Como vai?

Literal meaning: "How goes it?"

How are you (semi-formal, Brazil)
KOH-moo vah-EE

What does it mean?

"Como vai?" is a step more polished than "tudo bem?" — a natural choice for a first professional meeting or with someone older, while still sounding warm rather than stiff.

How to use it

Semi-formal, safe with new acquaintances, clients, and elders. "Tudo bem?" stays the go-to for close friends.

Example sentences

How are you, sir?

Como vai, senhor?

How are things going?

Como vai tudo por aí?
