You're right. They don't even have electricity in South America, what were they thinking?

Sweeeeet!!

Portuguese is the language from Portugal, which is an european country.

Here in Brazil (I can't talk about the whole south america), we do have eletricity and some of us go as far as having our own copies of HL2, I shit you negative.

But the translation sucks for us brazillians, our portuguese is more different from Portugal's than american english is from the original.

Yes, I know, I was I being a bit sarcastic.

I never considered the differences between Portugal's Portuguese and South America's. That makes sense though, considering the distances and the amount of time of being separated from one another. How bad is it? With English English vs. American English it's mostly different vocabularly (and accents, but even the US has its own distinct regional accents).

I would imagine it's better than nothing.

Ok, then. Sarcasm suffers through written language, no?

I prefer the english version, myself. The differences are: vocabulary; accent (it's almost impossible for a brazillian to fully understand a portuguese, they talk REALLY fast); structure and verbal use (in Brazil, we use a lot all the three kinds of past that our language has. In Portugal, they use mostly the main two).

For example, when you shout "go, go, go" in cs:s, it shows "avança, avança". That's typical Portugal's portuguese, whereas brazillian portuguese would be "vai, vai, vai". We are less formal and stuff.

OMG This just made me laugh

So many racist comments. I'm portuguese and I feel insulted. Thanks, I hope you get some information about Portugal and the Portugueses and then talk about it.
And then, please, can you give me a meal? Cause here we eat only what we find in the ground.

Fdp's.

Tell me about it. I fire up the Spanish version and I hear them speak with an accent from Spain. It'd be as if they had an English version from England and have Barney have a Cockney accent.
