You can use oi anytime of the day in a more informal context. To be more formal, it's better to
say "good morning" which is bom dia, "good afternoon" which is boa tarde or "good evening"
which is boa noite. But these three greetings can of course be used in casual situations too.

hear brigado instead of obrigado. Remember that "thank you" in Portuguese has both
masculine and feminine forms – obrigado and obrigada.

CULTURAL INSIGHT

In Brazil, asking how someone is right after greeting them is pretty common. Brazilians like to
talk about what’s going on with them at the moment, especially elder ladies, so it can be a
great conversation starter. Brazilians are pretty open and even talk about their negative
experiences or about why they don't feel very well at the moment.

Word 3 setenta centavos. seventy cents

CULTURAL INSIGHT

When you go shopping in Brazil, you’ll notice that the cashier won’t give small change like 2
or 3 cents. It’s because in Brazil, one cent coins are not used anymore. Instead, they round up
or down to a number that ends in 0 or 5. For example, if you buy something that costs 1 real
and 98 cents, you probably won’t receive any change if you give 2 reals to the cashier. If the
price is 2 reals and 42 cents, the cashier will return 60 cents if you give him 3 reals.

Often, Brazilians will add the word que in a question. For example, O que você está fazendo?
would be O que que você está fazendo?
It’s a very natural way of asking questions in Brazil. To sound even more casual, you can also
shorten the word está down to tá, so it’ll be O que que você tá fazendo?

CULTURAL INSIGHT

If the verb following the question gives an idea of movement, like the verb “to go”, you can
also use the word Aonde. Aonde is the combination of the preposition a plus onde. For
example, you can say Aonde você foi ontem? which means “Where did you go yesterday?”

In Rio de Janeiro, you’ll probably hear the verb quebrar instead of virar, also meaning "to
turn.” So the sentence would be Quebrar à direita, meaning “Turn right.”

CULTURAL INSIGHT

If you want to sound really natural when asking if someone has something, because you
need to borrow it or you are looking for it in a store, you can use the words Será que.

Here’s an example -
Será que você tem um lápis preto? It literally means “I wonder if you have a black pencil?”
You just add Será que at the beginning of the sentence. It makes the whole sentence sound
like a question, and it’s a little bit less direct.

CULTURAL INSIGHT

Sometimes Brazilians use many negative words in the same sentence to mean that you are
not or don’t have something. For example, Eu não tenho nada literally means "I don't have
nothing." But you can’t use it to mean “I have something.” Like in English, double negatives
actually retain the negative meaning in Portuguese.

CULTURAL INSIGHT

When someone invites you over to their house for a meal, it's okay to let them know if you
don't like or you can't have a type of food. Especially if you're vegetarian, it's better to let them
know beforehand, since usually meals in Brazil contain some kind of meat.

CULTURAL INSIGHT

In Brazil, tipping is not common. Restaurant bills usually include a 10% service charge, which
goes to the waiters. There are some restaurants that don't charge you the 10%. In this case,
it's up to you to leave a tip for your server.

CULTURAL INSIGHT

Brazilian people like to hang out with many friends. If you know someone who lives in a
house with a backyard and a pool, then there’s a big chance that you’ll go to a party there.
Don't be shy if someone asks you to hang out despite having just met. They just want to be
friendly and get to know you better.

Back when everyone was still using landline phones, people would answer the phone by
saying their name, or their family name. But nowadays the majority of households rely solely
on mobile phones, and therefore people can usually see on the phone who is calling. Thus,
names are no longer said out loud, when answering the phone in Brazil. Most often people
will answer the phone by saying Alô meaning "Hello" when answering the phone.
