The last time I checked Brazil and other Latin American countries are in the Western Hemisphere so therefore westerners. 👀

​@@caesarroe1283 technically you are right but in sports western countries usually referred to European countries to differentiate among other groups of people especially ethnicity.

@Armstrong La Borde Technically? You mean you can't tell the cardinal coordinates? Western Hemisphere cannot be changed to accommodate your bias opinion about what is and what isn't its a fact . And yes Latin American countries are also westerners they have a Latin language that started in ancient Rome which I turn out to be European and many Latin American countries share many western-european things such as language, food and customs more so than any other countries that you could mentioned.

@@caesarroe1283 I can't understand your argument since I agree with you that the western hemisphere incorporate the American continent; that is why I said you are technically correct. However, when we talk about the western influence, we are talking about the influence that the European countries have on the western hemisphere. So in sports namely football and other disciplines, for differential purposes among the regions and groups of people, they incorrectly use the term Western to mean the European countries of the western hemisphere.

@Armstrong La Borde football have been invented since the mayans were around almost a millenia ago the British as you know know made the rules even the Japanese can make a claim to invented football aka soccer Kemari is how Japanese called this sport and it was introduced between 700 to 1200 AC mathematics were invented in the middle east ,but China and Mexico both have valid claims about this when it comes to structures and engineering the pioneer were Indian and Egyptians even Akkadiams so tell me what is it the you don't get? You made it sound like the world was invented yesterday even the first rifles use TnT which was invented in Asia and if you are talking about moderns stuff other countries such as Latin American countries can make a claim but you need to read more.

What about Hulk

Your right, or 10 silva 😂

Yeah I think this is the actual reason. 1 they often have so many names that you can't use all of them and 2 there's a few very common last names

You're wrong about Brazilian last names variety.

Pedantismo puro, mas a ilha de Paquetá não está logo fora da costa do Rio, está no "fundo" da baia de Guanabara. As ilhas costeiras do Rio são as Cagaras

@@fmac6441 não é necessário ser especifico aqui, não acha? Estou me referindo a origem do apelido dele, não a posição geográfica da ilha. É uma ilha próxima a cidade do RJ, pronto.

@@VictorMontel sem dúvida, eu pensei em escrever o mesmo quando o vi como exemplo de jogador com "sobrenome" Como disse, pedantismo puro, você está certíssimo, camarada!

Uma curiosidade: ISso de atribuir o lugar que ela vem como “sobrenome” já foi comum na Europa. Leonardo Da Vinci ficou conhecido assim porque ele era o Leonardo da Vila Da Vanci na Toscana

That’s fuckin awesome

Essa eu n sabia kkk

Thanks for sharing this

O QUE? Kkkkkkkkkk nem dessa eu sabia

porra falando merda, ele realmente vem d ilha de paqueta mas o nome dele é sim Lucas Paqueta

It isn't. It's quite common for Portuguese people and Portuguese players to use their first and family name. Rather uncommon for Portuguese players to adopt a nickname, if you think about most professional players out there, you'll realize you know the first and family name for 90% of them.

Not from their friends, its gained from the older people

That is correct

Aka Pele

Who is she?

All faxts

It's "Silva", the "Da" is like an introduction, it means "Of" Fun fact : "Silva" means "Selva", which in portuguese means "Forest" Example : Neymar of Forest Saints Junior 😅 Other common names : Santos, Souza, Oliveira Another Fun fact : There are more than 5 million brazilians with "Silva" in their names

Silva is a very popular last name, lots of Silvas came from Portugal, but also some slaves were given the opportunity to choose their names when they were liberated and Silva was a popular option to "blend in" on Society. Also, both my parents last names were da Silva.

Brazil brought over more African slaves than any other country in the Americas...go figure

@@jacksonsilva4409 my grandma has Santos in her name, another very popular name

Anderson Silva o melhor

that doesn't explain why they use nicknames tho.

​@@FFAFANBOY It is actually because their surname is long and complicated for eg. Casemiro Carlos Henrique or their name is very common for eg. Neymar dos Santos jr, Antony dos Santos. And also if their Father names them after themselves for eg. Neymar's father- Neymar sr. named his son Neymar jr. and same for Vini jr. and Ronaldo jr.

@@Mr.Magcargo I'm talking about nicknames not surnames like Pelé, Hulk , Kaká etc

​@FFAFANBOY In Brazil its very normal to give nicknames brazilians love giving poeple nicknames especially from family and it just sticks and they end up using the nickname for the rest of their lives for example my little brother we never use his real name we only use his nickname that he got as a baby and he plays soccer to and he only goes by his nickname

I swear every Brazilian has “da silva” in their name

You quoted him wrong

Not teachers in america

Wrong quote + not even true

In India we call everyone by first name😂 Calling someone by last name is very rare and usually done by old people or jokingly by a friend

​@@shikharsrivastava4269 bullshit. With friends yes but with strangers (bhaiya,didi) or family you call them by your relation like Chacha, Dada, Mausi, Bua etc. I haven't anyone say the name of the person. It's always like Dadaji, Chachu, Mausi, Dadima etc

😂😂😂

*do Nascimento

@@Subsbench yea srry

But why he was called Pele?

