Definition: Portuguese is an international language spoken in Portugal (also known as "Portugal"), France, Madeira, and the Canary Islands. It is not a native language of many other countries. In Portuguese culture, it is used for greetings, idioms, phrases, and expressions that are specific to the Portuguese-speaking world, such as "festa", "casa", "vila", and "pessoa". The language has its own rich vocabulary with about 20,000 words. The word "Portuguese" itself is a mix of Latin roots which indicate it's an older language, but the current usage may be from the 15th century. It also contains the French root "-so-," which means "to sound". The root "-so-" translates to "sound", and the "-o-" part is related to the origin of words in Portuguese. In its general form, it can refer to: -a portuguesa (a woman or a person speaking Portuguese), -a portuense, -a Português (French), -a Português/Português (French or Portuguese), and -a Português/Portugés (English). It is also used in other languages like Spanish and Italian. It's important to note that it's not just the language but its culture, history, customs, traditions, etc. which can be reflected in this word.
