Every other month we’ll pick a different language to spell the words of love. Spelling out words, such as:...or any other word that reminds you of love.
We will provide you the language - and you decide on the word. We’ll offer the ones we mentioned, but feel free to look up and spell something else.
You may spell a word phonetically, if you desire.
DURATION (TWO MONTHS): July 1st - August 31st 2017
For these two months the language is Portuguese . RULES: Decide on a word. Then read books with titles, series names, authors (first or last name), character (first or last name), that begin with letters that correspond to letter of the word you choose. You may ignore the indefinite and definite articles (a, an, the, etc.). “X” and “Z” may be anywhere in the title, author’s name, character’s name, or series name of your book. “Q” and “U” may be the start of any word in the series name, such as with the Carpenter and Quincannon Mysteries or FBI/US Attorney .If you need to know, here is info on how to Add a Book or Bookcover Link.
Special Note: This challenge is inspired by our member, Sandra’s, monthly Hello/Goodbye over in Who's Your Author... but we tweaked it a bit.
About Portuguese from WorldLanguage.com (view spoiler)[Portuguese is the national language of both Portugal and Brazil. With about 10 million speakers in the former and some 160 million in the latter, coupled with speakers in Portuguese colonies in Africa, in the Atlantic, and in Asia, its total number of speakers is over 170 million. in northwesternmost Spain about 3 million people speak a dialect of Portuguese known as Galician.
Portuguese is a Romance language, closely related to, and yet distinctly different from, Spanish. It is softer and less emphatic than Spanish, with a greater variety of vowel sounds, and contains a number of nasal sounds that are completely unknown in Spanish. Words beginning with h in Spanish frequently begin with f in Portuguese (e.g., hijo/filho—son), while words ending in -ción in Spanish generally end in -ção in Portuguese (nación/naऑã—nation). There are a number of words from Arabic in both languages (algodón/algodão—cotton) plus a few peculiar to Portuguese (alfaiate—tailor). Many words are identical in the two languages (mesa—table, flor—flower, lago—lake), but others are completely different (perro/cão—dog, gracias/obrigado—thank you).
The Portuguese of Brazil is slower and more measured than that of Portugal, but the Brazilians and Portuguese communicate with each other without the slightest difficulty. As in British and American English there are occasional differences in vocabulary. The word for "boy" is rapaz in Portugal but moço in Brazil; "girl" is rapariga in Portugal and moça in Brazil. Some Brazilian words are of Indian origin (e.g., abacaxi—pineapp{e). (hide spoiler)]
