Italians: do you find Portuguese or Romanian easier to understand?

[Tooting Carmen]

Fun fact: italians and the portuguese also share the 25th of april as a date that marked the end of dictatorial regimes in both countries

25th of april 1945: Giorno della Liberazione

25th of april 1974: Carnation Revolution

What happened?

They ceased our war efforts (we were winning in all fronts and the situation was controlled) and gave independence to the colonies forcing hundreds of thousand of Portuguese that were living in there for generations and had never step a foot in Portugal to return. As a result, every single former oversea territory in Africa was overtaken by pro-Soviet political parties and were thrown into bloody civil wars (that in some cases lasted for more than three decades).

The irony is that Portugal was a relatively impoverished rural country whereas the territories overseas had great living standards. We invested a lot in the modernization and development of Africa only to be taken away from us but also the natives, who were deprived from it after the independence and had to witness the destruction and collapse of everything afterwards due to the civil wars and guerrillas that emerged after they got their independence.

No,1943 is the year Mussolini was kicked out of government by the Gran Consiglio del Fascismo and then arrested....in the same year an armistice was signed with the Allies but Mussolini was freed by the germans and he founded the Republic of Salò in the north of Italy,supported by the germans who invaded Italy from the north.....the civil war officially started: Partisans(Democrats,monarchists,socialists,liberal s and communists) vs fascists of Salò and germans.

The Allies arrived in Sicily in 1943 and it took them 2 years to get to the north of the peninsula,and the 25th of april 1945 is the day when Milano was freed(if i remember well ).

I tried to be brief but failed

I knew about that, both were kind of fascist regimes (very nuanced in Portugal).

I find European Portuguese accent somewhat similar to neapolitan on many words.

Yeah,italy was the core of fascism(unfortunately)


I think that the similarity with neapolitan is mainly when it comes to singular articles,they're the same

A dark day in our history, I personally do not celebrate it. What our traitorous rulers did to millions of Portuguese in the former overseas territories should be considered a crime against humanity if we did not live in the world of the politically correct.

The day per se was not that bad, the transition to democracy should happen sooner or later, the problem is what came next with a bunch of traitors wrecking the legacy of many generations and attempting a communist revolution.

I don't celebrated it either, even makes want to throw up Everytime I see those same old mummies at the oficial ceremonies. Fortunately they are almost all dead or dying...may they rotten in hell, filhos da puta.

I'd imagine Italians can understand Portuguese better. Romanian is more slavic influenced given its geographic location, and so it is more distant.
