With the "ão" sounds, for instance: we pronounce "pão" like "pom" or "não" as "num", depending on context: "Eu não sabia que ias querer pão" becomes "Eu num sabia q'ias q'rer pom". It's a pretty weird accent, I guess xd | |

But I reckon it's harder to understand what we're saying if you're unfamiliar with the language. Plus, I think it doesn't help that accents in Portugal are, in my opinion, a bit more "harsh", closed and less melodical than Brazilian Portuguese, which probably makes us even harder to be understood, even when we're not cutting out vowels, hence the frustration | |
