What's up guys! How are you?
Welcome to Uncle Brazil.
My name is Rodrigo and today we are going to learn four ways to order beer in Portuguese, just like a local Brazilian.
But first I invite you to subscribe to my channel and, after the video, leave a like if you enjoyed it.
If you know someone who likes beer, share this video. Deal?
So now, let's do this!
Before we get to know the four ways to order beer in Portuguese, I need to introduce you to a few words.
And the first one is this:
"Por favor".
"Por favor".
"Por favor" means "please".
And here in Brazil it is always friendly and polite for you to say "please" when asking for something.
It can be at the beginning of the sentence, at the end of the sentence. No problem.
The important thing is to always say "please". Deal?
The next word we need to know is "waiter". "Waiter".
Its literal translation is "garçom".
"Garçom".
But Brazilians use other words as well.
Like, for example, "amigo".
"Amigo". Friend.
"Irmão".
"Irmão". Brother.
"Jogador".
This one is very funny and is very common here in Brazil.
"Jogador" means player. Player.
So we have been saying this word directly.
And there's one more form that I find very interesting, very cool.
Some people call the waiter by his name.
So there are people who already frequent a certain bar for a long time, end up getting close to the waiters.
And there are people who have just met the waiter and ask for the name, they create a more personal relationship.
So, this is very common here in Brazil: to call the waiter by his own name.
And the next word, the main one in this video, is "beer".
"Cerveja". It's the literal translation.
"Cerveja".
But Brazilians also say "gelada".
"Gelada". Cold.
And "breja".
"Breja".
This one has no translation, it's a very local expression.
Now that we know these words, we are ready to order our beer.
And the first way I'm going to present is a more formal way.
"Eu quero".
"Eu quero".
I want.
So, for example:
"Waiter, friend, player, I want a beer, please.
I want a cold one, please."
This is a more formal way.
The second way is "me vê".
"Me vê".
Give me.
It's more informal. All right, guys?
Widely used here in Brazil as well.
So, for example:
"Juvenal, give me a beer, please.
Waiter, give me a beer, please."
Guys, the most important of all of this: "please" at the end.
It doesn't matter which way you order and how you call the waiter, but always say "please".
The third way, also informal, is similar to "me vê", which is "traz".
"Traz".
Bring me.
For example:
"Bring me a beer, please.
Bring me a cold one, please."
It is also used a lot here in Brazil.
And, folks, this is the most local of them all.
It has no translation, this expression has no translation.
"Desce" literally means "to go down".
But in the bar, in the restaurant, you can tell the waiter:
"Waiter, desce a beer, please.
Desce a cold one, please.
Desce a beer, please."
Now that we've ordered our beer, "saúde"!
"Saúde".
"Saúde" means "health".
And that's what Brazilians say when they toast.
That's it, folks. Thank you so much for watching.
I hope you guys enjoyed it.
And I wrote an article with vocabulary that will help you when you're in a bar here in Brazil.
The link is here in the video description, okay?
Thank you so much again.
See you next time. Cheers!
Fala pessoal! Tudo bem?
