I can’t tell difference between Boeing, airbus, or embrayer planes when I fly - as I suspect most others who fly. They all feel amazing and personally floored every time I realize I’m up in the air moving hundreds mph.
- bgee 7y agoembrayer => embraer? Is that a typo or just a different spelling (in Portuguese)?
- mprovost 7y agoPortuguese doesn't have the letter "y"!
- bgee 7y agoha, thanks!
- lagadu 7y agoYes it does, it's part of the new orthographic agreement.
- mprovost 7y agoYes, k, w, and y were added for foreign loan words. Embraer is an abbreviation of "Empresa Brasileira de Aeronáutica" which doesn't contain any foreign words. I wanted to point out that it's unlikely that a native speaker would add a gratuitous "y". It's a common letter in Spanish and most people are surprised that it's not used in Portuguese.
