This means both “so what?” and “what’s up?”

-Essa pizza deve ter muitas calorias. That pizza must have a lot of calories.

2. Pois é

This literally means, “well, yeah,” but is used in a negative context, so can also mean “yes, unfortunately.”

-Pois é! Yeah, unfortunately.



3. Ainda bem

This means “just as well,” or “well, thank goodness!”

ETIQUETE: TABLE MANERS

When learning a language, it’s just as important to learn about the culture so that you can apply your language skills in a respectful way. Today, we’re going to learn about table manners in Brazil, Portugal, Angola or other countries where Portuguese is spoken.

• Do not talk with food in your mouth. It is considered extremely rude.
• Try not to make noise when eating, as it may make people around you uncomfortable.
• In more formal settings, do not place your elbows on the table.
• It’s common to say “bom apetite” before you begin to eat.
• Use the fork in your left hand and the knife in your right hand.
• Use your utensils for all types of food, even pizza, sandwiches, and French fries. Food is very rarely eaten with bare hands, since it is considered unhygienic to do so.
• If you do decide to eat food with your hands, wrap it in a napkin so your fingers aren’t touching it.
• Do not cut with your fork, and be sure to rest the utensils on your plate if not using them.
• After every sip you take of your drink, wipe your mouth on your napkin. If you forget, at least try to wipe your mouth several times throughout the meal.
• Keep both hands above the table.
• Do not drink directly from a bottle or a can. Always pour your drink into a glass.
• When offered food, say “yes, thank you,” or offer a polite excuse as to not offend the person.
• Absolutely never belch at the table, and be subtle about sneezing and coughing (be sure to cover your face with your hands). If you have to blow your nose, leave the table and go to the bathroom.
• Toothpicks can be used at the table, but behind your hand or a napkin.

I hope this can be useful.

Até breve!
