How do you say hello in rio?

While "Olá" is the most common way to say hello in Portuguese, in Rio de Janeiro, you'll often hear "E aí?" which is a more casual and informal greeting. It's like saying "What's up?" or "How's it going?" You might also hear "Fala!" (Speak!) or "Oi!" which are also casual greetings.

Here are some additional greetings you might hear in Rio:

* "Bom dia!" (Good morning!) - used until noon

* "Boa tarde!" (Good afternoon!) - used from noon until sunset

* "Boa noite!" (Good evening!) - used from sunset until midnight

* "Tudo bem?" (Everything ok?) - a common way to ask "How are you?"

* "Tudo bom?" (Everything good?) - a more informal way to ask "How are you?"

Remember, "E aí?" is the most common and informal greeting you'll hear on the streets of Rio.
