Okay. Portuguese is insane. I visited my neighbor in the care home yesterday. I asked her how she was doing and she said what sounded like, phonetically, A vee tow. Three syllables. She said it maybe four times because I didn't understand what she was saying and I kept tell her. She slowed down, and spoke louder. A (like the letter A) VEE (like the letter V) and Tow (like tow my car. Or I have 10 toes.)
