Segue uma lista to refresh your memory (se você não os conhece, um bom exercício é procurá- los no Google): Informal Greetings: Arriving (chegada) or passing by Hi / Hello Morning/afternoon/ evening (Isso mesmo! Sem a palavra GOOD!) How are you? What's up? (very informal) How are you doing? (very informal) Notice that the question "How are you?" or "What's up?" doesn't necessary need a response. If you respond, these phrases are generally expected: Very well, thank you. And you? (formal) Fine / Great (informal). Formal Greetings: Arriving or passing by Good morning Good afternoon Good evening Good day Sir / Madam (very formal) Hello (name), how are you? Informal Greetings: Departing Goodbye / Bye/ Bye for now See you (later)/ See you soon/ So long See ya./Later (very informal) Formal Greetings: Departing Good morning / afternoon / evening. Good night (After 8 p.m., para se despedir ou ir dormir) It was a pleasure seeing you. Goodbye. Let’s go for the examples… Arriving/passing by 1. Hello, Mark. How are you? 2. Fine, thanks Carlos. And you? 1. I'm fine, thank you. 3. Hi, Bob! What’s up? 4. Morning, Daniel. Departing 1. Goodbye, guys. See you tomorrow! 2. Bye bye, Mark. Have a nice evening. 1. Thanks, you too! 2. Thanks. NOTE: in English, the word THANKS or the expression THANK YOU are much more frequently used than in Brazil. Have you noticed that we generally have a key vocabulary? Hi./Hello... /How are you?/ What’s up?/ How are you doing?/How have you been? I'm fine, - OK, - well, pretty well/ thank you/ thanks And you? Goodbye, - bye bye See you tomorrow Have a nice evening, - day Let’s practice a little??
