===Portuguese=== In [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]], ''euro'' has a Portuguese word-ending and thus is used in the singular, with ''euros'' the plural form. ''Cent'', which does not conform to Portuguese word-forming rules, is commonly converted to ''cêntimo'' (singular) and ''cêntimos'' (plural). The term ''cêntimo'' might have been adopted to distinguish it from the fractional value of the ''[[Portuguese escudo]]'', which was called ''centavo''. Pronunciation of ''euro'' in Portuguese is still not standardized: either {{IPA|pt|ˈewɾɔ|}} or {{IPA|pt|ˈewɾu|}}. The latter has the regular final unstressed -''o'' pronunciation, as {{IPA|pt|u|}}, and is more widespread in the north of the country, while the former is more common in the south. ''Euro'', ''cêntimo'' and ''centavo'' are masculine nouns in Portuguese, and as such, "the cents" are translated as ''os cêntimos'' and "those euros" as ''aqueles euros''. In Brazil the pronunciation is {{IPA|pt|ˈewɾu|}} (generally {{IPA|[ˈeu̯ɾu]}} in Rio de Janeiro and further north, as in Portugal, and {{IPA|[ˈeʊ̯ɾʊ]}} in São Paulo and further south and west as well as the places [[Portuguese language#Brazil|where southern Brazilians settled]]) and fractional values are called ''centavos de euro''<ref>[http://g1.globo.com/mundo/noticia/2010/07/euros-cunhados-pelo-vaticano-entram-em-circulacao.html "Euros cunhados pelo Vaticano entram em circulação na Europa"]. ''[[O Globo]]''. Retrieved 12 October 2010</ref> (cents of euro) to differentiate them from [[Brazilian real]] "centavos". Units up to 1000 are colloquially designated as ''paus:'' 50 euros is designated as 50 ''paus''. This name carried over from the escudo.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://24.sapo.pt/opiniao/artigos/quantos-paus-custa-um-euro | title=Quantos paus custa um euro? }}</ref>
