How to Say ‘Later I'll send you a message’ in Portuguese

Depois envio-lhe uma mensagem

duh-PWESH en-VEE-oo lyuh OO-muh men-SAH-zhenge

[duh-PWESH en-VEE-oo lyuh OO-muh men-SAH-zhenge]

💬 Usage Tip: Depois often means "later" in everyday Portuguese, not just "afterwards" in a strict sequence. In speech, the unstressed vowels in envio-lhe get very reduced, so it sounds more compact than it looks.
