No but seriously what is that weird sphere thing on Portugal's flag? Find out! OH and in this episode you get to hear some amazing couples advice from the power team KALEB and JILIAN (Spoiler, it gets a little gross)

I landed in Portugal the morning after the national team won the European championship or something a few years ago. The entire country was in party mode while waiting for the team to land, I've never seen more green and red in my life.

Back in the 70s, when I was stationed with the US Air Force in Germany, I was on vacation in Spain, and thought of taking a short jaunt over to Portugal, but I was tired, it had been a long trip, so I decided to go back to base instead. On THAT day, Portugal had the coup that overthrew Salazar.

Fun fact: Portugese is the 6th most spoken language in the world today

I bought the Portuguese flag months ago in a random store in Canada and I love it

The Spanish city of Ceuta also has that coat of arms, because it was part of Portugal (in fact, it was the first place that Portugal conquered outside the Iberian Peninsula), but in 1640, when Spain and Portugal splat up again, it remained with Spain, and has been part of it ever since.

Finally Portugal 🇵🇹 greetings from brazil 🇧🇷

Man... "Alfonso" is not portuguese. Everyone told you that last time. Portugal never had any king "Alfonso". It is AFONSO. There is no L in it.

The Armillary Sphere is one of the coolest symbols, but it looks so hard to draw

Portuguese speaking countries 🇵🇹 Portugal 🇧🇷 Brazil 🇦🇴 Angola 🇲🇿 Mozambique 🇨🇻 Cabo/Cape Verde 🇸🇹 São Tomé e Principe 🇬🇼 Guinea-Bissau 🇹🇱 Timor-Leste 🇲🇴 Macao

It's Afonso not Alfonso..

I've been waiting for this video for forever! Kudos from Portugal 🇵🇹

I was really hoping those dots were gonna be more shields lol.

Azores islands is in a different time zone

Of course the german identified himself first as an european and sent EU documentation, impossible to be more german than that. :D

Some additional corrections which I also posted to the main video: • 4:03 - it's "Bom Jesus do Monte", not "Com Jesus do Monte" (as a Bracarense, that one really stood out). • 10:35 - it's "mirandês" or "mirandés". "Mirandese" is the English name of the language so it should have been pronounced as an English word (i.e. the same way as "Portuguese") • 13:05 - the Associação Académica de Coimbra was founded, obviously, in Coimbra - not in Porto! Also, as a fan of espresso, Paul - how come you didn't mention it in the episode? We Portuguese take our coffee pretty seriously, as I'm sure you had the chance to taste yourself when you visited ;)

Portugal: I love the sea Norway: Iam the sea

Dear Geography Now Team. Im Martin, i was the guy to send the Marzipan and the Culture and political Information stuff to you. The pronuncing was yeah a good start with the word Land, the rest well... Good was the loud and clear voice. Im happy that the package has arrived well and you liked it. Good wishes to you all, Martin

Eventually we will make them learn: Slovenian uses postalveolar consonants, which makes anyone not used to them confused. For example the "sh" sound is written as "š", "ch" sound as "č" and so forth. "Gašper" in this instance is pronounced as "GA-SH-PER". Could use more examples, but at that point we are training you not to bite your tongues while speaking West Balkan stuff.

Re: German "chocolate" - this is actually the famous Luebecker Marzipan by the probably most famous brand from Luebeck, Niederegger. Luebeck is famous for, among other things, its marzipan and for the medieval gate that Niederegger uses as their logo.

THE BLOOD OF THOSE WHO FIGHT FOR THEIR FREEDOM!!! THE BLOOD OF THOSE WHO FIGHT FOR THEIR FREEDOM!!!

Who's Portuguese? Quem daqui é que é português?

The most Underrated nation in the world

I don’t know about “arigatou”, but the japanese word for bread (pan) undeniably comes from portuguese (pão). There are other examples, but I can’t remember right now

The "click toy" is called a "viewmaster".

