Bom dia, Boa tarde, Boa noite... Portuguese greetings for every part of the day
Bom dia. That's how every morning starts in Portugal, and it's where your European Portuguese journey begins too.
In this lesson, you'll learn the three time-based greetings every learner needs from day one: bom dia, boa tarde, and boa noite. Plus why olá, though real, isn't actually the everyday default most learners expect it to be.
What's covered:
Bom dia [bom DEE-ah] — good morning
Boa tarde [BOH-ah TAR-deh] — good afternoon
Boa noite [BOH-ah NOY-teh] — good evening / good night
Olá [oh-LAH] — and when to actually use it
