Q & A

  • What is the main topic discussed in the script?

    -The main topic discussed in the script is the new orthographic agreement for the Portuguese language, its history, and the changes it introduced.

  • Why was the new orthographic agreement for Portuguese created?

    -The new orthographic agreement was created to standardize the writing system across different Portuguese-speaking countries, preventing the language from fragmenting into multiple languages due to regional variations.

  • When was the agreement initially made and when did it become mandatory?

    -The agreement was made in 1990 and signed in 1998, with a 10-year period for implementation in basic education, making it mandatory from 2009 onwards.

  • Which countries were involved in creating the new orthographic agreement?

    -The agreement was created through discussions between Portugal and Brazil, the two largest Portuguese-speaking countries.

  • What changes did the new agreement bring to the Portuguese alphabet?

    -The new agreement added the letters 'k', 'y', and 'w' to the Portuguese alphabet, increasing the total number of letters from 23 to 26.

  • Why were the letters 'k', 'y', and 'w' added to the Portuguese alphabet?

    -These letters were added to reflect the evolution of the language and to include words of foreign origin that were becoming more common in Portuguese.

  • What is the function of the trema (diaeresis) in Portuguese orthography, and what change did the new agreement bring to its usage?

    -The trema is used to indicate that two vowels should be pronounced separately. The new agreement removed the trema in certain words, such as 'tranquilo' and 'linguiça', where it is no longer written but the pronunciation remains the same.

  • How did the new agreement affect the use of accent marks in Portuguese?

    -The new agreement removed accent marks from certain words, such as 'para' and 'joia', where they were previously used to differentiate between verb and preposition forms or to indicate paroxytone words.

  • What is the rule regarding the use of circumflex accents on words with double vowels in the new orthography?

    -In the new orthography, the circumflex accent is no longer used on words with double vowels, such as 'voo' and 'leem', simplifying the writing system.

  • Can you provide an example of a word where the new orthography changed the use of the circumflex accent due to the presence of a diphthong?

    -Yes, the word 'ideia' used to have a circumflex accent on the 'i' because it was a paroxytone word with 'ei' as a diphthong. In the new orthography, the accent is removed.

  • What is the 'iato' rule in Portuguese orthography, and how did the new agreement modify it?

    -The 'iato' rule states that when 'i' or 'u' are alone in the second vowel of a diphthong, they are accented. The new agreement modified this rule by removing the accent when a diphthong precedes an 'iato' where 'u' is alone in the second syllable, as in the word 'feiúra'.
