How to Say ‘How nice to see you again.’ in Portuguese

Que bom ver-te outra vez.

keh bohng VEHR-tuh OH-trah vehz

[keh bohng VEHR-tuh OH-trah vehz]

💬 Usage Tip: In Portugal, the small word for "you" or "me" usually attaches after the verb with a hyphen: ver-te, ajuda-me "help me". Putting it in front, as Brazilians do, sounds foreign here.