You deserve so much more subscribers! 😭

Huge fan of this channel. Was waiting for the portuguese episode for a long time. Thank you. It was magnificent.

Maybe consider doing a part 2 of each country. It'd be cool to see this channel focus on the subnational aspects of countries (provinces/states etc)

The best Flag/Fan Friday for the best episode of Geography Now!

Dude your funny!! I'm Portuguese by the way but live in Canada. Love Portugal!!❤

Outstanding video. Thank you so much for showing the original Portuguese flag.

*You guys are awesome!* Most of the things you teach your audience is pretty accurate!

very authentic german from kaleb, wouldn't have been able to tell the difference greetings from austria :)

2:07 admit it, that's what everyone is waiting for :)

Thanks for your work about Portugal 👍 it's a great job 👍

Absolutely loved Portugal episode😀

Rename Flag/Fan Friday. Flan Friday

"belgium makes it better" *belgian happiness noises

I don’t usually watch Geografanmail, but I’m glad I did today. Funny! I think I’ll watch more often🤔

been waiting for this episode like ages ago bro my country good vid

Don't get it why these videos have less views than the others. I love them greets from Freiburg/Germany🇩🇪👌🏽

the word arigato does not originate from Portuguese. But glass in Japanese is a Portuguese word. we say "vidro", Japanese says something similar like "vitro" and also the word cake in Portuguese is "bolo" which is very similar to the Japanese word for cake. We were also the first to arrive japan and founded the city of Nagasaki. We are the oldest and truest nation-state. And yes with have a friendly rivalry with Spain, however our biggest enemies during the empire days were the dutch which stole a lot of our colonies during the Iberian union. This is one of the reasons why we fought the independence against Spain. We only lost our independence once during our existence, for 60 years, to the Iberian union. You guys at geography now actually did a good job explaining some stuff. But again nothing is better than to visit the country and enjoy your time with the locals if you really want to know more. Thanks for the video of Portugal

This makes me think of "Sheldon Cooper presents Sheldon Cooper's Fun with Flags" ahahha awesome!

Great Guys!! Thanks

It’s 5am here in Kentucky, but I don’t care! I’m going to watch this video

Our flag represents the blattles against the moors: read about the reconquista. It's an intrinsic part of what it means to be Portuguese.

Casper, the friendly ghost, is actually called "Gasparzinho" in Portuguese (Brazil).

actually the red means The Blood of Who die defending Portugal

Kaleb is honesty my favorite from the geography now team. He has such a natural charm. Also he and Jillian are couple goals

Love geography now from Dubai.🇦🇪🇮🇳🇵🇰

Love your vid

11:04 Yeah I just understood "Das Landsgericht"

the dots can't be the silver pieces of judas iscariot because the number of judas' silver is 30 pieces while we only have 25

At 10:20, the joke Paul tells, the manner that he cracks it and Kaleb's reaction... I can certainly believe that you two have been room mates.

That German bubble wrap reminds me of freezies too. 🤣

when they were trying german chocolates and barbs said belgium makes it better then kaleb says it'll start a war? uh yea pretty sure thats quite accurate

BARB IS SO MEEE WHEN IM BETWEEN COUPLES LMAO!

This is the first time i wach a video 33 seconds after the stream

Hey, Barbs. Can you please explain the cantons of Switzerland for Filler Week?

Cuando tienes examen de Portugues, pero solo sabes decir *"SIIIUUUU"⚽️*

"Manchester is one upping other cities" *Dies laughing* Was a fan btw lmao

HECK, YE-AH!! HAPPY FRIDAY, Y’ALL!!!!

What do you guys do with all those fan letters/items? You guys should open a museum with all that stuff.

As time pass, Barbs cares less an less about the mistakes and topics that weren't part of the video

Just wanted to add a information about the blue shields inside the white shield . Basically it can also represent the Miracle of Ourique (wich is connected to the 5 muslim kings) . The miracle of ourique is a history made by the people of that time saying that the angle of portugal appeared in front of Afonso Henriques (1st king of Portugal) before the Battle of Ourique has a messenger saying that if he hears the bell of the closest chapel to go away from the camp where Portuguese troops where and when he did that he saw jesus in the cross saying that he would watch after him and his peers and that he would win the battle of ourique against the moors . And after that "happened" the next day Afonso Henriques won the battle and killed the 5 muslim kings and became the 1st King of Portugal .

