How not being so lost!

                               Hi Folks,

Here, I decided to tell actually, what kind of words or expressions are really importante when you´re coming to Brazil on business or on vacation , no matter.

Actually as it is for the all the languages, it´s polite if you know how to say simple word like: thank you =obrigada/o, please= por favor, excuse me = com licença, sorry= desculpe..

But we can say it´s quite useful, if you know expressions about direction, for example:
- turn righ: vire a direita
- turn left : vire a esquerda
- go ahead: siga em frente
- come back: volte

It´s also good if you take a look at the numbres, I mean, how to say numbres form one to ten (at least) in Portuguese, in order not to stay lost about money and prices.

For the people who are coming on business, it´s good to know that brazilian people allso use some abreviations on their emails just like:  ATT= atenciosamente (sincerely), ABS= abraços (hugs or for the Americans, XXOO) , PSI- para sua informacão (for your onformation).

And here it´s good to say something important: the word "informação" in Portuguese, differently from English HAS plural form.

See you!
