| Hi, everybody! I’m Paloma from PortuguesePod101.com. |
| Do you know how to say “thank you” in Portuguese? In this lesson, you'll learn three different ways to say "thank you" and how to respond. |
| Let’s start with the easiest one. |
| Obrigado. |
| [slowly] Obrigado. |
| It means “thank you.” Note that this is a masculine form. |
| For a female speaker, there is another phrase. |
| Obrigada. |
| [slowly] Obrigada. |
| It means “thank you." This is a feminine form. |
| When a phrase ends with 'a,' it's usually a feminine version. |
| To sound like a pro, you can also add the reason why you're thankfu;. For example, Obrigada por ligar-me. |
| “Thank you for calling me." |
| What if you really appreciate something? Here's the way to express it. |
| Muito obrigado. |
| [slowly] Muito obrigado. |
| It means “thank you very much.” |
| Now you know 3 different ways to say "thank you" in Portuguese! But how do you respond if someone thanks you? |
| If someone says "thank you" in Portuguese, simply say De nada. It means "no problem!" |
| Let's wrap up this lesson by recapping what we've learned. Listen to the expression and repeat after me. |

| In Brazil, when someone offers you something and you say Obrigado, it means you don't want what is offered. It's something like "thank you for the offer, but I don't want whatever you're giving me." So make sure to use Obrigado carefully. |
