| 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 |
