I'm from Lisbon and currently living in Coimbra. I always said and heard "obrigado" regularly, so I'm guessing this might depend on the region. All the examples you're giving are also used and it's good for foreigners to know, but saying "don't say obrigado" will just make it confusing for learners. Please do use "obrigado" as this is perfectly correct and commonly used in fluent portuguese :)
You are right, I lived two years in Lisbon, always said and heard portoghese people saying obrigado/ a , obrigadinho never heard,sounds more like Brazilian Portuguese to me. Mil obrigados also never heard...
@@ildaferreira1509 This is simply not true. It is not an adverb, let alone a "neutral adverb", which is, linguistically speaking, not something that actually exists. Obrigado/a is an adjective. It's very simple: men say obrigado, women say obrigada. The argument that "obrigada" is a "less correct, more colloquial expression" is just plain false.
Obrigada e obrigado são particípios e/ou adjetivos. Logo, podem ser flexionados. Não é uma questão de coloquialidade, é uma questão de concordância do particípio/adjetivo com o sujeito.
I'm Brazilian and I was going to say the same thing. I don't feel that it's natural to say "obrigadão". I heard that quite a lot in Brazil in informal occasions. But Portuguese people can be very formal, and it's always good to keep that way. I feel that's very informal and I might would use only with someone who I know well. Never outside, for sure.
@@lydiawhitting5406 "Bem-haja" (in singular) or "bem-hajam" (in plural) means "thank you" or "well there" ☺️ ; "bem" - good and "haja" is the verb "haver", "there to be" in the present of subjunctive. It can also be used as "Thank goodness" 🙏🏻 My mum and friends from Beira's regions use it very often. I hope this answer can help you to understand it better 🙏🏻😅
@@lydiawhitting5406 "Bem-haja" could translate to "be well", or "all good for you", but it's almost only used by old people in some villages. Normal people in normal circumstances, almost always use "obrigado(a)"
Liz, não sei se já terás feito algum vídeo assim, mas seria interessante um com diferentes maneiras de dizer "you're welcome" em português: "de nada" (you're welcome), "ora essa" ("not at all"), "não tem de quê" ("you don't have to"), "é um prazer" (it's a pleasure"), "não é nada" ("that's nothing"), "não faz mal" ("that's ok"), etc...😅😍 A tradução que fiz é como entendo que seria mais adequado, como sentiria se o tivesse que dizer em inglês. Espero não estar errada. Podes-me corregir se estiver a "meter a pata/o pé na argola" ("screw up" or "goof up"), se for o caso. ☺ Espero ter ajudado e não te complicar a vida com a minha sugestão 🤣😇😂 Gosto muito dos teus vídeos, por isso é que o digo, lol.
I think it's: "fico a dever-te uma" rather than fico-te a dever uma" Not that it's incorrect but it would sound more natural. You owe him/her something

