How to Say ‘It's so good to see you all again.’ in Portuguese
Que bom voltar a vê-los.
kuh bohng vohl-TAR ah VEH-loosh
[kuh bohng vohl-TAR ah VEH-loosh]
💬 Usage Tip: In [vê-los], the [a] from [voltar a ver] disappears when [ver] joins [os], and [ver] shifts to [vê-]. You'll see this kind of reshaping with attached object words quite a lot in Portuguese.
