About the Publisher

Pronouncing Portuguese

Portuguese is much easier to read than to speak. However, the pronunciation guide used in this book gives as accurate a guide as possible to the sounds of the language. The syllable to be stressed is printed in bold. Note that in conversation words tend to run together.

Vowels (a, e, i, o, u)

vowel | example | pronunciation | sounds like
a | saco | sah-koo | as in father
fama | fumuh | hum
fica | feekuh | about
e | terra | terr-uh | terror
enorme | eh-norm | ehenquire
especial | eesh-pessyahl | happy
de | duh | about
i | fica | feekuh | police
médico | medeekoo | happy
o | cobra | koh-bruh | all
homem | omayñ | au pair
vaso | vah-zoo | boot
u | luvas | loovush | boot

Notes:

The article a sounds like uh (as in the), unless stressed, i.e. à (ah).

e can sound like ay, e.g. fecho (fayshoo), but tends to be silent at the end of words, e.g. pode (pod) unless stressed, e.g. bebé (be-be). The word e (meaning and) always sounds like ee.

The article o and the letter o at the end of words always sound like oo.

Vowel combinations

ai | mais | mysh
ei | peixe | paysh
oi | coisa | koy-zuh
ou | outro | oh-troo

Nasal vowels

Vowels with a tilde ~ or followed by m or n in the same syllable should be pronounced nasally (letting air out through the nose as well as the mouth), as in French. We have represented this sound in the pronunciation by ñ, e.g.

tem = tayñ | com = koñ | um = ooñ
pão = powñ | manhã = mun-yañ | põe = poyñ

Other letters

| example | pronunciation | sounds like
ç | serviço | serveesoo |
ch | chá | shah |
g | gelo | zhay-loo | as in measure
h |  |  | always silent
j | loja | lozhuh | as in measure
Ih | mulher | mool-yehr |
nh | tenho | ten-yoo |
r/rr |  | always rolled; ‘r’ at beginning of word and double ‘rr’ are forceful and guttural (similar to French ‘r’) |
s | (between vowels) coisa | koy-zuh |
(after vowel and at end of word) está lápis | shtalah-peesh |
x | caixa | ky-shuh |
z | (at end of word) faz | fash |

Top ten tips

1 Use the formal form of address until you are asked to use the familiar form. Wait until you are invited to use first names.

2 There is no official religion, but the population predominantly identifies as Roman Catholic, this being stronger in the north than in the south.

3 It is a legal requirement in Portugal that everyone carries photographic proof of identity at all times.

4 Portuguese people are very proud of their culture, which is different from that of Spain!

5 To hire a car you often have to be at least 21, depending on the car hire company and on the vehicle. Often your driving licence must have been issued at least one year before, and if you are under 25 there may be an extra fee to pay.

6 Portuguese people have a sweet tooth; try some of their specialities such as Toucinho do Céu (heaven’s bacon) and Barriga de Freira (nun’s belly).

7 Most shopping centres are open 7 days a week from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. or in some cases until midnight.

8 There are more than one thousand recipes to cook cod; one of the most famous is Bacalhau à Brás.

9 In restaurants, you have to ask for the bill; it’s considered impolite of the waiter to bring the bill if you haven’t asked for it.

10 Bars and restaurants tend to close on Sundays, except in busy areas such as Lisbon and the Algarve.

Talking to people

Hello/goodbye, yes/no

You will find that Portuguese people are quite formal and will appreciate it if you take the same approach to them as they take towards you.

Polite expressions

There are three forms of address in Portuguese: formal (o senhor/a senhora), semi-formal (você – for both sexes) and informal (tu – for both sexes). Always stick to the formal when addressing older people, or the semi-formal for people of your own age and status, until you are invited to use the informal tu.

Metro

There are now four metro systems in Portugal: Lisbon, Porto, Almada (across the river Tagus) and Mirandela (in the North). Mirandela and Almada are both overground networks. You can buy a monthly season ticket with an ID photo (um passe) or a cartão viva viagem which you can top up. These cards allow you to travel on both metro and bus services.

Train

There are two types of train ticket for all trains: conforto (1st class) and turística (2nd class). On longer trips, where it is advisable to book ahead (reservar lugares), you can book online. The Alfa Pendular is a fast, intercity train and the most expensive. The Intercidades is a fast, long-distance service, and the medium-distance Inter-Regional stops at all the main stations.

Taxi

Taxis in Portugal have an illuminated taxi sign on top and are usually painted beige, but some older ones are still green and black. The driver’s ID and the meter should both be displayed inside the car. There is a fixed tariff starting at €3.25, but increasing to €3.90 after 9 p.m., at weekends, and during holidays. Within the city you can get a standard fare, but outside the city limits you’ll be charged per kilometre, and the driver is entitled to charge for the return fare. You’ll also pay a surcharge if you are travelling with luggage. To ask for a receipt, say Queria uma fatura, por favor. It’s a good idea to ask for this in advance, as you get in the car.

Car hire

Car rental companies in Portugal normally have a minimum age for hiring a car (21, 23 or 25, depending on the company and type of vehicle). Some companies also have a maximum age limit of 75. A small number of companies will rent to drivers under 21, provided they pay a ‘young driver’ surcharge.

There are traditional festivities in June dedicated to the Santos Populares. Saints vary in popularity depending on the location; Santo António (St Anthony) is very popular in Lisbon, and São João (St John) in Porto. A beautiful street parade takes place all over Lisbon, the festivities being seen as a competition between Lisbon’s bairros (neighbourhoods). You’ll find dancing, eating and drinking in the streets of various regions of the city (Bairro Alto, Alfama and Mouraria to name a few).
