How do you say greetings in Portuguese?

Answer 1

The Portuguese equivalents to the English word 'greet' are the following: saudar; or acolher and receber. The Portuguese pronunciation is the following: sow*-DAH; ah-coh-LYEH; and heh-seh-BEH. The first example is used in the sense of the verbal greeting, of welcoming the listener in speech. Either one of the second example of equivalents is used in the sense of the physical greeting, of welcoming the listener in a warm manner, such as with a smile and hug. *The sound is similar to the 'ow' in the English word 'how'.

Answer 2
