In Portuguese "vermelho" is red
I always feel like Portuguese is the romance language that hated their parents and refused to participate in any family activities. Like Latin is in the front seat yelling back "Cur non eritis sicut sorores tuae!" and Portuguese is in the way back going, "Pare de tentar controlar quem eu sou!"
Portuguese is what happens when you let a bunch of drunk sailors create their own language.
Funny because I have literally heard Portuguese called "Drunken Spanish".
