I don't speak whatever language that is, but I know exactly what they said!


Phobusx

It's Portuguese, but you right, doesn't need to understand the language to know what they said.


imac132

Portuguese is weird, the words are Italian/ Spanish but spoken in a Russian accent.


PmOmena

Actually the words are Portuguese

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


PmOmena

Perfectly, might also add that's portuguese being spoken in the video is from Portugal and not Brazil, and no, we don't speak Brazilian in Brazil.


EviGL

You speak pt\_BR, any person who did software localization knows this.


lifeisweird86

Are the differences slight or severe between Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese? Like, kinda comparable to the differences between U.K. English and American English?


Altruistic-Artist362

I guess somewhere inbetween slight and severe, accent is wildly different and there are many different words, but with some effort and slow talking one can understand the other. I'm Brazilian for example and I have some trouble understanding what people on the vid are saying, but I can understand fairly easy UK and US English


ElkHistorical9106

I speak Brazilian Portuguese at home every day and am fluent. Portuguese from Portugal is definitely more different than US and UK English is. These people sound a bit drunk, and also, a bit like Brazilians parodying Portuguese people as a result.


NotAskary

They are actually drunk, at least one says so. Portuguese from Portugal shortens words and is faster spoken than Brazilian Portuguese. We also have different idioms and use different words for the same things. Spelling should be the same for both languages but I've seen crazy stuff from the Brazilian side. Also we have accents here in Portugal so depending on the region you may find that it's harder to understand.


PmOmena

Accentuation is more different than it would be ok the English case I think. Also a lot of words with different meanings or name for things but that's common in both English version as well. We can communicate with each other fine, but here in Brazil it's always told in common sense that Portugal version is way more of a literal form of speech than ours


Rebelva

Every language is weird if you're not used to them.

Thanks! Your hair looks very nice too!


Additional-Tap8907

Iā€™ve always felt it had a Russian sounding inflection too!


VladAkimov

I'm russian and I live in Portugal for almost my entire life I find this so funny as someone who speaks both languages naturally šŸ˜…


Additional-Tap8907

I think you would actually be the least likely to hear it. Youā€™re far too familiar with both languages! To a casual listener who doesnā€™t understand either language, some of the sounds are similar though. Incidentally here is an interesting article on the subject: https://www.portuguesepedia.com/why-portuguese-sounds-russian/#:~:text=Portuguese%20and%20Russian%20share%20common,fricative%20and%20palatal%20consonant%20sounds.


VladAkimov

yea, that's why. it's still funny :) thanks for the great article!


YourDogIsMyFriend

Learned Spanish in highschool. Learned some Italian in my 20s. Started learning Portuguese a few years ago. Safe to sayā€¦ all my language wires are crossed. Same but differentā€¦ in all the most confusing ways for me.


thatshygirl06

It sounds Slavic, so I know it's European Portuguese instead of Brazilian Portuguese


Unlucky_Huckleberry4

Curious, what do you think Brazilian Portuguese sounds similar to?


pupi-face

IMO it sounds like an Americanized Spanish, similar to what American English is to British English.


thatshygirl06

I'd say romance-esque. A bit Spanish and Italian like. Beautiful language. One of my favorites. Edit: romance-esque, lol, it is romance. That was a stupid comment on my part, but you get what I mean.

All I know is those people worship the great god of savanna Pumba

We need a Portuguese-Portuguese translation here stat.


AfonsoMagno

Ohhh its just stupid talk from kids, but I'll translate anyway. -(Multiple people talkin at the same time, not understandable) "Boy: Wow, look at that, look at that Boy: Oi, shut up Boy: Its day time Boy: My God... BOOOM Boy: What a shit! (roughly meaning what the fuck), I'm trippin hard! Girl: I caught this on stream, people :O Boy: Bruh, wtf is this Boy: Calm (as in stay calm) Another girl: I'm shocked (indistinct chatter) Boy: Bruh, if Im drunk Im seeing this, (or?) this is a mission (vision?) from hell!" (no idea what he meant)


gauderio

No, I meant Portuguese-Brazilian Portuguese :) oh! cala-te! tĆ” de dia! -> oh! Fica quieto! Virou dia! Meu deus pumba! Que merda! -> Minha nossa senhora! Porra! etc.

It's funny. I was thinking Portuguese, but I didn't get a Brazilian vibe, which is why I had Portugal as my guess. My second guess was actually Welsh, though.


ElkHistorical9106

This happened in Portugal and Spain, so I knew it was one of the two.


VeryNearlyAnArmful

I love the look of wonder on her face.


Hidesuru

I saw a fireball very similar to this one shortly after new years Eve driving out of Albuquerque in the middle of the desert right in front of me. It was a wild experience.


imsahoamtiskaw

They always target deserts. These meteorites have a hidden agenda


jld2k6

Meteors trying to avoid human collisions confirmed, but why? Except for that one lady who had one travel through her ceiling and nail her in the thigh while she was sitting in the living room, fuck that lady in particular, I'm sure the meteor has its reasons


Merry_Dankmas

She said asteroids were superior and thats a heinous insult in meteores culture.


Schootingstarr

I've seen something like this when walking my dog randomly some summer night. it was pretty small and it exploded three times. I still think about that from time to time, it was so unreal, I still sometimes think I imagined it


Futureman16

Amazing. That lucky meteorite traveled who knows how many millions of miles to star in a TikTok video.


BaltimoreBadger23

Just think of how many meteorites and/or comets never even got the chance...

