Who says “Obrigado”?

The word for “Thank you” actually depends on YOU, not the person you are talking to!

Men say: Obrigado.
Women say: Obrigada.

Why? Because you are saying “I feel obliged (obrigado/a) to thank you”.

​In Portuguese, “de” loves to dress up.​
It changes with gender: de + o = do, de + a = da.​

Same meaning, different outfit — because, in Portuguese, prepositions agree with the next word. ​

Ever heard an excuse so bad it could put an ox to sleep?
In Brazilian Portuguese, that’s called história pra boi dormir.
Basically: a lame excuse, a tall tale, pure nonsense.
Nice try… but we’re not buying it

​In Portuguese, “pois não?” doesn’t mean “because no?” at all.​
It’s our charming way of saying “I’m listening,” “How can I help?” or “Go ahead!”​

A tiny phrase that actually means “yes, tell me” — Brazilian politeness doing linguistic gymnastics.​
