Portuguese pronunciation, added question

[Texas Star]

Would Kurusu or a Brazilian member tell us how the word Sim is pronounced?

Is the m pronounced, or does it sound like the Spanish, Si?

Always wondered...

Thanks.

ALSO:

Pronounce, Senhor. Is the h silent?

 

[Old&Retired]

Pronounced like "seem"
FYI...had a live in Portuguese Son-in-Law.

Thanks. Been wondering since I read Sasha Siemel's books about spearing jaguars in jr. HS.

 

[Texas Star]

I should have thought to ask how to say, Senhor, too.

Is that h pronounced?

I can't get that link to work. I got there, but clicking on the referenced voices, they don't sound.

Are you clicking on the little triangle play buttons off to the left? If so, not sure what's up. Works on my iPad.

Thanks, and a beautiful song.

The word sounds like it does in Spanish.

That's a gorgeous song, Kurusu. The music, the voice, and the lyrics:

Common debate in San Diego is the pronunciation of "Cabrillo."

Is it "ee-yo" (Spanish) or "ill-o" (Portugese) ? Since the namesake was Portugese many use that pronunciation but a goodly portion of our names are Spanish/Mexican so many pronounce the ee-yo.

If you're from back east there's a town called "La Jaw-la."

What's cabrillo? A young goat is, cabrito?

Depending on who you believe he was a Spanish or Portugese explorer.

Juan Rodr'iguez Cabrillo - Wikipedia

A male goat would be a cabron. You'll want to be careful how you use it and with whom.

My favorite word for goat is birria.
