What does Tudo Bem mean? How to greet people in Portuguese Video Lecture | Learn and Master: Brazilian - Other languages

oil to the day I am Luciana from
street-smart Brazil I often get this
question what does to do bain mean it is
no surprise that this is a popular
question it is the most popular greeting
in Brazil your Brazilian friends and
co-workers likely greet you with to the
bay on a daily basis in this lesson you
will learn powerful pronunciation tips
that will apply to all your Portuguese
journey not just to the words in this
lesson you will learn what exactly to
Dube means and my goal here is to help
you interact with confidence when your
Brazilian friends and colleagues greet
you and you will learn how to answer the
two the Bain question in a very
Brazilian way I'll start with the
pronunciation tips and this like a set
will be useful for all your Brazilian
Portuguese journey when the letter M is
the last letter of a word we do not
close our lips when we pronounce it this
is a very important tip so for the word
Bain pay attention how it sounds don't
even look at the word right now just
close your eyes and hear what I say bang
bang so how does it sound to you how
would you write it in your own language
bang so this is true for every word that
has an M as the last letter or even as
the last letter of a syllable not of the
word necessarily now I have a
pronunciation tip for the word to do and
this tip refers to the first syllable to
do so it I'm going to keep it simple I
just want to make sure if you are a
Spanish speaker that you're not saying
total because it's not how it sounds its
to just simply to
but I also want to give you a tip for
the ending of the world there are two
ways to pronounce this final do in
Brazilian Portuguese some resilience
will say though and it might be more
intuitive to look at it and say doh
but other people will say do and in my
experience it is easier to say the word
correctly if you use the second choice
do this is true whenever you have a word
ending in all without a graphic accent
on the O it means that the O is not the
stronger syllable so in this word the
stronger syllable is to to do to do so
what does to do mean and what does Bane
mean total means everything it means all
and baying means well so the literal
translation of to the Bane is everything
well it really is one of the most common
ways to greet people in Brazil you
simply ask to the bay
it is our equivalent to how are you in
English and it works both in person and
over the phone it works with your
friends and it works with your
colleagues you might be wondering how
about to the bone you might have heard
that before
bone means good so to the bone is
another way to greet people and you're
saying everything good so you see BAE
means well and bone means good just like
in English these two words are not
interchangeable you can use either one
of them in this specific situation of
greetings to the bay to the bone but the
words are not to be used interchangeably
in other situations
and how do you reply to the to the bank
question do you know what you would say
if someone just said a to the bay
the most common way to answer is to
simply say to do you can also say to the
bay and you can be nice and ask back
evil see and you evil see thank you so
much for watching this lesson moon to
obrigada I hope you will have fun
greeting your Brazilian friends ciao
ciao
