Cultural Insight |
Eric: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
Ana: You can use oi anytime of the day in a more informal context. To be more formal, it's better to say "good morning" which is bom dia, "good afternoon" which is boa tarde or "good evening" which is boa noite. But these three greetings can of course be used in casual situations too. |
