| 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. |
