When learning a new language, greetings are among the first phrases you’ll master. Knowing how to say “good morning” is essential for starting the day on the right foot. In Portuguese, whether you’re in Brazil, Portugal, or another Lusophone country, knowing how to greet people properly can make a huge difference in your interactions. In this blog post, we’ll explore not only how to say “good morning” in Portuguese but also the cultural nuances that come with it.
The direct translation of “good morning” in Portuguese is “bom dia”. Here’s a quick breakdown:
So, “bom dia” literally means “good day,” but it’s used exclusively in the morning, typically until noon or just after.
Pronunciation Tip:
“Bom” is pronounced like bõ, with a nasal sound.
“Dia” is pronounced jee-ah, with a soft d that almost sounds like j.
2. When to Use “Bom Dia”
In Portuguese-speaking cultures, “bom dia” is used to greet someone early in the day. You can use it in both formal and informal settings, whether you’re talking to a friend, a shopkeeper, or even a stranger in passing. Brazilians, in particular, are known for their friendliness and are likely to greet you with a cheerful “bom dia” whenever you meet in the morning.
Using “bom dia” is polite and expected in most social interactions. Even in a professional setting, it’s common to greet your coworkers or clients with a “bom dia” when you arrive in the morning.
3. Beyond “Bom Dia”: Other Morning Greetings
If you’re feeling a bit more creative or want to expand your vocabulary, there are a few variations and alternatives to “bom dia” that you can use:
“Tenha um bom dia” – This means “Have a good day.” It’s a slightly more formal or complete version of “bom dia.”
“Bom dia, tudo bem?” – A friendly way to say “Good morning, how are you?” It’s common to add a little extra to your greeting, especially in Brazil, where people enjoy small talk.
“Um ótimo dia para você” – This translates to “A great day for you.” It’s a warm and friendly wish for someone to have a really good day.
4. Cultural Context: Morning Greetings in Brazil
In Brazil, greeting someone with “bom dia” goes beyond mere words; it’s an important part of daily social interactions. Brazilians are generally warm and hospitable, and starting the day with a smile and a “bom dia” is seen as a way to foster good relationships. Whether you’re grabbing coffee at a local café or entering an office building, saying “bom dia” sets a positive tone for the rest of your encounter.
Unlike in some cultures where people may skip morning greetings altogether, Brazilians make a point of greeting everyone they meet, even in passing. So, if you’re living in or visiting Brazil, be ready to exchange a lot of “bom dias”!
5. Morning Greetings in Portugal and Other Lusophone Countries
While the phrase “bom dia” is universal across Portuguese-speaking countries, the way it’s used can vary slightly from country to country. In Portugal, for example, people tend to be a bit more reserved, but greeting someone with “bom dia” is still considered polite and appropriate. In Angola, Mozambique, and other Portuguese-speaking countries, the same rule applies—greetings are important, and starting the day with “bom dia” is essential.
6. Conclusion: The Power of “Bom Dia”
Mastering greetings like “bom dia” is a crucial step in your Portuguese learning journey. Not only does it help you communicate effectively, but it also allows you to connect with people on a more personal level. Whether you’re in Brazil, Portugal, or another Lusophone country, a friendly “bom dia” can go a long way in making a great first impression.
So, the next time you find yourself in a Portuguese-speaking environment, don’t hesitate to start the day with a cheerful “bom dia!” It’s simple, yet powerful, and a key to embracing the warmth and friendliness of the Portuguese language.

Learning Italian is not just about memorizing words and grammar: it’s also about understanding the cultural nuances, the Italian dialects, and regional differences that shape the language.
One interesting example is how Italians express the concept of “skipping school”. While in English this expression is quite consistent, in Italian there are multiple ways to say it, depending on the region or area.
The Standard Expression: “Marinare la scuola”
The most commonly recognized phrase for “skipping school” across Italy is marinare la scuola. This expression is very versatile, meaning you can use it in various settings, from casual conversations to written language.
However, some native speakers, including myself, find marinare la scuola somewhat old-fashioned. This is probably why each region, and sometimes even each area within each region, have different way to express this concept.
A Dive into Regional Expressions
As I mentioned, there are different regional alternatives to express the traditional concept of marinare la scuola. Here, I will list some of these examples, based on my personal experience and that of close friends or colleagues.
Notice that, although I will translate some of the words belonging to these expressions, their literal translation does not really play a role for the meaning of these idiomatic expressions.
Napoli: fare filone The word filone literally means a “long loaf of bread”, but here, of course, it is used with a different meaning.
Roma: andare a sega While sega literally means “saw”, it is often used with a quite vulgar meaning.
Toscana: fare forca Forca means “pitchfork”.
Veneto: bruciare The verb bruciare literally means “to burn”. This expression conveys a rebellious tone.
Emilia Romagna: fare fuga The word fuga means “escape”. Sometimes, you can also find the expression fare buco, which translates to “make a hole”, where the “hole” metaphorically represents a gap in one’s school attendance.
Lombardia: balzare scuola The verb balzare is the dialectal counterpart of saltare (to jump). This is a more modern expression, but a couple of decades ago people used to say bigiare, with the same meaning of today’s balzare.
Piemonte: tagliare The verb tagliare means “to cut”.
Synonyms and Slang
Italian is a language full of synonyms and slang, and “skipping school” is no exception. Depending on where you are in Italy—or even which generation you’re speaking to—you might hear a wide range of terms.
For instance: bucare, schissare, fare forca, scavallare, far cavalletta, brasare, cabottare, salare, and many more. Do you want to know something fun? I do not know these terms at all!
These variations provide valuable insights into Italy’s cultural diversity. For example, some terms may indicate a more urban slang from younger generations, while others might be deeply rooted in a specific regional dialect.
