Henry talks some Portugese with Paulo Costa

[Post 2 Decision]

till speaks portugese?

Lived in Brazil for 4 years

Has a kid there

 

[Bangkok ready d1]

thats so shocking...

Well gastelum and cejudo don't really speak portuguese, they speak portunhol, they just use some portuguese words and a bunch of spanish words in the middle since the languages are so similar they can have full conversations by doing such. Till on the other hand does speak legit portuguese, his accent is a bit stronger than cejudo and ccc ( since english phonetics are not even close to portuguese phonetics ) but he is indeed basicaly fluent

They don’t call him Triple Polyglot for nothing

Does Romero also speak Portuguese? He communicated with Costa after the fight. Did they speak Spanish or Portuguese?

They both speak ok English, for how short the conversation was it was probably English.

Romero's coach also joined them, but he doesn't speak English.

They could understand each other well that way?

 

[genecop]

Triple C and Bilingual, what a catch..

Cejudo vs Tito who has p4p bigger head?

 

[Bangkok ready d1]

Yep, if they talk slow you usually can get about 80% of what the other speaker is saying ( in case you speak spanish or portuguese ) but i heard from spanish speakers that portuguese speakers can understand spanish speakers better than vice-versa

Lets give a basic fighter speech to his oponent so you have an idea

English: hey dude you are really good, that was a hard fight congratulations.

Portuguese: ei cara você é muito bom, foi uma luta dificil parabéns

Spanish:
oye tio eres muy bueno, fue una pelea dura, felicidades

The word dura can also be used in the place of dificil in portuguese (hard), althought is not as common, and tio can also be used as cara (dude) although not as common in portuguese ( actually tio would be used as a slang word for dude in portuguese ) so all and all yeah, you can usually guess what the other one is saying if you pay attention and if you know even a little bit of the words that are not cognates in both languages them it gets even easier.

Basic ground n pound at best... i think what we've seen of him is the full package...

 

[mjfan23]

Now we know why Henry and his girl split. I blame natty goat

 

[The Chosen]

To be honest I think he speaks portuguese very well. I saw him teaching wrestling to bjj brazilian fighters ans was awesome. Gastelum and Till they also speak portuguese with confidence.

Cejudo had a Brazilian girlfriend and Till has a Brazilian wife and kids. They can hold their own for sure.

Costa hanging out with world champions and working hard. Tough night for Izzy.

tio in Spanish means uncle, at least in Mexican Spanish. Dude would be like güey(wey), compa, or amigo

Well i just put the portuguese part in the translator for spanish lol, tio also means uncle in portuguese but it can be used as a slang word for dude (although not common ) but yeah still there are a lot of similar words in both languages with similar meanings. Amigo means friend in portuguese so yeah even if yoel called paulo costa amigo than paulo would understand the he was saying dude/friend
