Translation tips
Brazilian vs. European Portuguese — real differences
Brazilian Portuguese differs from European Portuguese more than American differs from British English. Different pronouns (você vs tu), gerund usage (estou fazendo vs estou a fazer), and thousands of vocabulary differences (ônibus vs autocarro). DeepL outputs Brazilian Portuguese (PT-BR).
Gerund is standard in Brazil
Brazilian Portuguese uses gerunds naturally: 'Estou trabalhando' (I'm working). European Portuguese uses 'a + infinitive' instead: 'Estou a trabalhar.' The gerund form is what Brazilians expect — using the European construction sounds foreign in Brazil.
Accent marks indicate stress and openness
Portuguese accent marks are mandatory and meaningful: 'avó' (grandmother, open o) vs 'avô' (grandfather, closed o), 'é' (is) vs 'e' (and). The circumflex (^) and acute (´) accents indicate vowel quality, not just stress. DeepL places them all correctly.
Personal infinitive — unique to Portuguese
Portuguese is one of the only languages with a personal infinitive — an infinitive form that conjugates for person: 'para eu fazer' (for me to do), 'para eles fazerem' (for them to do). This structure doesn't exist in Spanish or English, making it a key quality marker.
Did you know? Portuguese is the most spoken language in the Southern Hemisphere — Brazil alone has 210 million speakers, making it larger than all other Portuguese-speaking countries combined by a factor of 10.
