SpeekuHow to sayHow to say welcome in European Portuguese
What people say, and how it sounds.
The answer
to a manbem-vindo/ˈbɐ̃j̃ˈvĩdu/
to a womanbem-vinda
The short answer
Bem-vindo to a man, bem-vinda to a woman, bem-vindos to a group. Unlike obrigado, this one agrees with the person you are greeting, not with you.
Add the place with a: Bem-vindo a Portugal!
bãy-VEEN-du
Bem is nasal, no m sound; vindo has the stress on vin, also nasal, and a final o that fades to a short u.
