No, it means you are Portuguese. The Portuguese language is somewhat similar to Spanish, but it is not Spanish. It kind of sounds like a broken version of Spanish. Many Portuguese people can understand Spanish but it's more difficult the other way around. There was definitely Spanish influence in the language, but it doesn't mean you are Spanish.

You are the nationality of the country where you were born. Your ethnic background is Portuguese. The language is similiar to Spanish and French, but Portugal is its own country.

well lambada is a brazilian dance and arriba is spanish meaning up or top so it means TOP LATIN LAMBADA lambada is a fast, sensual Brazilian dance for couples or groups, typically performed with the stomachs touching. The dance became internationally popular in the 1980s. The exact origin of the dance is in Brazil and has forerunners such as the forró, sayas, the maxixe, and the carimbó.

Portugese people are from Portugal. Look at a map of Europe and you'll be able to find out exactly geographically. It's perfectly fine for you to ask this - you're not silly.

I don't believe so. Portuguese people are from Portugal. The languages are similar but not the same.
