European Portuguese/Português Europeu Intro Cheat Sheet

For the 2nd person formal and informal, we use the word for Mr and Ms in the third person as a form of politeness (Como está o senhor = How is mr doing? = how are you doing?)

DT = Direct transl­ation
The answers for these questions (Como estás / tudo bem? and como te chamas / qual é o teu nome? can be used interc­han­gebly but these are the accurate responses)

In Portug­uese, when we speak, for certain types of questions, the interr­ogative can be moved around in the sentence for example, "És da onde? Vives a onde? Tens quantos anos?" just to name a few.

Also, there is an expression "é que" that is used with interr­oga­tives (more often with certain interr­oga­tives than others) and sometimes is ommited. For example, "De onde é que és? Onde é que vives?­"
