Cultural Note

Falou (literally 'spoke/said') is Brazilian slang for goodbye, especially popular in São Paulo and among younger speakers. The combo 'valeu, falou!' is iconic — it's the quintessential casual Brazilian sign-off. It evolved from 'falou, tá falado' (said, it's been said — i.e., we're agreed). Not used in Portugal.
