Review

Category:History of Portugal: lots to remove there
Template:Regions of Portugal: statistical (NUTS3) subregions and intercommunal entities are confused; they are not the same in all regions, and should be sublisted separately in each region: intermunicipal entities are sometimes larger and split by subregions (e.g. the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon has two subregions), some intercommunal entities are containing only parts of subregions. All subregions should be listed explicitly and not assume they are only intermunicipal entities (which accessorily are not statistic subdivisions but real administrative entities, so they should be listed below, probably using a smaller font: we can safely eliminate the subgrouping by type of intermunicipal entity from this box).

"Deletar" as Porglish?

It should be observed that [i]deletar[/i] (to delete/to erase) is [b]not[/b] Porglish, or English borrowing; it's a Latin word ([i]deletare[/i]) re-borrowed in XV or XVI century to the language.

And, although the word was revived because of English, and got some semantic specialization ([i]apagar[/i], far more common, is used in non-electronic contexts, while [i]deletar[/i] in eletronics), it doesn't count as Porglish for being already a Portuguese word.

-- Actually the wiktionary says "delete" comes from "delere", which makes sense, since english often uses the supine as the root to its latin verbs.

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/delete

However, I must agree that portuguese has words like "deletério" whose root also come from "delere", although I can't agree that "deletar" doesn't count as Porglish.

Where did you take that verbs list from?

As a native brazilian portuguese speaker, I have never (NEVER!) heard of some of those words. Ok, "espreiar", "loadear", "eslaidar" and "deletar" are perfectly ok, but I have never expected (and would find it weird, to say the least) to hear "dar um suit", "bizado" or "vacuumar"?

I though maybe the list should have a "[citation needed]" there or something similar.

Vaulttech (talk) 01:23, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think anyone would use words like "espreiar", "loadear" or eslaidar seriously. I never heard any of them. I've heard someone saying "escrolar", though. Generally, in Portuguese we don't make verbs out of every noun like they do in English. Instead we use some kind of auxiliar, like: "passar spray", "fazer download", "virar o slide", "falar no chat", "dar um boot", "passar o mop" and so on. Real English verbs, on the other hand, tend to become their own verbs in Portuguese: "mutar" (to mute), "dropar" (to drop), "kickar" (to kick), "plotar" (to plot), and so on. 2804:5394:10AD:9700:24C4:8E7E:57A4:49F1 (talk) 07:57, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
