We’ve talked about similar slang expressions<\/a> in the past, but for beginners, it’s helpful to know a few ways to say “what’s up?” Keep in mind that these expressions are to be used in informal circumstances amongst friends.<\/p>\n

1. E a\u00ed?<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the easiest and most common way to say “what’s up?” in Portuguese that is understood throughout the country.<\/p>\n

E a\u00ed cara?<\/em> What’s up man?<\/p>\n

It can also be used in the sense of what’s up to mean “so?”<\/p>\n

E a\u00ed? Vamos no bar hoje?<\/em> So? Are we going to the bar today?<\/p>\n

E a\u00ed? Tem jogo amanh\u00e3?<\/em> What’s up? Is there a game tomorrow?<\/p>\n

E a\u00ed? Ela j\u00e1 chegou?<\/em> So? Is she here yet?<\/p>\n

2. Beleza?<\/strong><\/p>\n

This expression is more common in Rio, and can be used as both a question and an answer.<\/p>\n

Beleza? <\/em>What’s up?<\/p>\n

– Beleza<\/em>.\u00a0 Nothing much.<\/p>\n

Extra tip: When friends chat online, they often shorten this expression to blz<\/em>?<\/p>\n

3. Qual \u00e9? (Co\u00e9?)<\/strong><\/p>\n
