what the fuck do all the dash marks in spanish and portugese mean

>>211630831 (OP)
It chang̃es the way the letter is pronounced

>>211630831 (OP)
ñ is a different sound than n (like in piñata)
The dashes above the vowels (á é í ó ú) show that the vowels is stressed when you otherwise wouldn't expect it to be (so hablo and habló are pronounced differently)

>>211630831 (OP)
Oh, and in Portuguese: ~ over a vowel means that it's nasal, like "honhonhon" in French.

don't stress over it

the ñ makes banana sound like bananya :3 :3 :3 <3
