*English*	*Portuguese*	*Pronunciation/Notes*

Hello	Olá	Olah – This is quite an informal greeting.

How are you? (formal)	Como está?	Komu eshta? – You often say things differently depending on whether you are speaking formally or informally. Speak formally to people you meet for the first time, people older than you, or as a general sign of respect.

How are you? (informal)	Como estás?	Komu eshtazh? – This is the informal variation, which is only used with people you know well, family members, children, or people significantly younger than yourself.

I’m OK, thank you.	Estou bem, obrigado/a	Eshtoh baym[ng], Obrigahdu/a – lit. “I am well, thank you.” This is perhaps the most common response to the above question. For ‘thank you’, men say ‘obrigado’, women say ‘obrigada’ (regardless of whether the person they are talking to is male or female).*

I am fine	Estou óptimo/a	Eshtoh ohtimu/a – note that the ‘p’ in ‘optimo’ (fine) is virtually silent (the Brazilians spell it without a ‘p’). Again, whether to use ‘optimo’ or ‘optima’ depends on your own gender.

Is everything OK?	Tudo bem?	Toodu baym[ng]? – lit. “everything well?” Note: This is probably the most common greeting in Portuguese - it is used much more frequently than 'como está?'.

Yes (everything is ok)	Tudo [bem]	Toodu – lit. “everything [well].” The ‘bem’ is optional when replying to the above question.

Not too bad	Mais ou menos	Myze oh menush – lit. “more or less.” Use this response if you want to indicate that you are a little ‘under the weather’.

Pleased to meet you	Prazer	Prazair – lit. “pleasure.”

Very pleased to meet you	Muito prazer	M[ng]wee[ng]tu Prazair – lit. “much pleasure.” The word ‘muito’ has a very nasal sound, which kind of breaks the rules of pronunciation! Sometimes it can sound more like ‘moitu’, depending on the accent of the speaker.

Good Morning	Bom dia	Bom[ng] deeya – lit. “Good day” – a slightly more formal greeting than Olá – generally used up until about 1pm.

Good Afternoon	Boa tarde	Boa tarde (after about 1pm)

Good Evening	Boa noite	Boa noite – note that the same word, noite, is used for both evening and night. Switch from saying ‘boa tarde’ to ‘boa noite’ around sunset.

Good Night	Boa noite	Boa noite

Note: You can mix Olá with bom dia, boa tarde, boa noite to make another fairly informal greeting (eg. Olá, bom dia)

Goodbye	Adeus	Adayush – lit. “To God”. Note that you can use bom dia, boa tarde, and boa noite to say goodbye as well.

‘Seeya’	Tchau	Chow – this is a Brazilian expression, but is widely used by Portuguese as well.

See you later (same day)	Até logo	Atay logu – lit. “until straight away”, which doesn’t really make sense, but then neither do a lot of things in Portuguese!

See you later (another day)	Até amanhã	Atay aman[ng]yah – lit. “until tomorrow” – used even if you won’t actually see the person for a few days.

See you soon (very soon)	Até já	Atay zhah – lit. “until already” – you get the idea!

See you next time	Até a próxima	Atay a prossima

Yes	Sim	Sim[ng]

No	Não	Now[ng] – can also mean ‘not’.

Please	Se faz favor	Se fazh favor – often shortened to ‘faz favor’
	Por favor	Por favor - another alternative

Thank you	Obrigado	Obrigahdu – only said by males
	Obrigada	Obrigahda – only said by females

Thank you very much	Muito obrigado/a	M[ng]wee[ng]tu Obrigahdu/a

*Re: Obrigado/obrigada: In some regions, particularly the Algarve, it is common for both men and women to use both obrigado and obrigada - switching between them depending on the gender of the person they are talking to. This is technically incorrect because the word 'obrigado' is an adjective which is describing the person speaking - it literally means 'obliged'.

Many native Portuguese speakers are unaware of this, and they will sometimes insist that the choice of word depends on the person you are speaking to, and that it would be considered rude for a man to say 'obrigado' to a woman. However, I would strongly recommend that you stick to the 'correct' way of speaking - men only say 'obrigado', women only say 'obrigada' - unless you happen to live in a region where the locals will be offended by this!
