Let’s see some greetings in Brazilian Portuguese. I divided them into three groups. Soon I will post a video where you can hear them and practice the correct pronunciation.
Hi!
Tchau!
Bye!
Olá!
Hello!
Até mais!
See you later!
Até logo!
See you soon!
Good Morning!
Boa tarde!
Good Afternoon!
Boa Noite!
Good Evening!
Now let’s see how this basic expressions can be applied in a conversation with your Brazilian Portuguese tutor at the beginning and at the end of a class. I usually keep dialogues formal with students so they can learn the hardest part first. But not too formal, so we’ll be using some expressions of the middle group, those that can be used in both contexts.
This expressions are important to be learned and memorized so you will be able to speak Brazilian Portuguese since the beginning of your online course. The best way to do this is to repeat them loud time and again, imagining the situation. Writing them down is also useful.
-Bom dia. Tudo bem e você?
-Tudo bem.
-Como vai o estudo?
-Estudei os verbos.
-Muito bem!
-Good Morning. How are you doing?
-Good Morning. It’s all fine. How about you?
-All fine.
-How is the study going?
-I studied the verbs.
-Very good!
Now let's see how to say good bye in a basic Brazilian Portuguese dialogue.
-Tenha uma boa semana.
-Obrigado, boa semana para você também. Até logo!
-Até logo!
-Have a nice week!
-Thank you! Have a nice week too. See you soon!
-See you soon.
