How do you say how are in porteguese?

There are a few ways to say "how are you" in Portuguese, depending on the context and level of formality:

Formal:

* Como está? (pronounced: koh-moh eh-stah) - This is the most formal way to ask "how are you" and is used when addressing someone you don't know well or someone in a position of authority.

Informal:

* Como vai? (pronounced: koh-moh vye) - This is a more informal way to say "how are you" and is commonly used with friends, family, or people you know well.

* Tudo bem? (pronounced: too-doh bem) - This literally translates to "everything okay?" and is a very common, casual way to ask "how are you."

More casual:

* E aí? (pronounced: eh-ee) - This is a very informal greeting that can be used to ask "how are you" but it's usually used with close friends or family.

You can also use variations of these phrases, such as:

* Como está tudo? (pronounced: koh-moh eh-stah too-doh) - "How is everything?"

* Como está a vida? (pronounced: koh-moh eh-stah ah vee-dah) - "How is life?"

It's important to choose the right phrase based on the context and your relationship with the person you are talking to.
