Smart people problems :)

Idon't know if there are many phonetic marks in Portugues, in Vietnamese there are 5 additional phonetic marks (beside some additional vowels such as â, ă,  ê, ô, ơ, ư). I know many young people can chat and type without using mark and using just a, e, o, u for corresponding special vowels. It is understandable in most cases. However there are several words which are identical without mark but the meaning are so different (which can fit in the same context). It would cost more gray matter/brain cells and more time to understand sentences without marks. For me it's more respectful for chatting partner if typing with correct grammar and words. 

I'll give you a typical example. We talk a lot about melon as referred to "news". The word melon in Vietnamese is dưa. However, dừa = coconut, dứa = pineapple. So without the correct mark, they are all "dua". and if you type i am eating "dua", the other would be confused.  

In 17th century, a Portuguese Jesuit missionary named Francisco de Pina played important role in development the method to write vietnamese using Latin alphabet. At that time and until early 20th century, the local aristocrats used Chinese letters or "vietnamese-chinese based" letters

Yes, we have 5. The cedilha (ç), the acute accent (á, é, í, ó, ú), the circumflex accent (â, ê, ô), the til (ã, õ), and the crase (à). We used to have another one called trema but the orthographic reform of 2009 removed it from our language.

Some of our acentos have also been removed in certain words. For example, the word idéia is now written as ideia.

People here commit all sorts of atrocities when writing online and messaging each other. They write vc instead of você, and tb instead of também all the time. We can understand the meaning, but I just find it awful. I'm always the old lady who needs to write everything correctly because those abbreviations irk me to no end :D

Anyway, it's a beautiful language, and very hard to learn too.

It's always nice when I read something like this:

Ele é lindoooooo mesmo!!! Ahahahahahahahahahaha
