** Grammar notes

• Obrigado, obrigada
  In Portuguese, everything and everybody (people, places and things) has a gender: they are either masculine (m) or feminine (f).
  Many masculine words end in o and feminine words often end in a. Likewise, the word for thanks is obrigado when said by a man, or obrigada when said by a woman.

In Portuguese, people use the expressions Bom dia, Boa tarde and Boa noite both when saying hello and goodbye, as in Olá, bom dia - Hello, good morning or Adeus, boa tarde - Goodbye and good afternoon to you.
For good evening, boa tarde is used before it gets dark and boa noite after.
