The Portuguese equivalent of the English phrase 'Father Christmas' is the following: Papai Noel. The Portuguese pronunciation is the following: puh-PEYE* noh-EHL. The sound of the Portuguese 'ai' in 'Papai' is similar to the way the word 'eye' is pronounced in English. The word-by-word translation is the following: 'papai' means 'dad', 'daddy', or 'papa'; and 'Noel' means 'Christmas'.
