The Portuguese equivalent to the English question 'How are you' is the following: Como vai voce; or Como vas? The Portuguese pronunciation is the following: KOH-moo veye* voh-SAY; and KOH-moo vahsh. The word-by-word translation is the following: 'como' means 'how'; 'vai' and 'vas' '[you] go'; 'voce' 'you'.
The first example may be used in Brazil and Portugal. But the second example is used in Portugal. For peninsular Portuguese still uses the 'you' [tu] form with children and the close circle of family and friends.
*The sound is similar to the pronunciation of the English word 'eye'. This the Brazilian portuguese, the European portuguese you say: como vais? Or como é que vais? But we don't say that.... We use more slangish words or slangish ways of saying things. I'm from Lisbon, so ask away!!! It would be fun explain portuguese, and you can teach me proper English!
