How to Say ‘I will leave’ in Portuguese
Vou deixar
voh day-shAR
[voh day-shAR]
💬 Usage Tip: [Vou] + another verb is a very common way to talk about what you're about to do: [vou deixar], [vou ligar], [vou confirmar]. In European Portuguese, unstressed vowels get reduced, so [vou deixar] often sounds closer to (voo dshar) than you'd expect from the spelling.
