You will be able examine vocabulary, grammar structures, and pronunciation patterns to gauge the level of comprehension and ease of communication between speakers of the two languages.

Hello all, I'm the moustache guy from the video. What I meant with "clock-maker" was "relojoeiro". I messed up the word with the nerves. The reason for the confusion is that whenever I need to go to a clock-maker, I go to a jewellery shop where there are "joalheiros" for jewellery makers and "relojoeiros" for clock-makers. Hence the confusion, I mixed both words.

As a Romanian, I understand 50-60% of Portuguese words in conversation. A very beautiful language.

I think it's hilarious that European Portuguese sounds more Slavic than Romanian

Portugal and Romania are probably the most underrated major latin countries, so it was a nice comparison

The similar thing about Portuguese and Romanian is that other romance languages can understand our languages better when they are written instead of spoken.

Iā€™m Portuguese and my husband Romanian. My personal experience has been one of finding Romanian quite an easy language to understand and learn. As for my husband, he struggled a little bit initially, but then found it a breeze to both understand and learn Portuguese.

I'm from Madrid, Spain....so Portuguese was super easy, obviously his accent is strong but totally understandable if you know Spanish. I was able to understand 50% of the Romanian, you can get an idea of what she is talking about but it requires you a lot of concentration

Dana probably doesn't know but for "oglinda" there are two synonyms one is : "specul" similar to portuguese "espelho' but in Romanian that is referring to a mirror used by doctors to examine the human body from interior. Another one is "miraza", similar to french "miroir", but very very old and out of usage, it was used in one verse of a Romanian poem written by Dimitrie Bolintineanu

For "ceas" we also have "orologiu" not commonly used Also for blanket, we also have "covertura" sinonim of "pătură". Plapumă is something different, not for picnic, for bed, and is for winter, originally filled with plums, these days with other materials:)

I love that in these recent years romance speakers have grown an interest in other romance languages, it's really so fascinating to listen to other languages that share a common ancestor to your language.

Swedish, with no formal studies of any Romance language, but a good deal of passive understanding and knowledge of Latin, Spanish and Italian. Watching with the screen scrolled down so I can't see the transcription at the top. The Romanian was easy. I got both words in just a couple of sentences and got most of what she said. The Portuguese was very hard to understand and I didn't get any of the two words. To my ears, Portuguese sounds like "Pjjd dshh prdjsht aoao eoeo brjshj". Either all consonants or all vowels in any given word... ;)

I love this show. I was surprised at how many Romanian words I understood, just using my knowledge of French and Latin. It took me very little time in Italy and Mexico to start conversing with people. Portuguese, with its palatalizing, is difficult to pick up.

Having studied both the Slavic influence on Romanian and the History of the Romanian Language, I find it very frustrating that other romance language speakers always seem to blame the fact they don't understand Romanian on the Slavic influence. The reason you don't understand it is not so much the Slavic influence as it is the fact that Romanian comes from a slightly different type of Latin and some of the words changed their meaning (I could give you a lot of examples of Romanian words of Latin origin that you wouldn't understand because you don't have them in your languages), and also, because of the conjugations that we have and the article that is stuck to the end of the word (in this video, for example I was surprised he didn't understand "măsurarea timpului", although both words are Latin, but that was probably because of the endings). Also, there is no such thing as Slavic sounds or Slavic letters. It's a matter o vowel reduction and of choice of alphabet, or how to represent those sounds.
