Do Brazilians consider even Portuguese people to be gringos?

Answer 1

The correct answer is No.The term "gringo" goes back in the 17th century when the expression "it is in Greek" was used to refer to what could not be understood.Portuguese people were and continued to

be called simply Portuguese in Brasil.The term "gringo" is the result of the

"deformation" of the word Greek. It started in the Hispanic countries first and them brought to Brasil. In my classes you will have fun learning interesting facts in our culture and language!
