Why Portuguese names trip up English speakers
- -nh- is a ‘ny’ sound — Vitinha → vee-TEE-nyah, Marquinhos → mar-KEE-nyohs.
- Brazilian R at the start of a word is an H — Rodrygo → hoh-DREE-goh, Raphinha → hah-FEE-nyuh.
- Nasal endings (-ão, -ães) have no clean English match; Americans land on a plain ‘own’/‘ines’ — Leão → lee-OW.
- -s between vowels is a ‘z’, and j / -di- lean toward ‘zh’ — Júnior → ZHOO-nyor.
