilians are generally not very attractive. I am married to a Brazilian and can go there anytime and have no interest in going.

I would rather go to northern Europe or Ireland, much better looking girls there. Very few blue eyes in Brazil, too much black blood mix in the people.

I can't speak Mexican either.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Then you're really screwed.

[Drachen]

at least he can speak american.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

I hope he knows jive.

Portuguese is Brasil's official language

OK, I'll acknowledge that Portuguese is spoken in Brazil. But it's not the only language. There's lots of people that speak Spanish in Portugal even though Portuguese is the "official" language.

Anyway, the point of my story was that the girl at the bar was native Brazilian and was speaking Brazilian. It was funny because I was drunk and trying to speak broken Spanish to her. And the real point of the story was how cute this girl was.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Uh, Spain is right by Portugal. Either way, we're talking about Brasil.

I hope this is an act :lol

[cantthinkofanything]

That kind of makes my point. It's easy to understand speaking Spanish in Portugal. But there's no real reason that Portuguese is the "official" language of Brazil. But in any event, what is "official" and what is spoken are often totally different.

[Sportcamper]

DVD Regions
BPO= Brazilian Portuguese
POR= Portuguese

What we require now is a feat of linguistic legerdemain and a degree of intrepidity...

Portuguese is the official or "official" language of Brasil. And your last statement could be said about mostly any country. There's a country in Africa where Portuguese is the official language as well.

[CubanMustGo]

Dude, you are just wrong. Admit it.

Languages in Brazil
Language is one of the strongest elements of Brazil's national unity. Portuguese is spoken by nearly 100 percent of the population. The only exceptions are some members of Amerindian groups and pockets of immigrants, primarily from Japan and South Korea, who have not yet learned Portuguese. The principal families of Indian languages are Tupí, Arawak, Carib, and Gê.

There is about as much difference between the Portuguese spoken in Brazil and that spoken in Portugal as between the English spoken in the United States and that spoken in the United Kingdom. Within Brazil, there are no dialects of Portuguese, but only moderate regional variation in accent, vocabulary, and use of personal nouns, pronouns, and verb conjugations. Variations tend to diminish as a result of mass media, especially national television networks that are viewed by the majority of Brazilians.

The written language, which is uniform all over Brazil, follows national rules of spelling and accentuation that are revised from time to time for simplification. They are slightly different from the rules followed in Portugal. Written Brazilian Portuguese differs significantly from the spoken language and is used correctly by only a small, educated minority of the population. The rules of grammar are complex and allow more flexibility than English or Spanish. Many foreigners who speak Portuguese fluently have difficulty writing it properly.

Because of Brazil's size, self-sufficiency, and relative isolation, foreign languages are not widely spoken. English is often studied in school and increasingly in private courses. It has replaced French as the principal second language among educated people. Because Spanish is similar to Portuguese, most Brazilians can understand it and many can communicate in it, although Spanish speakers usually have difficulty understanding spoken Portuguese.

As to the 'reason'? Portuguese explorers discovered and settled Brazil.

uta beat utsa in bball though.

We can agree to disagree. I'm sure I could Google and find an explanation 180 degrees opposite than yours. There are parts of the United States ("official" language English) where Mexican is spoken by > 63% of the local population.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Ah. The ol' moving of the goalposts. :golfclap

[redzero]

Everybody who is seriously responding to this moron should end themselves.

[DarkReign]

Just realized I got trolled again.

But just in case and the fact that I dont care.

There is no such thing as "speaking Brazilian". There is no such thing as a "Brazilian language". Just the same as there is no such thing as "American language" or "mexican language".

Americans speak English, yet England is in Europe.
Mexicans speak Spanish, yet Spain is in Europe.
Brazilians speak Portuguese, yet Portugal is in Europe.

Think about what common amongst those comparisons.

I don't know...the math doesn't make sense to me. I think this is one of those things that doesn't really have a hard answer.

Are you autistic?

I was in France & seen people speaking French…I think this is one of those agree to disagree threads…

[The Reckoning]

you're all wrong. brazilians speak approximately 210 different languages.

Sure.

[cantthinkofanything]

Are you autistic?


Sure.

Personally, I think the media is pushing for autistic to be the next cool thing. Kind of like nerdy cool. It'll be hip to be autistic in the next year or so.

:toast to DarkReign for anticipating the movement and getting on the front of the train

Good points

The hot Brazilians seem to all have green or hazel eyes. The black blood mix girls are too manly looking