@@TONY-ie3nj I can't remember the full story off the top of my head but it was something like a nickname he had but a friend couldn't say it properly and kept saying Pelé so that nickname stuck even though he didn't like the nickname at the time

@@TONY-ie3nj Maybe it's cause of him mispronouncing his dad's teammate (GK) Bilé...he accidentally said Pele and his bullies start to call him Pele

He’s Mexican and South America is almost touching so

​@@sins7736 that like saying England and Morocco are almost touching

@@brunoalessandrocalero4255 Nah its like saying like spain and morocco not england thats to far

He means Latin America basically

@@Negerbollarmedkokos the southern point Mexico is around 1000 miles away from South America. The UK is about 1000 miles away from Morocco. Spain is only 10 to 15 miles away from Morocco lol

Yea, but always professora or professor before the first name.

Professora SÉRGIO??? shahsuahsuhasuhsha WTF

@@lucasoliveira9834We live in an LGBTQ era. Relax.. 😆

yep, we only use surname's in a place with a lot of peoples with the same name, but its rare, this probably happen's in schools where we find a lot of classmates with the same name

Aqui no Sul é normal, maior parte dos meus amigos chamo pelo sobrenome

​​@lamsharV Não é normal não, pelo menos nao no RS. Sou gaúcha e não chamo meus amigos pelo sobrenome, só vejo chamarem qdo os nomes se repetem. E as vezes ainda metem um apelido baseado no sobrenome. 😂

@@carolinafd aqui em Santa Catarina é normal

o sobrenome vira o apelido

Exactly

But why he was called Pele?

It was just a nickname that kinda stuck, he actually did not like it very much at first.

@@elijensen-mh4zp He did not like it because it prob. had to do with his dark skin and in that time he good not mention that.

​@@TONY-ie3njIt's for a very simple reason actually, when he was a child he was a fan of a goalkeeper from Vasco da Gama (the club he supports), the goalkeeper's name was Belé, but he pronounced the name wrong, calling him "pelé" and it ended up becoming a nickname because of that.

His real name is Edson Arantes Do Nascimiento

I didn't know that. I've read Russian novels and I always wondered why the characters are constantly referred to by their full names.

I realized that reading Dostoievski 😂

@@aluisiomotagodinho7155 think it was a footnote in a day in the life of Ivan dennisovic I learned it from

Well... in Brazil it's pretty normal for people to have 3 family names and a "middle" name, like Ronaldo Augusto da Silva Pereira Santos. Imagine saying that all the time...

Yes, but you could just add the last name 🤷‍♀️ Brazil just has a very informal culture.

​@@carolinafdu r right lady!

They could though, 2 vertically and the other 2 horizontally 😂

4 names? Google "Teresa Cristina full name" 😂 that was the wife of our last emperor

Maicon was named after the American actor Michael Douglas.

Funny thing Arsenal has 3 Brazilians named Gabriel.

We have more "Silva" and "Oliveira" than "Santos".

Shows jorghino first.

What about those who have “Dinho”

South Ameirca is part of the Occident.

Nope in East Asia you use just the last name a lot until you become more familiar

That is not true at all.

so Brazil is in Asia according to your theory

@@lamsharV nope I’m pointing out it is not a “western” thing.

It really is crazy how you mispronounce a goalkeeper's name when you're like 5 and 50 years later "Pele" is the best player in history

Why he was called Pele?

@@TONY-ie3nj Just a nickname that another local unknown player had.

@@rothbardfreedom Pele, means skin in Portuguese. I think in the 50's they called him pele because of his dark skin.

@@TONY-ie3nj His nickname is Pelé, with an accent. Nothing to do with "pele".

@@rothbardfreedom We all know that the Brazilian society can be very racial, special in the football stadiums. I think that they called him pele, later pelé, because of his very black skin, thats why he did not like it either. It was a discriminated act.

Jr is because their fathers name are the same as them their surname is Silva and Santos

edson right ?

Edson

Edson Arantes do Nascimento

Edson nascimenti de arantes no google just fifa

@@danieltragone957 what is it

​@@Post2post121 edson,not edison

There's a Vinicius in Fulham lmao

vinicius is a common name in brazil, neymar not so much

no, there are a lot of people with the same name and in that case we usually call them by their last name, like jesus for gabriel jesus and martinelli for gabriel martinelli, or we use a nickname Christian names are super common here, such as gabriel, Pedro, Lucas, João, these are Bible names and are considered standart names neymar and richarlisson are the weirder names that you don't see a lot of

His dad Neymar Sr. also played in lower leagues

Vinnicius is quite common, Neymar is a completely new name that his father put on him. But when two playera have the same name in a team, one of them will gain a nickname. Ronaldinho got his nickname when he started playing for Brazil national team and Ronaldo Nazario was there.

Os amigos mais proximos de neymar o chamam de juninho

He’s literally Brazilian, Imbituba

In Brazil we differentiate people with the same first name by using a last name. Probably when he started playing there was another Gabriel and the name stuck.