Looks like it's almost Romania time. I'd really like to help with that one

Ok, that was pretty funny, thanks guys

It's a Viewmaster. Not a kaleidoscope x)

sees United scarf - *Screams in Man City.

*History curiosity:* Portugal was one of the countries that resisted Napoleonic innovations. Napoleon launched a continental blockade order, where no european country could negotiate with the United Kingdom, in order to make it weaker and so Napoleon could invade UK way easier. But Portugal refuse that order because of both countries being so strong allies. So Napoleon got mad and tried to invade and occupy Portugal three times, and he failed all of them, which led him to give up Portugal and go attack Russia, which also refuse that order. (something that also went horribly wrong).

the word you were looking for was, VIEWMASTER. That's the toy.

me: sees thumbnail me 1 sec later: * Sad Portuguese noises *

Viva Portugal Caralho!!!! Lusitânia Eterna! 💙💛💚❤ From Brazil.

You're evil Barbs :D Loved it.

"under gunfire" is the new "uphill both ways"

There is no real dispute over the origin of 'arigatou', we have writings from centuries before Europeans came to Japan which use the word.

I love portugal and cristiano respect from croatia

how much for the scarf?

I have been waiting since the South Korea one, Romania feels so close now! Also does anybody know how to get in contact with them, as I have lived in romania for a few decades and I think I could provide some insight

Paul, Portuguese people don't think arigatou came from obrigado. It doesn't. It's not disputed. Do you really think Japanese didn't have a word for thank you before the 16th century? Arigatou and other conjugations of the word appear in medieval Japanese writing, as far back as the Heian era of the 1100s. Please fix your spread of misinformation. This is not a tiny mistake.

It’s getting close to Zimbabwe. What you going to do after that?

Oh damn this one was surprisingly personal to me. I did a Fulbright in Uzbekistan last year (and am late to sending you your first Uzbekistan postcard - it's sitting at home because I forgot to send it last year :((( ), and I was accepted to peace corps in Armenia last year! (But turned it down for Uzbekistan hehe)

10:00 Hey! Where'd you get the Iroquois/Haudenosaunee flag from? No love for the people of the longhouse?

im not first im not last but when this guy Uploads I click fast

Jogo Do Pau! Our own martial art!

As I was about to go to bed... luckily it's the weekends

Cool my free post card from that app really arrived. Thomas from Germany.

That's a pretty bad and even disrespectful description of one of the most beautiful and meaningful flags in the world.

Arigatō is 100% confirmed to be a native Japanese word It isn't derived from Obrigado

Barbs just laughing 😂

The armillary sphere was actually part of the Portuguese crown since the king Manuel I, because it was his personal code of arms (he was not supposed to be king, so he has personal arms)

Dark (Negative) side of Portugal:Corruption everywhere, minimum salary of the EU and lack of social helps, like in the antic Roman empire BREAD AND Games (Football)!

FC Porto from 2002-2004 under José Mourinho was without a doubt the best Portuguese Team of all time. They've won 2 national Championships, 1 national Cup, the Europa League title and Champions League title back to back and even the Club WM. In other words, they've won everything. It would be nice to see if the Portuguese clubs could get back to the top of Europe in the future. Greetings from Germany!

Barby, the transparent postcard is a diapositive, you're supposed to put it near a lamp to project the picture against a white wall.

Love Portugal

Arigato is a Japanese word without any connection to Portuguese. Unlike copo restaurante etcetc. But Arigato has no connection to obrigado.

Este comentário faz com que os estrangeiros pensar que estou a dizer uma coisa inteligente.

this ep made me cry laughing thx

Will you do Tibet?
