My late mother in law, a California kindergarten teacher, spoke Portuguese from having lived in Brazil for several years. My wife grew up calling liver "figado" because of that.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

you gotta give this some time as you asked at like 2am on a workday in portugal 😄
What’s wrong with the ones from lemmy.pt?
Nothing, im just curious
hi! I'm Brazilian, for some reason I made my account on lemmy.world a while ago but just now I started actively using it
Oiiieee
I do! And I'm from Portugal
There's dozens of us. Dozens I tell you.
Portugal caralho!
There are some Brazilian instances, pretty sure they speak Portuguese as well. And it's the largest minority in Luxembourg, so chances are that you'll find someone on their instance as well. There's at least one, but I forgot the name.
Some would disagree but yes. Brazilians surely far outnumber Portuguese in Lemmy.
Brazilians are the one of the largest (at least top 5) minority in almost every European country. Brazil is huge and has a very large population, lots of whom have European descent so they can get citizenship. Statistically alone that should give you lots of Brazilian immigrants in Europe, when you combine that with the extreme right getting power there and the crisis they're causing in the economy and you have even more incentive to migrate.
In Luxembourg it's actual Portuguese, not Brazilians.
Ah, from the phrase I thought you meant Brazilians. But I wonder how they measure that, because as far as any census is concerned I'm an Italian living in Spain, when in reality I was born in Argentina.
Also .br?
Ah, I didn’t know that one existed
Yes, there are several Brazilians here, or people like me who've lived in Brazil long enough to speak the language.
I don't speak it super well, but I can get by.
