    The thing with the time zone: It's not Portugal that is strange in that regard, it's Spain. Because Spain also used to be on the same time zone as Portugal which really makes sense geographically. But during the fascist Franco regime Spain decided to move one hour ahead to be on the same time zone as Hitler Germany and stayed there ever since.

      Ooh, I love language trivia! Another Lusophone tidbit is the fact that the Portuguese word for tea, chá, is of Asian origin and not European (it's usually just some variant of "te" for the other Latin languages), due to, surprise, all of their early trading with the Japanese. The word "chai" is of course a descendant of the Chinese "chá 茶", which means that we've all been saying "tea tea lattes" this whole time like a bunch of MORONS.

      @@GiantPetRat Many people think that the word tea come from the chinese word thai. But it don't. The word tea come from the portuguese queen of england that introduse tea in England. She loved to drink tea at 5 o'clock, so when she moved to England, she take with her a large wooden box with a lot of tea, and in that box they write "Transporte de Ervas Aromáticas" (transport of scenty weeds) and the servants don't know to read portuguese so everyday they say just the first letters from the box "the queen want her 5 o'clock TEA". Because she was the queen, people want to have tea with her, and that become a standart in high-society, and eventually a standart all across England.

Para un español es infinitamente más difícil entender portugués. Y no tiene nada que ver con soberbia u orgullo, o vagancia, tiene que ver con el sistema fonológico de cada lengua. El español fonéticamente es muchísimo más fácil que el portugués, y para un Portugués, más fácil todavía. Precisamente por la simpleza fonológica del español (en cuanto a vocales sobretodo), un español simplemente NO PUEDE, no es capaz, de distinguir los sonidos del portugués. Lo que a vosotrso os cuesta solo un poco de esfuerzo, para la mayoría de españoles es simplemente imposible, por más que se esfuercen, a no ser que estén acostumbrados a escuchar el portugués y hayan afinado el oído con los años.
