How To Compliment Someone In Portuguese

Portuguese is nothing if not a language of warmth. Something about its cadence and intonation can coax you into being less reserved than you are in your native tongue.

Whether you’re preparing yourself to make a good impression on your significant others’ parents, making sure you know how to move with ease through a professional setting, or getting ready to make lots of new friends and acquaintances in Brazil or Portugal, these phrases will be good to keep in your back pocket.
