In English, the pronunciation of the word 'Portuguese' is the following: POUR-tchoo-geese. So it sounds like the combination of three actual words in English: the verb 'pour', the 'tchoo' of the 'atchoo' sound of sneezing, and the noun 'geese'. In Portuguese, the equivalent word is spelled 'portugues' in regard to a male, and 'portuguesa' in regard to a female. The Portuguese pronunciations are the following: pawh-too-GAYSH; and pawh-too-GAY-zuh. Additionally, there's the form 'portugueses' for a group of males, or a mixed group of males and females; and 'portuguesas' for a group of females. The Portuguese pronunciations are the following: pawh-too-GAY-zeesh; and pawh-too-GAY-zuhsh.