A palavra “obrigado” tem uma origem muito antiga e curiosa. Ela vem do particípio passado do verbo latino “obligo”, que significa ligar ou vincular. Esse verbo também deu origem ao verbo português “ligar” e ao adjetivo espanhol “obligado”. No latim, o particípio passado de “obligo” era “obligatus”, que podia significar tanto ligado como obrigado. Por exemplo, uma frase como “Obligatus sum tibi” podia ser traduzida como “Estou ligado a ti” ou “Estou obrigado a ti”. A palavra “obrigado” vem do particípio passado do verbo latino “obligo”, que significa ligar ou vincular. Esse verbo também deu origem ao verbo português “ligar” e ao adjetivo espanhol “obligado”. No latim, o particípio passado de “obligo” era “obligatus”, que podia significar tanto ligado como obrigado. Por exemplo, uma frase como “Obligatus sum tibi” podia ser traduzida como “Estou ligado a ti” ou “Estou obrigado a ti”. Com o tempo, o latim foi-se transformando nas línguas românicas, como o português, o espanhol, o francês, o italiano, etc. Nesse processo, a palavra “obligatus” foi sofrendo algumas alterações fonéticas e semânticas. Por exemplo, em português, o “g” passou a ser pronunciado como “gu” antes de “a” e “o”, e o “u” final caiu. Assim, “obligatus” tornou-se “obrigado”. Mas “obrigado” não era apenas uma forma verbal ou um adjetivo. Também se tornou uma forma de agradecimento. Como é que isso aconteceu? Bem, parece que a origem dessa mudança está nas expressões mais complexas que se usavam nas cartas antigas, como por exemplo: “Muito Venerador e Obrigado a Vossa Mercê”. Nessa expressão, o “obrigado” tinha o sentido de estar em dívida ou em obrigação com alguém por um favor recebido. Com o tempo, essa expressão foi-se simplificando e o “obrigado” perdeu o sentido original de obrigação e passou a ser usado como uma interjeição fixa para agradecer.
Some tendencies are regional. Where I live on the silver coast about two hours north of Lisbon, most everybody pronounces the o. I lived in Lisbon for a bit last year and almost nobody says it as you reference in this video.
Hey, hey! in this case, it is not a regional thing. If you're a man you say obrigado, if you're a woman you say obrigada. This is indeed the rule. However, some natives speakers do mistake this! 😊
Liz this one!!! I have had so many people help me, leave me little gifts and been so kind to me in my first two week here at my new home. And I felt so ... lackluster to just keep saying muito obrigada. Now I have an entire arsenal of gratitude! Fico mesmo agradecido❤
Hey! People do intend to say the full word, it's just that Portuguese is a stress-timed language so sometimes natives cut some letters! I recommend watching this video: ruclips.net/video/PWspg1XCF1k/видео.htmlsi=kH4iv-JhTRBr9WAx 😊
I appreciate all the tips, though I must admit I wondered at first what was wrong with saying "Obrigado/ -da" and thought it was going to be something quite serious. Whew!
It's very common to say obrigado in Brazilian Portuguese. All the time we say obrigado when thanking people. As for "obrigadinho", in fact, it's not very common here in Brazil, although not quite often we hear someone say "brigadim" as an abbreviation for "obrigadinho". But only rarely...
Are you familiar at all with what nonbinary or intersex people generally do about obrigado/a by any chance? Or what's done if a mixed gender group of people are thanking someone? Or if in a professional email you don't want to reveal your gender? Are there standards for delineating sex and gender in the language in general? I'm like 90% Azorean but sadly never learned the language for complex family reasons 😬😅. I did take Portuguese 101 in college but the prof was Brazilian so the pronunciation doesn't fly in the community here (South Eastern Massachusetts) even if I could remember more than the naughty words my primos taught me 😬😅
Hey! I've seen "obrigadx" or "obrigade" for a gender neutral thank you, however, it's not yet very popularized. If a mixed gender group is thanking someone, you opt for the masculine or find ways around the gender: "Agradecemos por x" "Estamos agradecidos" "Gratos"... Hope this helps :)
This video might confuse some of the viewers, as obrigado (obrigada) really is the most current way of thanking someone. I understand you're trying to provide more options, but I must say some of them are a bit far fetched (even though correct), and saying obrigadão or obrigadex (whatever) isn't at all formal. For instance, it's not normal to purchase something and say obrigadão, it'll sound weird.
2:20 Although you can use that, it's wrong. The correct term we use is "agradeceria" which is from conditional mode. Every time we use a verb that in English would require a would, we don't use a word like "would" but instead we use the conditional mode of the verb to indicate it. Again, it's fine to use it and you can use it but without the context, we think you're saying that you used to thank me.
Eu li, automaticamente, "agradeceria". Estranhei sua correção e após ler a legenda por três vezes percebi que ela diz "agradecia", o que torna a frase "agradecia imenso" ainda mais estranha, para mim, um brasileiro. Bom, frases coloquiais podem causar muita estranheza mesmo. Acredito que a frase correta deveria ser "Agradeceria imensamente", o que deixa me muito mais confortável em dize-la.
It' not wrong at all to use "agradecia" ( Pretérito imperfeito) in that context. Both condicional as Pretérito imperfeito can be use as "modos de tratamento" (I can't remenber the tecnical term).
@@mtrivelin 'Agradecia imenso' é uma expressão coloquial muito utilizada em Portugal ('imenso' neste contexto é uma forma bastante idiomática... que talvez se possa equiparar ao 'a lot' em inglês)) Num texto formal utilizar-se-ia muito provavelmente: 'agradeceria muito', 'agradeceria muitíssimo' ou 'agradeceria imensamente'.

Thanks, Liz. This was very helpful. (I think I *have* used obrigadinha once before...😮) Something else to clarify; could you do a video on food, please, iro when to use alimentação, comida, & refeição?
Awesome! I have a couple of videos in restaurants on my channel :) Comida is food, refeição is meal, and alimentação can mean more things but generally is diet or food
Every time I shop at my Mini market, Pingo Doce and Continente, the Portuguese cashier always hands me my receipt with an"Obrigada", or, 'Brigada". And, the cashiers express to the shoppers who are in line in front of me, "Obrigada". I am sticking with the locals, thanks all the same! 😉

