Cultural Note
While 'beleza' literally means 'beauty', Brazilians use it constantly as slang for 'okay', 'cool', 'sure', or 'all good'. It functions both as a greeting ('beleza?' = you good?) and as agreement ('beleza!' = sounds good!). This usage is exclusively Brazilian and would sound odd in Portugal.
