How to Say ‘Welcome to Portugal!’ in Portuguese
Bem-vindo a Portugal!
behm-VEEN-doo ah PORT-shoo-gahl
[behm-VEEN-doo ah PORT-shoo-gahl]
💬 Usage Tip: In European Portuguese, unstressed vowels get reduced a lot, so Bem-vindo a Portugal is said more tightly than it looks on the page. Also, ão in Portugal is nasal: not (ow), more like a nose-sounding ending.
