How do you say 'Be happy' in Portuguese?

Answer 1

The Portuguese equivalent of the English wish 'Be happy' is the following: Esta feliz. The Portuguese pronunciation is the following: ee-SHTAH feh-LEESH. The word-by-word translation is the following: 'esta' means 'May [you] be'; and 'feliz' means 'happy'.

A particular Brazilian spin is the use of the verb 'ficar', which has the same meaning as 'estar' here. For example, the Brazilian wish is as follows: Fica feliz; or Fica contente, since 'contente' has the meaning of 'happy' and 'contented'. The pronunciation is the following: FEE-kuh; and koh-TEHN-tchee.

In Brazilian portuguese, "Be Happy" means " Seja feliz "
