Very interesting. I guess this is similar to the "intrusive R" in english speakers (as in, idear) I always wondered why Brazilians would end certain words with “ee.” Very interesting.

It is like us Spanish speakers pronouncing /es/ in words like "spirit" or "stream." I always wandered why Portuguese speakers seemed to have a hard time with English words ending in consonants.

Only wish I had discovered it earlier! This habit of Brazilians to add 'extra' syllables sounds so wonderful to my ears. I'm an American living in Brazil, and I'm always amazed at some of the great words I hear. But I'm curious... I know you try to avoid technical topics, but how do phenomena such as epenthetic vowels occur/grow/begin? Secondly, just a couple days after your very own example, my friend asked me about Walk Talks... rsrsrs I couldn't stop laughing -- and it took forever to convince my friend that I wasn't joking, and that we actually say walkie talkie in English! -nick Absolutely love your podcast.

É uma razão porque eu gosto do português. Também origada pela clarificação de quando pronunciar palavras assim. Eu realmente adoro esse jeito de falar. É uma razão porque eu gosto do português.
