Honesty, I was bored again and I figured I'll do something. So I did a search for people who needed something translated from Portuguese to English or the other way around. And while translating some things I realize that some people tend to forget that Brazilian Portuguese and European Portuguese are not exactly the same. There is a differences between the two when it comes to certain things, not just the accent or some words.
1. For example:
English - File, Mouse, Password, Screen and Windows Explorer
European Portuguese - Ficheiro, Rato, Palabra-passe, Erã, and Explorador the Windows
Brazilian Portuguese - Arquivo, Mouse, Senha, Tela, and Windows Explorer
2. For example:
English - Hello (on the phone)
European Portuguese - Estou, está lá, sim, estou sim
Brazilian Portuguese - Alô
3. For example:
English - nickname
European Portuguese - alcunha
Brazilian Portuguese - apelido
4. For example:
English - bathroom, toilet
European Portuguese - casa de banho, quarto de banho, lavabos
Brazilian Portuguese - banheiro, toalete
5. For example:
English - How are you?
European Portuguese - Como estás/estão?, Tudo bem?
Brazilian Portuguese - Tudo bem?
6. For example:
English - Bye
European Portuguese - adeus, tchau
Brazilian Portuguese - tchau
7. For example:
English - ice cream
European Portuguese - gelado, sorvete
Brazilian Portuguese - sorvete, picolé
8. For example:
English - your, yours
European Portuguese - vosso/s > vossa/s
Brazilian Portuguese - seu/s > sua/s, de vocês
9. For example:
English - please
European Portuguese - se faz favor, faz favor, por favor
Brazilian Portuguese - por favor
10. For example:
English - Daddy, Mommy
European Portuguese - pai/papá, mãe/mamã
Brazilian Portuguese - papai, mamãe
11. For example:
English - bag
European Portuguese - saco, saco/mala de viagem
Brazilian Portuguese - bolsa, bolsa de viagem
12. For example:
"I love you", the correct way to say it in Brazil is "te amo" and the correct way to say it in Portugal is "amo-te".
13. For example:
When it comes to certain words, they have different meaning such as 'Bizarro'.
European Portuguese - "smart", "elegant", or "kind".
Brazilian Portuguese - "weird", "bizarre".
14. For example:
When it comes to the words, Mama and Peito they refer to the breasts. Peito may also refer to the chest for a guy.
Brazilian Portuguese - Mama is a technical term (cancer de mama: breast cancer). But when using peito it is an obscene word (que peitos granders!: what huge tits!).
European Portuguese - However, in this language it is used in an obscene sense (que grandes mamas!: what huge tits!)
15. For example:
The words moça and rapariga.
Brazilian Portuguese - Moça is used to refer to young ladies (aquela moça: that young lady). And the word rapariga means "concubine" (in an offensive sense) or even "prostitute".
European Portuguese - However, the word moça is considered rude (because it was used to refer to servants); instead the words senhorita (little lady), menina (girl) or rapariga may be used. Rapariga means "young lady" for the European Portuguese.
