| Oi, Meu nome é Paloma. |
| Hi everybody! I’m Paloma. |
| Welcome to PortuguesePod101.com’s Português em três minutos. The fastest, easiest, and most fun way to learn Portuguese. |
| In the last lesson, we learned how to introduce ourselves in Portuguese. As good manners are must everywhere, today we are going to learn how to thank people. |
| Vocês estão prontos? Are you ready? Vamos começar, then let’s start! |
| There are several ways to thank someone. Let's start with the most common phrase: |
| Obrigado. |
| [slowly] Obrigado. |
| Obrigado means “thank you”. |
| To say "thank you very much," you just need to add muito in the beginning: |
| Muito obrigado. |
| [slowly] Muito obrigado. |
| Muito means "a lot." So Muito obrigado is like saying “Thank you very much." |
| In the last lesson we saw that Portuguese words may vary according to gender. You say obrigado if you are a man. If you are a woman, you should say obrigada. |
| [slowly] obrigada. |
| When someone thanks you, how should you answer? There are a few things you can say. |
| The first is: |
| De nada. |
| [slowly] De nada. |
| This means "It’s nothing." You're telling the person that it’s nothing worth thanking you for. |
| There is another phrase that's often used to mean "You're welcome" in Portuguese: |
| Disponha. |
| It means “welcome” in English, but it’s not used as often as De nada. |
| Time for another quiz. What do you say in these situations? |
| Muito obrigada. |
| Muito obrigado. |
| De nada. |
| Now it’s time for Paloma’s point. |
| In Brazil we sometimes cut words when we are talking. For example, it’s very common to hear brigado instead of obrigado. |
| Don’t get confused between brigado that means “fight” and brigado “thank you”! |
| Do you know what Tudo bem means? In our next lesson you’ll learn this and more other greetings in Portuguese! Até a próxima! |
