I think is Portuguese, in English one word means a lot of things, in romance language have many words for one thing.

I believe that English has more words, due to the fact that it was a great joining of languages from the Latinate and Germanic families.
However, any native speaker of English and any native speaker of Portuguese of about the same age probably know approximately the same number of words.

Probably English, since our language has become a collection of words from many different languages.
Additionally, with new words (such as bootylicious) popping up in our dictionaries all the time, it's growing in leaps and bounds.

No. i believe you purely desire some thousand words for extremely fluent English. (around 3,000-5,000). Even community audio equipment don't be responsive to that many words. those 540,000 words are customarily obscure words or technical words that are purely clever to somebody of a particular field.
