I am portuguese
And the name is Araújo... not Arujo!
shareYap agree... it is badly translated
sharePlus, don't they all pronounce the word "Portugese" wrong?
Everybody says "port-o-gese," but I thought it was "porch-uh-gese."
Am I wrong about this?
When they say "Portagees" (or in the local dialect paw-tuh-geez - hard G not soft such as when Daisy says, "Sure, bring home your poor, dumb Portogee girlfriend...shake up the family a little") they're using a not so nice slang term for Portugese people. Although I'm not Portugese nor do I speak the language I do know that in Italian Portugal is called Portogallo complete with the lovely rolling R's. I'm guessing that when said in Portugese by a native speaker the words for both their country and their language probably sound totally different and much prettier than they do in English.
shareit is in fact correctly pronounced : porch-tchu-geese. They say it wrong as well as other stuff in the movie. I am portuguese by the way.
shareI'm Portuguese too and I always figured that they were saying Portugee in a slang way, not seriously.
Steve Perry's real last name was "Pereira" before he changed it, I guess to be more americanized. I saw a list of famous Portuguese Americans on wikipedia, I was so shocked to see what celebrities were Portuguese or half Portuguese. Nikki Sixx of motley crue, Tom Hanks, Joe Perry of Aerosmith, the guy who played the scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz, Danielle Steel... to name a few. Interesting stuff.
Ray Bolger was part Portuguese? Never knew about Tom Thanks either.
shareMy favorite singer is Portuguese.
Steve Perry, who used to be the lead singer with Journey. They've sucked ever since he left the band.
