1. "OBRIGADO (A )": Pronounced "oh-bree-GAH-doo is the official word for Thank You which men use to say. For women : " oh-bree-GAH-dah". How ever, given the casual way Brazilians speak Portuguese, you rarely hear all the syllables in the enunciated word. Most people often drop the inicial " O " , by simply saying "brigado (a)".
2. "PÃO DE QUEIJO" : Pronounced "pow-jee-KAY-zhoo, this cheese bread is made from cassava flour usually eaten together with a cup of coffee. Very much popular in the whole country .
3." ONDE FICA....?" :(pronounced OWN-djee-FEE-ka) means Where is…? and can be used in the following ways: Onde fica o banheiro? (Where is the bathroom?); Onde fica o metrô? (Where is the subway?); Onde fica o estádio? (Where is the stadium?); Onde fica o hotel? (Where’s the hotel?); Onde fica o aeroporto? (Where’s the airport?); Onde fica um lugar bom pra ver a natação sincronizada? (Where’s a good place to watch synchronized swimming?).
4. “NOSSA !” – from “Nossa Senhora” (Our Lady). Can be also seen as “Nó!“,“Nooooooh!”, “Nossss” and “Nó Senhora!” and indicates amazement or astonishment.
e.g. Nossa, what a car!
5. "E AÍ, BELEZA ?" : "E aí, Beleza?" ( ee-ah-EE-beh-LEZ-za),they're asking you how you’re doing, but with incredible local Rio flavor. Literally, the phrase translates to and there, beauty?, a pleasant combination of words in itself, but it is understood to mean What’s up?, with a tinge of hope that all’s well in your life.
Try not to use this greeting after an event in which the Brazilian national team loses; the answer will be an unequivocal NÃO !
