Lesson Transcript

Introduction
Eric: Welcome to 3-Minute Portuguese Season 1, Lesson 2 - Greetings and Farewells. In this lesson, you’ll learn what to say to someone when you meet and part in Portuguese.
Body
Eric: Here's the informal way to say 'Hi.' in Portuguese.
Ana: [Normal] Oi
Eric: This expression has only one word meaning 'hi'
Ana: [Normal] oi [Slow] oi
Eric: Listen again to the informal word meaning 'Hi.'
Ana: [Slow] Oi [Normal] Oi
Eric: Ok, now let's take a look at the informal way to say 'Good day.'
Ana: [Normal] Bom dia.
Eric: First is a word meaning 'good'
Ana: [Normal] bom [Slow] bom
Eric: Last is the word meaning 'day'
Ana: [Normal] dia [Slow] dia
Eric: Listen again to the informal phrase meaning 'Good day.'
Ana: [Slow] Bom dia. [Normal] Bom dia.
Eric: Next up is the informal way to say 'See you.'
Ana: [Normal] Até mais.
Eric: First is a word meaning 'until'
Ana: [Normal] até [Slow] até
Eric: Last is the word meaning 'soon,’ or ‘more'
Ana: [Normal] mais [Slow] mais
Eric: Listen again to the informal phrase meaning 'See you.'
Ana: [Slow] Até mais. [Normal] Até mais.
Eric: Finally, here is an informal way to say 'Bye'
Ana: [Normal] Tchau.
Eric: This expression has only one word meaning 'bye'
Ana: [Normal] tchau [Slow] tchau
Eric: Listen again to the informal word meaning 'Bye'
Ana: [Slow] Tchau. [Normal] Tchau.
Cultural Insight
Eric: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight.
Ana: 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.

Outro
Eric: And that’s all for this lesson. Don’t forget to check out the lesson notes, and we’ll see you in the next lesson!
Ana: Tchau!
