Can Italians, Spanish, Portuguese understand each other's language naturally?
They look so similar I can tell apart by impression
Can Italians, Spanish, Portuguese understand each other's language naturally?
they are similar enough that you can talk like 5 year olds and "converse" but not more than that without studying for a bit. If you study for a month you can easily understand.
written portuguese and spanish are almost identical, italian is pretty similar too
spoken is a bit more complicated, we all talk fast so we have to slow down for each other to understand
Spaniards are perfectly understandable of they speak slowly, only a couple words are really different
Italian is much more difficult, I can only understand the very basic
French is a fucking unintelligible mess despite also being Latins
>French
>Latins
French are celts, just like you.
Si, a noi piacciono i piselli dei ragazzi spagnoli e portoghesi carini :3
you haven't spoken a Celtic language ever since GAIVS IVLIVS CAESAR Romanized your Gaulish asses, quit your LARPing
>They look so similar I can tell apart by impression
The ones with greasy hair are Italians, the ones with hentai faces and each others' cocks in their mouths are Spanish and Portuguese
>The ones with greasy hair are Italians, the ones with hentai faces and each others' cocks in their mouths are Spanish and Portuguese
I can understand Spanish perfectly written, and most of them if they speak slowly.
French and Italian I can understand written, spoken can be quite an hassle.
The folk and part of our traditions are still celtic, or ancient proto-celtic but the language was lost, due romans
without having studied other languages first no, i couldn't understand them speaking as they are too fast. written sentences in french and spanish can be broadly understandable, portoguese is too difficult
You need to know the more archaic words to understand them naturally. The languages have diverged a bit, but it's decently understandable.

Does this sound slavic to Froganons and Pastaanons?
>Can Italians, Spanish, Portuguese understand each other's language naturally?
Portuguese is a one-way street of spoken understanding. We understand both Spaniards and Italians rather well (Spaniards more so), but since we reduce/ommit a lot of vowels, it's very hard for them to understand us.
Between Spanish and Italian it must be weird, because they have similar sounds and roots for words, but are farther apart than Spanish/Portuguese are.
We have to try hard to understand Spanish without having studied it, it's very easy to learn though.
Sí que suena algo parecido al Ruso, hay un vídeo en LangFocus donde explica el porqué.
Spanish, at least written is understable without study, or at least you can say on broad terms the context of what is written about. With a little study you will be able to understand almost everything but some obscure broken-spanish slang from the worst latin american favelas
Portuguese is harder, especially for their fucked up pronuntiation
Even brazilians have a hard time understanding us, imagine spaniards and italians.
Spanish is pretty much like a dialect to us. Lots of differences but you can grasp 80 to 90% of it, provided they don't speak at flying jet speed.
Italian requires more exposure and learning some grammar, but once you do that you realize it's easily the closest language to ours outside the iberian peninsula. Some italian dialects are even closer, specially the southern ones.
yes and more or less
and we are also the most glorious
is sounds like a weird spanish with french pronunciation
Napolitan is similar to Spanish from what I understand. Not sure about Sicilian.
Isn't Celtic derived from a common Italo-Celtic ancestor? In any case you have a close relationship to the Mediterranean, despite yourself being only pseudo-Mediterranean
Based and Holypilled
just throw portuguese away it's the baboon monkey version of the other two languages, you know how people make fun of dutch and danish? that's portuguese
>The tyrone that never heard portuguese (euro) for once in his life.
just written portuguese, italian much less but you can get a little meaning of something
spoken very hard
>French is a fucking unintelligible mess despite also being Latins
Wish we'd stop this meme. Though I feel French is closer to Italian than Pr and Sp, which is strange because Pr, Sp and French are in the same Gallo-Iberian or Western Romance family
Portuguese either sounds Russian or like monkey noises. Neither are really good.
