There are a few ways to say “everybody” in Portuguese when referring to a group of people in an informal manner. While these nouns may mean something in one context, they are slang for a group of people in another context. Let’s take a look:<\/p>\n

1. gente<\/strong> [people]<\/p>\n

You can use the word for people (which also can be used for “us” in other contexts) to describe “everybody,” or in American slang, “guys” (a group of people).<\/p>\n

Oi gente! Tudo bom?<\/em> Hey guys! How’s it going?<\/p>\n

Vamos l\u00e1 gente! Est\u00e1 na hora.<\/em> Let’s go, everyone! It’s time.<\/p>\n

2. pessoal<\/strong> [staff]<\/p>\n

While in some contexts this refers to personnel or staff, it is slang for “everybody.”<\/p>\n

Bom dia, pessoal! Podemos come\u00e7ar?<\/em> Good morning everyone! Can we begin?<\/p>\n

Fala, pessoal! Preciso de uma resposta.<\/em> Tell me, guys! I need an answer.<\/p>\n

3. galera<\/strong> [galley]<\/p>\n

While in some contexts this can mean the galley of a ship, it also means “guys” or “gang,” in the sense of a group of friends.<\/p>\n

Oi galera!\u00a0 E ai?<\/em> Hey guys! What’s up?<\/p>\n

Escuta galera! Quero falar.<\/em> Listen everyone! I want to speak.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"\"
