Literal meaning: "Spoke / said"

Bye / Later (very casual, Brazil)

fah-LOH

What does it mean?

"Falou" is a distinctly Brazilian way to say bye — literally "spoke" (as in, "it's been said, we're done here"). Very casual and common among friends, especially over the phone or when wrapping up a chat.

How to use it

Close-friend register. Too casual for professional contexts — "até mais" is the safer default there.

Example sentences

Alright, later!

Beleza, falou!

Later, talk soon.

Falou, a gente se fala.