The so called common Italo-Celtic ancestor has recently been questioned and is on the verge to be dumped. It seems researchers attributed to Gaulish many linguistic traits that were in fact directly transmitted from Roman to Gaulish
>A Dutch thinks his opinion on languages are relevant...
No but really Portugese does not sound slav. Monkey noises? please kike stop this nonsence
Portuguese absolutely sounds Slavic.
>Portuguese absolutely sounds Slavic.
How can a Romance/celtic language sound slavic? If you are ignorant about a subject why give your shit input? Nobody cares what your opinion is.
Also Russian sounds good to me, so not all slavic languages are bad
It does
Too many "sh" sounds that's why
REEEE
I will fight any men that would say this to my face!
Says the guy who speaks a Barbaric language. Lmao.
>t. another diaspora scum ruining the thread
>>t. another diaspora scum ruining the thread
Be fair this tread was already dyng when i came here.
One being half Portuguese does imply he will shill for Portugal, even tho i do it everyday of my life.
don´t post that brazilian garbage here
She's autist
youtu.be
Venetian dialect is the most similar imo
when europa was europa.

>French are celts, just like you.
stop with this meme you med subhuman
It sounds like Spanish if Spain wasen't a bunch of Moors larping as Chrisitans who took 500 more years than Portugal to end their Reconquista.
I speak Spanish and can more or less understand a Portuguese person speaking but not really an Italian one.
Ok this is how Spanish and Portuguese sound for an italian like me.
>Spanish
Hellos i thinkes Hitleres dides nothings wrongs
>Portuguese
Hll i thnk htlr dd nthn wrng
Shut up you stupid frog, french is unintelligible, case closed.
If I read french then I can understand quite a bit but when you fuckers talk you have all those shitty rules of pronunciations that literally group 4 different letters in one sound. If you said things exactly how they are written it would be so much more comprehensible at first hearing. You managed to be even worse than the anglos.
Yes, Italian is a bit more complicated though, at least for me
this doesn't make any sense. portuguese pronunciation is further away from other romance languages than spanish is...
Nothing more nationalist than Moroccan rape
I can mostly understand spanish but portuguese is actually alien
>Dutch having any say on languages
I knew a diplomat kid named Tico in high school and when he and his family talked it sounded like they were grinding stones in their mouth
Written yes. Spoken no. Unless they speak really slow.
>Portuguese: it's like Vladimir Kurwachok speaking spanish with a brazilian accent
>French: it's like a gay versión of catalan, itself the gayest language in the world. Basically unintelligible due to extreme queerness
>Italian: sounds so friendly you want to hug itanons even when they're saying voglio rompere il tuo cazzo stronzo.
Written and spoken spanish are perfectly understandable to me. I don't understand Italian at all apart from a few words. My grandma only speaks italian and very broken portuguese so I've never really had a real conversation with her
indeed nig
>north portugal
>portugal at all
>portuguese pronunciation is further away from other romance languages than spanish is
portuguese phonetic is similar to the occitano-romance languages like catalan and occitan
Portuguese has more Celtic pronunciation and Germanic words as opposed to Spanish which has more Arabic words, that's just a fact
Yeah, it's like a magic power we have..
Romanian: Hold my beer..
although I do not know if the other Spanish speakers can understand Italian perfectly or at least some words, because I grew up speaking Spanish and Italian as my native languages
Portuguese it's a little bit complicated but if they speak slowly you understand
Portuguese has around 1000 words of Celtic origin, 600 of Germanic origin and 800 of Arabic origin. Spanish has 2000 words of Arabic origin. I haven't found information on the number of Celtic and Germanic words in Spanish.
Are these 3 countries the best countries to live in Europe in terms of climate?
Can't stand the cold.
Indeed. I'm learning french and there's always these funny words they have, f.i for writer they say 'ecrivain' while we say 'escritor'. I'd have thought it would be 'ecriteur'. But then we also have this bit of archaic word 'escribano'. Thing is escritor=/=escribano. Escritor is an author, someone who creates original content in literature whereas escribano refers to that 500 y.o boomer nigger that wrote down whatever he was told to write down, like a medieval secretary or a bureaucrat in the royal court.
