Barbara 15,149 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 because DIEGO COSTA THE COFFEE MAN MAKER doesn't speak ENGLISH does that mean JOSE our MOURINHO speaks to him in PORTUGUESE or SPANISH. If that is the case it is a good thing that we Have Jose Mourinho.how different is Portuguese, Brazilian and Spanish Languages compare - comparison to each other.As far as I know brazilian and portuguese people speak the same language.That basically means that there is no difference.there are differences - more than from English spoken in the US and UK. The way they commonly call a young lady for example is the same word we use for a bitch or not reputable woman (although we don't use it commonly).The structure of course is the same, but in terms of vocabulary - as expected for a language that isn't internationally used as English is- it has many different words used for the same thing and the same word used for completely different meanings.Now as for Spanish and Portuguese I'd say it's same between German and English? The former are Latin languages, they have a lot of words that are similarly written, as the latter as anglo-saxons share the same, but grammar rules tend to differ. So while many, many words share the root (there are plenty of false cognates too), the way it's spoken and used differs considerable - although imo Portuguese and Spanish are the closest latin languages (compared to French and Italian).

Dion 2,476 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Summarizing and adding a bit of information to what @Barbara has said: the difference between european portuguese and brazilian portuguese is slightly bigger than between british english and american english. But the difference between portuguese and spanish is smaller than between english and dutch or english and german. Portuguese and spanish are similar enough that you are usually able to make yourself understood to each other.European portuguese stands somewhere between brazilian portuguese and spanish. The speed and accent they speak in Portugal resembles a lot the way spanish is spoken whereas brazilian portuguese is much slower paced - however, vocabulary and phrasal structure between both are quite similar. There are funny differences though. Like @Barb said the way they call girls in Portugal means bitch/hooker/prostitute in brazilian portuguese. And when portuguese people ask for bread they're actually asking for a small dick in brazilian portuguese.@Ainsley Harriott, já provaste um cacetinho brasileiro, ora pois?

Dion 2,476 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I found out a few weeks ago that in Bahia they also call pão cacetinho. LolSome people also call it cacetinho in the RS apparently. I've lived there and can't recall anyone calling it cacetinho though. I also think whenever brazilians use cacetinho, they say "pão cacetinho" whereas in Portugal it is only "cacetinho" or "baguette" from what I understood.

Popular Post! Namika 922 Posted July 25, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted July 25, 2014 ‘When you look at the profile of the player, it’s not just about the physical profile or the tactical profile,’ says Mourinho. ‘It’s also the psychological profile. I have known Diego since he was 17 and he went to Portugal. Life was not easy for him.‘He has always to fight a lot to do things. In Portugal, he was a Braga player but it was a good team. He had to go on loan to a championship team to be back to Braga.‘Then Atletico Madrid bought him but, after that, he went to Celta Vigo because Atletico had (Sergio) Aguero.‘Then he had to go to Rayo Vallecano because Atletico had (Radamel) Falcao. He came back to Atletico when Falcao went.‘At Atletico he had to make people forget Aguero and Falcao. Without them (last season) they won the title and reached the Champions League final. But the guy had to fight a lot to arrive there, so I think he is the kind of guy who is afraid of nothing and ready for everything.’Costa arrived at Chelsea ‘thanks to his legs and to his heart’, says Mourinho. ‘That’s what he said to me,’ the manager explains. ‘He’s been given nothing for free.’The striker has, however, been blessed with talent. The kind of talent Mourinho describes with infectious enthusiasm.‘It is easy to see a big, strong guy using his body, attacking spaces, holding up the ball and pressing people,’ he says. ‘But, with proper football eyes, the guy is much more than that. The movement is incredible, the intelligence is amazing, the choices he makes in terms of movement are fantastic.‘The guy is a real top striker. I can say that because I’ve known him for a long time. Even the older players with us — Ivanovic, Terry — they say it’s fantastic that he’s coming because he is so strong. 'They say he is good in the air but, after three or four days of training, they change their opinion. They say he is much better than that. They thought about his physical presence, but he is much more than that.’Mourinho is happy to compare him to Drogba because he is confident Costa will prove himself every bit as successful. In certain areas perhaps he will prove even better.‘Didier is still better than him in the air,’ he says. ‘Costa is good in air, Didier is super good.‘But Diego is more powerful than Didier when attacking spaces. And he arrives with more experience at the highest level. When Didier joined us, he was playing in the French league, having played just a couple of matches with Marseille in the Champions League. He was not even playing in World Cups with the Ivory Coast. ‘Diego is made. Physically, mentally, Diego is an end-product. The Premier League is difficult and he knows; he is ready.‘To play with the Chelsea responsibilities and pressure, he knows and he is ready, too.‘During the whole season, the first away goal one of my strikers scored was at Southampton, on New Year’s Day. So, from August until the end of December, my strikers didn’t score away. This is the situation. Will it be a problem for Diego to play at Palace or Stoke? Not at all. I think they will be the matches he will most enjoy.’ Kieran., The Skipper, stroey and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meetdoscar 335 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Lol at the bolded part. Well he is first choice alright. I hope to see Costa, drogba and lukaku score brilliant headers especially against defensive teams, we haven't had that from our strikers in the torres era.

bababoom 4,478 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Jose pointed it out, he's not just a big 'Andy Carroll' esque striker, obviously Costa is much better with the ball but he's also very smart without it, his movement is what excites me the most though, how long has it been since we've had a proper striker who makes smart runs? Feels like forever. Also after reading what Jose had to say re Costa, I believe this guy will be a massive success here, can't wait for the season to start.
