The ultimate guide for any galician trying to speak portuguese... (Chapter I)

"Muito obrigado", Rober:

What I've learned from this video:

• "Jantar", which is pronounced like the galician word "xantar", doesn't mean lunch, but dinner.
• "Almoço", which is similar to the galician word "almorzo", means lunch, not breakfast.
• "Azeite" is used just for referring to olive oil. All the other kind of oil are called "óleos".
• "Salsa" means parsley, so if you want some sauce with your meal, then you must ask for "molho".
• "Xamón", the word we use to refer to ham, can be confused with hashish because of its pronunciation ("chamon" in portuguese). You should ask for "presunto" to avoid trouble with police...
• Following this kind of drug misunderstanding, you may ask for a "dose", but all you'll get will be a serving (maybe a serving of "xamón" :D)
• "Vaso" means vase, you know, to keep your flowers wet. If you ask for a "vaso" of water you'll get some laughs instead of "a glass of water".

I hope you enjoy learning portuguese with Coco me.

See you!
