omgee another Portuguese person, I'm Portuguese too! and verme is parasite worms...lol.

I think it's pronounced Ver-Meh too.

at least in Portuguese, it is!

I would think the first choice, with an Italian accent.

No. 1 ----Italian

I can tell you that it is for sure a Portuguese word, and it means 'worm'.
The pronunciation in European Portuguese is as follows:
VER - MEH
The first 'e' is open and it is read in the same way as in 'met'.
The second one is silent.

Note: In Brazilian Portuguese the pronunciation is different.
