We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

Man I love cognates. I don't know a lick of Portuguese but I understood 95% of that because its basically the same in Spanish
A few months back I happened to bump in to a wonderful artist from Porto.
Posted a small collection of his work here:

Is that true? The article doesn't provide any reference to support that claim and the Portuguese Wikipedia only has a very brief mention at the 9th paragraph that it's also known by that name, but nothing about being its official name.
Google the phrase a number of documents and travel blogs come up suggesting it's a real thing. Also this reddit thread which you can translate from portuguese to learn the hiatory of why
This might just be a case of english speaking wiki writiers being lazy when it comes to foreign place articles.
"Because during the 'Liberal Wars' it suffered several sieges and was never taken, and it ended up being a very important starting point for the victory of Dom Pedro IV, who intended to secure the throne for Queen Maria II, who later bestowed the title of 'Ancient, very noble, always loyal, and Invicta (Unvanquished)' upon the city of Porto."
If it was real it would say so on a single government page, and yet no page does.
These guys have nothing on Krung Thep Maha Nakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udom Ratchaniwet Maha Sathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit.

Sure. Your place or mine?
Undefeated
Between 714 and 716, Porto came under Muslim control following the Umayyad conquest of Hispania.
Portugal didn't exist yet. That happened in 1143.
Someone just vandalized the page. That’s the city’s motto, not its name.

And they even discuss this in the Reddit TIL from last year. https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/1m4cocb/til_that_the_official_name_of_porto_portugal_is/
This is going to be what I name my first child.
Ah yes, The Wisest, The Boldest, The Proudest, The Undefeated Mark - he hasn't been in good shape for a while, and his family dumped him because of the addictions, but now he's back to his mom's to think it through, you know
(Sniff) Make me proud, son!
Exceedingly long names. My most favoured of all things notable and memorable in the linguistic tradition.
And fortified dessert wine!
