Hello, everyone! Today we have another Portuguese lesson for you! We are going to talk about the word Galera in Portuguese. Have you ever heard it?
Galera means Folks/People in Portuguese. We can use the word Galera to refer to a group of people in different contexts. This expression is very important because Brazilians, especially cariocas, use it a lot! Take a look at the video and see how we use it in our day to day life:
Now let’s learn each context that we would use the word galera in Portuguese:
The most important thing is to use it to talk to several people, not just a person. Here we are using galera to call our students! Let’s study, folks!
See the dialogue:
| Pablo: Vamos, galera! | Pablo: Let’s go, people! |
| Alunos: Vamos! | Students: Let’s go! |
The word Galera can be used to introduce someone to other people.
Take a look at the dialogue:
| Cássio: Fala aí, galera! Esse aqui é o Igor, o meu amigo do trabalho. | Cássio: How are y’doing, people! This is Igor, my friend from work. |
| Igor: E aí, galera! | Igor: What’s up everybody! |
| Diogo: E aí, cara! Tudo bom? | Diogo: Hey, man! How are you? |
| Luana: E aí, tudo bem? Beleza. | Luana: Alright! How are you? All good. |
We also use the word Galera when we want to greet some people. Take a look!
Check out this example of Luana talking to several people.
| Luana: Oi, galera! Beleza? Oi, galera! Oi! Tudo bem? |
Luana: Hey, everybody! What’s up! Hi, folks! Hi! How are you? |
Before you leave, complete this exercise and we’ll see if you can use this word correctly. Tell us which dialogues are correct and which are incorrect. For that you have to put the letter C (certo / right) in brackets for the correct answers and E (errado/ wrong) for the wrong ones.
So cool, right?