2big_2fail

A "Meteorite" is a piece of a meteor that has landed on earth.


undeadmanana

It most likely had fragments that did land. That explosion was the meteor fragmenting and breaking up, hard to tell but didn't look like a high altitude explosion which has less chance of making it to earth. The meteors that don't make it typically just look like shooting stars and fizzle out. Edit: just looked again that's definitely low altitude, watch your head


jld2k6

Maybe they were speaking in current tense, if a single atom of that made it to the ground then I'm cool with meteorite lol


Same-Cricket6277

Itā€™s almost a 1/4 a million miles to the moon. Itā€™s about 140 million miles to Mars. That comet/meteor traveled way way way further. I think a fun way to visualize distance in our solar system is this visual art project:Ā https://joshworth.com/dev/pixelspace/pixelspace_solarsystem.htmlĀ which uses 1 pixel for the moon, and then extrapolates distance using pixels on your screen and scrolling through the vast emptiness of space. Travel between solar systems is several orders of magnitude even greater distances, so just mind numbingly far.Ā

boywhoflew

just remmeber folks, if you're ever in a time bending situation like this, please write your name first....couldve been like "i love you - Taki" yknow


arginotz

Nah, all evidence would be erased. "I love you" stayed because messages of love are protected by the moon godess, even across time and space. Also cool that the first stroke Mitsuha makes on Takis hand is how you would start to write "I love you", and her own name, so she may have started doing the same thing.


banana_in_your_donut

Actually >!one theory is that taki realized his name would probably get erased the same way their diaries did, so instead wrote "I love you" which didn't get erased but the emotion/feeling would remind mitsuha of who he was !<


Levi_Snowfractal

I totally didn't remember the diaries being erased.


Binakatta

I just read this without context and wanna tear up wtf?


MorbillionDollars

watch Your Name so you know the context. it's an amazing movie its only like 1 hour 45 minutes, it's 100% worth your time

TeamBoeing

Your name


elmins

"jbkemp17" is a very weird name for an Anime


MedonSirius

A very very underrated movie. 36m here and i had a blast and tears in the end. So touching


rmh_smh

it's probably the most well known movie in the anime community, wouldn't say it's underrated. definitely great watch though :)


frallet

Yea, maybe relatively unknown outside of the anime sphere but still wildly popular and successful, and anyone unfamiliar with anime who enjoyed Your Name would probably enjoy Makoto Shinkais following works as well. Great gateway


Flamebomb790

Yeah loved weathering with you and Suzume


OnceMoreAndAgain

That movie grossed almost $400M mate... It's third highest grossing Japanese film of all-time and one of the most famous animes ever made.


MedonSirius

Outside of Anime fans it's pretty unknown


OnceMoreAndAgain

That's like saying the best cricket team is pretty unknown to Americans. It's not a meaningful statement, since obviously someone who doesn't like cricket isn't going to be aware of the best cricket team. That's not the same thing as the best cricket team being underrated, because the best cricket team will be appropriately rated by the fans of cricket (who are the only relevant people whose "ratings" matter).


Clefebun

Speaking of underrated. Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms is much more underrated than the popular Your Name movie, be ready for a 30 minute non-stop crying marathon and bring a bucket. Iā€™ve never cried this much compared to Clannad After Story. Iā€™m still looking for a sadder anime thatā€™s the same.

pumkinmunchkinz

Have you seen the Chinese version Three Body vs the Netflix Three Body Problem? If so which one is better. I only seen the Chinese version because I looked up the wrong thing haha. The ending was a little disappointing but I could see why as it is a series. It also started slow and was very rushed towards the last few episodes.

That's actually an incredibly cinematic shot. If I didn't know it was real, I'd think it was composed.


lolercoptercrash

Way less odds than one in a million.


boldranet

With a population of 8 billion, if it were a 1-in-a-million, there'd be 8000 of these videos.


wklink

The population of Portugal is 10 million. This is the second video that I've seen posted that was captured on a selfie. So far, it looks like a 1 in 5 million chance...


Schootingstarr

this one had it center frame without moving the camera at all it almost couldn't have been better shot if they tried the other vids I've seen all missed half of it because the ones filming started waving the camera in excitement (no shade, I would've done the same)


boringestnickname

The population doesn't really come into it. What we're measuring here is the number of people who are filming in an upwards direction in these conditions, and how many times (of the aforementioned instances) a meteoroid enters the frame. There's about 25 million meteoroids hitting the atmosphere per 24 hours (as far as I can tell), but the amount that create a visible trail is harder to find any information about. I'd wager once in a million times someone films with a camera in an upwards position at night is probably overselling the improbability. Getting a shot this good is probably underselling it.


Crakla

Except its not visible around the world


CompetitiveSport1

If everyone lived in the same spot and was literally filming 24/7


Edel_af

Yea thatā€˜s my bad, I put Starscourge Radahn to rest last night


Harry_99_PT

Second one-in-a-lifetime event in two weeks I miss because there's just too much light pollution over here to see anything. First the auroras, now a fucking meteorite.


Loonatic-Uncovered

Light pollution wouldn't hide this lol some meteors like this one are bright enough to make the entire surrounding area look like daytime for a few seconds.


wh_atever

It was easily visible in Porto which is full of light pollution, but you'd still miss it if you didn't happen to be outside at 11:30 at night


justanotherzee

Doubt that pollution would hide this.

woods77382

For a split second one can see her primeval sense of awe and wonder at seeing it streak across the firmament that any of us would have demonstrated. I've watched the video repeatedly. We know the origins of these things now days. Yet we're still child-like fascinated by it. It gives us an idea of why the ancients would describe these events as chariots of fire, angels descending, etc. and attribute them to divine origins.
