Things about the Portuguese climate that are hard to explain to anyone not familiar with it: inside my department it's so cold that you need to wear a winter coat. Meanwhile, some 10 km from here, my gf is sunbathing at the beach in her bikini. The only difference? The sun.

Spain is already having a major wildfire - and it’s just March. Of course the public have little idea of what is happening to us because the media can’t see past Donald Trump, Boris Johnson or Gwyneth Paltrow’s skiing trip. Brace yourself for 2023

The written law says pedestrians have priority on pedestrian crossings. The unwritten law says that priority is a favor that generous drivers who are so inclined bestow upon the lowly pedestrian. But if they aren't so inclined, and you dare claim your priority, you're dead meat.

At the time of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands (1815-1830), there were two major dividing lines: one religious, the other linguistic. When Belgium seceded, NL was left with the religious divide and BE with the linguistic one. The former was resolved but the latter wasn't.

It's not an illogical connection, given that the Indonesian word for sun is "matahari", literally "eye of the day".
Súil is the Irish word for 'eye'.
However, at a prehistoric point, the word used to mean 'sun', developing its later meaning through metaphor.
It's part of a big family of 'sun'-words, which also includes Latin sōl, Ancient Greek hḗlios, Russian solnce and Welsh haul.

Couple things worth pointing out here:
- Portuguese and Romanian words for 'I' are both 'eu'.
- Dumneavoastra, with 'dumnea' deriving from Latin dominus, is quite literally the same thing as 'vos senhores', better known, in its contracted form, as 'você'.
Many of the personal pronouns (I, you, etc.) of Romanian will look familiar if you know some Italian, French or Portuguese.
The ones that may be new are the long, polite forms that start with dumnea-.
These aren't too unfamiliar though - they come from Latin dominus 'master'.

The name of the Portuguese city of Braga is likely etymologically related to the Dutch word 'broek' (pants). The name of the city comes from the Celtic tribe Bracari, which were in turn named after the 'braca', shorts, they wore. That's also the likely origin of the Dutch word.