Still understandable, but french makes me smile because of things like this. Like, it needs to update its shit up.
The most funny is that mourão or moura have absolutly nothing to do with moors (from the 711).
>Moura is a homonym word with two distinct roots and meanings; one from Celtic *MRVOS, the other from Latin maurus. The word "moura", (moira, maura) (medieval: mora) feminine of "mouro", is thought to originate from the Celtic *MRVOS and the indo-european mr-tuos that originated in Latin the word mortuus and in Portuguese/Galician the word morto (dead). Some authors think that the mouras are the deceased.
>en.m.wikipedia.org
but how would a south american know anything about europe
Yes, for the most part.
Have a look at Catalan, it's like a mix between Spanish and Portuguese.
>Spanish has 2000 words of Arabic origin.
ironically most of those words aren't arabic but they come from sanskrit, persian, greek or aramic
We don't know much, yeah. But we DO know certain things, that you aren't white, for example.
Some sources listed 4000 words. I've picked the most conservative number I found.
More brazilian non-sense. The only region really populated by celts was in south Portugal by the Celtici in alentejo. north portugal had pre celtic population, indo-european that was Celtisized, like the lusitanians in the center.
We have the same. Scrittore vs scriba and scrivàno.
yea monkey yea
what I mean is words like aceituna, albondiga or naranja were introduced by arabs, but if you check the etymology they aren't arabic words in origin
>87.3% Southern European
Meus pêsames
spanish yes, italian a bit. I imagine I could pick up italian in less than a year if I lived there.
we also have escriba, but it's used for the people that worked as bureaucrats in ancient Egypt or Sumer
May be the reason on why the estimate varies so much, between 2000 and 4000 words. Depends on the definition on what's considered to be an Arabic word.
thanks, at least not a monkey
dutch is easily the ugliest language of Europe, it sounds like you're trying to clear your throat. Even polish sounds better than dutch
We also escriba. It's like escribano but even more archaic, like refering to that 2000 y.o boomer taking ieroglyphich notes in a papyro in the court of the egyptian pharaoh
Wow like 5% of our people look human, we're whiter than euros xD
t. Brown braziloid
monkey top of pops projection
Yes.
Exactly that.
>Can Italians, Spanish, Portuguese understand each other's language naturally?
As a Castilian native speaker (Castellano/castilian = Español/spanish) Yes, if you have previous exposure to the other languages you can communicate with the other two speaking slowly and using cognates.
I still remember 1 month ago i was working and two brazilian women asked for directions and nice places to visit, it was a very fluent conversation.
Tip* For some reason i got exposed in a very early stage of my life to "Old Castilian" (thx mom) and the spanish from "latam" come directly from "classical Spanish", you can found some phrases from "classical castilian" in rural areal of Chile and in Chiloe Island.
I can't understand a word of portoguese but spanish is pretty easy to at least understand
Could be a reason
I can read and understand most of Portuguese and italian without even learning it.
I can't understand anything, surprisingly.
>hey Romania, are you Latin?
>"Da"
hmm ok i see
all three languages are from the same families, so anyone can understand in written almost everything.
Listening is more complicated, basically because of pronunciation and use of grammar formulas and more colloquial expressions. Portuguese will understand more Spanish, because they have shit TV and listen to spanish broadcast all their lives.
In all, if you belong to any of these countries, you can learn the other one in about 6 months.
Portuguese is similar, they understand us better than we understand them, if they speak very slowly I think we can understand each other in many things.
Italy more or less the same but I think we understand each other equally, many Italian singers also sing in Spanish to open themselves to a bigger market and they don't have any difficulty doing so, I think Italian is easier to understand than Catalan.
We don't understand French easily, the pronuntiation is too different, and same deal with Romanian.
