How do you say how are in Portuguese?

The most common way to say "how are you" in Portuguese is:

"Como está?" (formal)

Here's a breakdown:

* "Como" means "how"

* "está" is the third-person singular present tense of the verb "estar" (to be).

Other options:

* "Como vai?" (formal) - This is more literally "How are you going?" but is used as a polite greeting.

* "Tudo bem?" (informal) - This means "Everything okay?" and is a more casual way to ask how someone is.

* "E você?" (informal) - This means "And you?" and is often used after someone asks you how you are.

Remember:

* "Como está?" is the most versatile and appropriate for most situations.

* "Como vai?" and "Tudo bem?" are more informal and are better used with friends or family.

* "E você?" is a casual way to respond to someone asking you "How are you?"
