Have you ever noticed how the formal language we learn in school can be different from the way we talk with our friends? Instead of saying, “Hi, nice to meet you”, we may greet a friend by saying, “Hey, whatsup?”. Even though slang gets a bad rep, it’s something most of us can’t avoid.<\/span><\/p>\n

Portuguese is no different. There’s the formal side and the informal (aka slang) side. If you want to sound like a native speaker, it’s a good idea to learn how to speak informally, like most Portuguese do.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this article, we’ll go over some of the most common Portuguese slang that you can add to your vocabulary (remember, use them wisely).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Portuguese Slang<\/b><\/h2>\n

Greetings<\/strong>
\nThese greetings are good to know when you meet up with your friends or close family members.<\/p>\n

\nO que voc\u00ea conta? <\/b>– <\/span>What\u2019s new with you?<\/span><\/i>
\nEstou! <\/b>– <\/span>Meaning \u201cI am\u201d, that\u2019s how Portuguese people answer the phone. Brazilians say <\/span><\/i>Al\u00f4.<\/b><\/p>\n
