How do you say bless in Portuguese?

The most common way to say "bless" in Portuguese is "abençoar".

Here are some examples:

* "Deus te abençoe." (God bless you.)

* "Que Deus abençoe sua família." (May God bless your family.)

* "Vou abençoar essa comida." (I'm going to bless this food.)

However, the specific translation might depend on the context:

* "Bless you" after someone sneezes is usually "Saúde!" (Health!)

* "Bless your heart" (used to express sympathy or pity) can be translated as "Que pena!" (What a pity!) or "Coitado(a)!" (Poor thing!)

* "Bless you" as a way of expressing gratitude or appreciation is more similar to "Obrigado(a)" (Thank you).

Remember that Portuguese has different dialects, so the specific word used might vary depending on the region. However, "abençoar" is generally understood throughout the Portuguese-speaking world.