The goal of this channel is to teach practical Portuguese in plain English - a complete beginner would not understand a thing if I had videos 100% in PT :)
Obrigado. As a trying Spanish learnerfor a few years, I also started to learn Portuguese a little, step by step, in a slow way. My idea is that I won't give much attention to fonetics and spelling. It is too hard and I see no future option for myself to speak Portuguese with others, like to travel there. It is rather for reading (intellectual) purposes and curiosity. Even though the language is ultra melodic, in terms of learning I prefer the simplicity of Spanish. So for now, no nasal voices, etc. If I could read a little bit of Pessoa independently, that is enough
Liz, may I ask why you speak English in your lessons? Does it not defeat the purpose? You deliver tons of useful tips, but to me these lessons are largely a waste because 95% of speech is English. Therefore I end up just scrolling through them to see what I need and next. Since most of us struggle with understanding the spoken language, it is super important to optimize the exposure to it; indeed, delivering the information in Portuguese could be a huge plus in this regard. Please consider it. Even though you are not a native speaker, you sound pretty great.
Thanks for this - my job is to teach beginners who are just getting started and wouldn't be able to follow a lesson in Portuguese. There are a lot of other native speakers who teach in Portuguese that can help you if you prefer that format, I just stick to what I am best at :)
It's wrong in the beginning of the video. People often say if you're a man you say Obrigado. If you're a woman Obrigada. That's not the rule. The rule is. If you are a person (no metter gender) thanking to a man you say Obrigado. The other way around. If you are thanking to a woman you say Obrigada

why don't you just make your videos in portuguese if you really want to help people learn the language
The goal of this channel is to teach practical Portuguese in plain English - a complete beginner would not understand a thing if I had videos 100% in PT :)
@@TalktheStreets Right, you're extremely over priced courses are reserved for that.
Help. Does the A or O infront of brigado depend on whether you are thanking a man or woman ?
Hey! It depends on the person speaking! If you're a man, you always say obrigado. If you're a woman, you always say obrigada. 😊
@@TalktheStreets thank you 🤗
Onde eu sempre vivi toda a gente diz obrigado/obrigada 🤔
Of course, everyone does say it! This video simply aims to give learners more options :)
Valeu!
You got yourself a new subscriber.
Woop obrigada!
Adorei desta aula. Obrigadisima❤
Awesome!
Loved this one! Thanks so much!
No problem, glad it was helpful! 😊
It should be agradecido...obrigado in literal language is forced to......
Não é preciso complicar...
Obrigado. As a trying Spanish learnerfor a few years, I also started to learn Portuguese a little, step by step, in a slow way. My idea is that I won't give much attention to fonetics and spelling. It is too hard and I see no future option for myself to speak Portuguese with others, like to travel there. It is rather for reading (intellectual) purposes and curiosity. Even though the language is ultra melodic, in terms of learning I prefer the simplicity of Spanish. So for now, no nasal voices, etc. If I could read a little bit of Pessoa independently, that is enough
Valeu a pena? Tudo vale a pena
Se a alma não é pequena. :D
Sou grato ou Deus te paga
'brigado :)
Liz, may I ask why you speak English in your lessons? Does it not defeat the purpose? You deliver tons of useful tips, but to me these lessons are largely a waste because 95% of speech is English. Therefore I end up just scrolling through them to see what I need and next. Since most of us struggle with understanding the spoken language, it is super important to optimize the exposure to it; indeed, delivering the information in Portuguese could be a huge plus in this regard. Please consider it. Even though you are not a native speaker, you sound pretty great.
Thanks for this - my job is to teach beginners who are just getting started and wouldn't be able to follow a lesson in Portuguese. There are a lot of other native speakers who teach in Portuguese that can help you if you prefer that format, I just stick to what I am best at :)
It's wrong in the beginning of the video. People often say if you're a man you say Obrigado. If you're a woman Obrigada. That's not the rule.
The rule is.
If you are a person (no metter gender) thanking to a man you say Obrigado. The other way around. If you are thanking to a woman you say Obrigada
Hey! It's not wrong. 😊 RTP has covered the topic, I recommend watching this: ensina.rtp.pt/artigo/obrigado-ou-obrigada-e-como-se-deve-agradecer/
You can also check here www.e-konomista.pt/obrigado-ou-obrigada/ and here porticodalinguaportuguesa.pt/index.php/dicionarios/dificuldades/item/obrigado-ou-obrigada-3
Hope this helps!
A regra não é assim. No vídeo está correto.
Têem razão estava convencido do contrário
Kkkkkkk, obrigadão, brigado, not exist, is wrong, the correct is obrigado or obrigada. Not use the other.
They all exist!
@@TalktheStreets,exist in street language, used by Zucas(Brasil) but bad Portuguese. If have doubts ask Cintia Chagas, She is an expert in Portuguese, and a Brazilian teacher ;)
Not exist...we are in Portugal.
@@serramcs, '(-_Q)' You are in Portugal? And you are not ashamed and support so bad Portuguese? Its Portuguese is used in the degraded neighborhoods, with little educated people unfortunately, or reminding the dark street in Porto. At the very least, say you don't even speak Portuguese, instead of coming to write nonsense. If you want, I also answer you in Portuguese /Portuguese

@@pijamatimeNão vale usar xenofobia anti-brasileira como desculpa, até porque entre a maneira de falar à chunga, zuca, ou tuga, venha o diabo e escolha!
