Today we’re going to look at some expressions you can use in everyday conversation with friends.
1. E daí?
This means both “so what?” and “what’s up?”
-Essa pizza deve ter muitas calorias. That pizza must have a lot of calories.
-E dai? So what?
2. Pois é
This literally means, “well, yeah,” but is used in a negative context, so can also mean “yes, unfortunately.”
-Sua mãe disse que você tem que fazer o exame de novo.Your mom told me you have to take the college entrance exam again.
-Pois é! Yeah, unfortunately.
3. Ainda bem
This means “just as well,” or “well, thank goodness!”
O furacão não vai passar perto daqui. The hurricane isn’t going to come close to here.
Ainda bem! “Well, thank goodness!”
Até breve!
