"I am your average Canadian young adult spending a year abroad living with
two Portuguese women in Iceland. I can say I’ve learned a few things from my
faithful Portuguese at some point or another.
From : http://thoughtcatalog.com/2013/10-things-i-learned-living-with-portuguese-women/#D7ZJHwtF5zquzMMj.01
1. Every recipe should contain
onions at some point
Making rice? Fry some onions first. Pasta? Same deal. If you want to eat it
for dinner, you better throw in some onions.
2. Your shoes are ugly and cost
less in Portugal
Seriously. Your shoes probably smell like rubber. That means they are bad
quality. Your shoes aren’t sexy with that outfit. Don’t wear those. They don’t
make your calves look nice. I could buy those for 5 euros in Portugal.
3. They actually conquered lots
of shit or something like that
Portugal was an empire! A big one. We discovered more than Brazil – we
promise! Those British just stole our glory from us.
4. If you want to go to the
beach, go to Portugal
We have 3 of the best beaches in the world. In the world. Why don’t they
teach you these things in school.
5. Portuguese is the 6th most
spoken language in the world
We understand Italian, French, and Spanish. It is just because they are all
like Portuguese. Brazilians – they speak cute Portuguese. It is only funny if
you speak Portuguese.
6. Walking too fast is rude
You are walking too fast. Life is meant to be enjoyed. Slow down. It is
rude to walk in front of me, walk beside me.
7. The play-by-play is required
Where are you going? What are you doing? Who are you texting? What are you
cooking?
8. Hair Conditioner and Air
Conditioner are pronounced the same
We just don’t pronounce the “H”. The author would here like to point out
that if you say you bought “air” conditioner and you mean hair conditioner,
English native speakers will be very very confused.
9. It’s Lisboa
Not Lisbon. Lish-bow-ah. Say the city properly.
10. Pastries are better and more
proliferous in Portugal
You will walk into a shop and the walls will be lined with pastries and
they all cost like 50 cents. O you get a coffee with this too and not like this
North American watered down thing, real coffee. "
