How to Say ‘Did you sleep well?’ in Portuguese
Dormiste bem?
dor-MEESH-tuh bang
[dor-MEESH-tuh bang]
💬 Usage Tip: [Dormiste] is the [tu] form, so this is for someone you speak to informally. You'll see the same ending in other past forms like [comeste] and [saíste].
🇵🇹 In Portugal: With a neighbour, this sounds friendly and familiar rather than neutral small talk. Use it once you already have some easy rapport; it's not the safest first greeting.
