Talk:Encantado

Untitled

Encantado is also a town in Rio Grande do Sul, and there is a link pointing to this article as if it contained information about such town.

Brazilian word

Maybe it's me but I've never heard of the Brazilian language. Shouldn't this article say " a Portuguese word".Bernalj90 01:16, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

It should probably be "Brazilian Portuguese". As far as I'm able to ascertain "encantado" doesn't mean the same thing in Portugal's Portuguese. Synapopyse 00:51, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

First, Encantado means the same thing everywhere. jggouvea 02:39, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

In media

in the show The Wild Thornberry's in the episode titled Only Child aired October 1, 1998 Eliza is afraid that Debbie's new friend is a dolphin dressed as human who then turns into a dolphin at the end of the episode.TwisTedHumoR —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.74.171.27 (talk) 12:32, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Move the Article

I think this article should be moved to "Boto" (as it is this creature the main subject of the article). Another article called "Ecantado" should be started, to include generic material about other types of "enchanted" people of Brazil (the "Boto" is only one, and not even very typical). jggouvea 02:39, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Not correct

It is simply not correct to say that this myth is widespread in Brazil. The word 'encantado' means simply 'charmed' and it is indeed used in greetings, but as far as I know there is no connection with the legend, as the article implies.
