Adeus, mano!
ah-DAY-oosh MAH-noo
[ah-DAY-oosh MAH-noo]
💬 Usage Tip: mano is a shortened form of irmão "brother", but here it's used for friends, not family.
🇵🇹 In Portugal: In Portugal adeus is an everyday, casual goodbye, not the dramatic farewell it can sound like in Brazil. mano is mostly heard among younger people and close friends, so skip it with strangers or anyone older.
