Recently, we learned how to write formal emails in Portuguese<\/a>. Now we’re going to learn how to write informal emails in Portuguese. These are the types of messages you’d send to co-workers, friends, or acquaintances.<\/p>\n

1. Salutation<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can use Caro (or Cara, for a female) for dear, as in Dear Andr\u00e9. Similarly, you can use Querido or Querida for dear, if it’s a loved one or friend. The simplest salutation is just Ol\u00e1 or Oi (hello, hi). For co-workers, you could also use Prezado colega or Estimado colega (Dear colleague).<\/p>\n

2. Body of the E-mail<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some key phrases for the body of the email:<\/p>\n

-Tudo bem? or Tudo bom? (How’s it going?)<\/p>\n

-Como est\u00e3o as coisas? (How are things?)<\/p>\n

-Tentei ligar para voc\u00ea (I tried to call you)<\/p>\n

-Queria saber se (I wanted to know if)<\/p>\n

-Bom final de semana! (Have a good weekend)<\/p>\n

3. Leave-taking<\/strong><\/p>\n

For a loved one or friend, you can use:<\/p>\n

Um abra\u00e7o (a hug)
\nUm beijo (a kiss)
\nAbra\u00e7os (hugs)
\nBeijos (kisses)
\nAbs (short for abra\u00e7os)<\/p>\n

For co-workers and slightly more formal recipients, you can use:<\/p>\n

Sauda\u00e7\u00f5es (salutations)
\nObrigado\/a (thank you)<\/p>\n

Here’s an example of an informal email.<\/p>\n

Ol\u00e1 Maria!<\/em><\/p>\n

Tudo bem? Como est\u00e3o as coisas em S\u00e3o Paulo? Aqui est\u00e1 fazendo muito calor, n\u00e3o aguento mais.<\/em><\/p>\n

Liguei para voc\u00ea ontem para ver se recebeu os documentos que enviei por Sedex. J\u00e1 chegaram? Posso te passar o n\u00famero de rastreamento se quiser. O pacote era para chegar na segunda-feira, por isso queria saber. <\/em><\/p>\n

Aguardo sua resposta. At\u00e9 mais!<\/em><\/p>\n

Sauda\u00e7\u00f5es,<\/em><\/p>\n
