      There are 4 defined ‘qualities’ of Portuguese vowels, known as open, close, reduced, and nasal.

      When the vowel has a circumflex over it (^), close quality; with an acute accent over it (´ ), open quality, (usually the acute é is pronounced as more as ‘ay’); a tilde (~) over a vowel has a nasal pronunciation as does the letter m or n after a vowel. When a word ends with a vowel, or starts with an ‘e’, you would normally use the reduced quality unless there is an accent to indicate otherwise. However, an ‘e’ at the end of a word, followed by a vowel at the start of the next word, normally requires the ‘e’ to become more ‘close’, as the ‘e’ in ‘people’ (this is for ease of articulation).
