The 1000 most common Portuguese words
Português (Brasil) · ranked by frequency · with English translations
Portuguese is the language of some 260 million people: Brazil above all, then Portugal, Angola, Mozambique and several smaller nations. This list follows Brazilian usage, which is what the overwhelming majority of learners will meet and hear.
Portuguese looks like Spanish on the page and sounds nothing like it. The vowels are the work: nasal ones that English has no equivalent for, and unstressed ones that reduce almost to nothing. Learn the words with their gender, and be careful with the false friends that Spanish gives you for free and Portuguese takes back — exquisito is not esquisito, which means strange.
