Cultural Note
E aí (literally 'and there') is one of Brazil's most popular casual greetings, equivalent to 'what's up' or 'hey'. It's almost always followed by another casual check-in like 'beleza?' (cool?), 'tudo certo?' (all right?), or 'como cê tá?' (how you doing?). This is very informal and distinctly Brazilian — not used in Portugal.
