Cardoso Visit?

[Carnac]

Kamilla Cardoso it is.

Thanks.

 

[eebmg]

That sounds like something you need either dramamine or penicillin for. I hereby reject that one.

Cardosi ?

 

[bramos]

Cardosi ?

Is everybody done now? Let's check all the vowels ..a..e..i..o..u..sometimes y. Hurry First Night. The Brazilian Nuts are on the prowl..

You almost have to be Brazilian (Brasileiro) to get comfortable with this stuff... but here are a few odds and ends to add to the confusion. (Uma verdadeira bagunça.) [a veritible shambles/a genuine mess]

1. She has first name, Kamilla. Many Brazilian celebrities, in sports, music, even politics, go by their first name only. That works, and Kamilla shouldn't cause much further argument, even here.

2. Usually, but not always, the first of a string of last names in Brazil is the mother'surname, in this case Soares. Some Brazilian sports journals call her Kamilla Soares.

3. It's more common in Brazil to use the second family name, the patronymic or father's last name, Cardoso in this case.

4. She has yet another "last name", Silva, perhaps the single most common last name in the country. It probably comes from the father's side of the family, but not necessarily.

If your eyes haven't started doing counter-rotating loops yet, we shall now get into the weeds:

a. Cardosa is a fairly common last name in Brazil, Portugal, and various Spanish speaking countries.
b. The same is true of Cardoso.
c. These are two distinct names. João Felipe Cardoso would not be confused with
a person with the same first name and middle name but the last name Cardosa.
d. The foreign press is apt to ignore the distinction, and screw things up with fair frequency

Here comes the fun part—if pronunciation is your idea of fun. In Portugal, the young lady's patronymic would sound something like Car doe zo, with the emphasis on the second syllable. In Brazil, however, a final letter "o" has a u sound, like the double o in 'boom'. Hence, in Brazilian Portuguese, it's Car doe zu.

Oh! The letter "r" is rhotic, or pronounced when it's in the middle of a word, so
no British or Bostonian cahh. Nope, it is car with a spoken r. When the letter r comes at the beginning of a Brazilian word, all bets are off, as it's pronounced as if it were an American English h. Thus rápido (rapid, speedy, fast) in São Paulo sounds like Hah pee doo. For a final indignity to your tired eyes and ears, in Portugal it's Rap pee dough.

So it is entirely up to you. All of the following are valid somewhere, at least after sunset.

Kamilla
Kamilla Cardoso
Kamilla Soares
Kamilla Soares Cardoso
Kamilla Soares Cardoso Silva.

Invalid, but in use in some quarters:
Kamilla Silva
Kamilla Cardosa

Você e Carioca? Paulista? Bahiano?

If she commits, we'll be measuring the length of her name in Hartley Units.

 

[Cuango]

If you take the time to reread what @Sifaka wrote, you will see that the "Brasil" spelling is something @Geosfun was requesting of the UConn staff. Sifaka was pointing out that the young lady might be at least as impressed with the correct spelling of her name as with the "correct" spelling of her country. So perhaps Sifaka is less pedantic than you are overly censorious.

Unbelievable!

I just know while cooking today I went straight to Basil. If that means anything..

When deciding on a spice, going to Basil is sage advice.

 

[Charliebball]

no need to worry about spelling or pronunciation.....................everybody knows she's way too tall at 6'7" to sign with UConn........................

Did you know that in Braz(s)il, “wow” is spelled “wow”.? Or maybe it izn’t.

I agree with Bamo Fan and Coca Husky.

If anyone on twitter wants to know: ask Keisha Hunt (AAU and HS Coach) she will answer pretty much any question lol.

Canadian?

Brazil, eh?

 

[CL82]

Is everybody done now?

Not quite:

 

[JordyG]

Who says you can't have it both ways?

 

[meyers7]

Well one good thing is, if she commits to UCONN, her name won't be on her jersey anyway.

At least we doesn't have to call her Johnson.

 

[soxfan23]

We can close this thread down, Cardosa will NOT be visiting UConn according to her coach Keisha Hunt!

Well i guess we got our answer. The only other player we know UConn is interest in is Edwards.

As much as I like Edwards as a player, I think UConn may be done for 2020.

Like I said.

 

[soxfan23]

Like I said.

It makes sense, Cardosa would most likely not start until her junior year at the earliest playing behind Nelson-Ododa. The addition of Gabriel only added more competition for minutes and not many kids want to wait that long for a guaranteed starting job. I can see UConn waiting until 2021 and making a big push for a big with some more versatility like DeBerry. Somebody that can step out and play the 4 alongside Gabriel at the 5 in a BIG lineup.

I disagree with most of that. KC would get minutes as a freshmen and likely be a starter as a sophomore given the current state of the UCONN roster. ONO can be that big versatile forward starting alongside KC.
