What is obrigado?

Obrigado is a Portuguese word meaning "thank you." It's a fundamental expression of gratitude in the Portuguese language. The form changes based on the speaker's gender.

• Male Speaker: A male says "https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Obrigado" (obrigado).
• Female Speaker: A female says "https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Obrigada" (obrigada).

The word originates from the Latin word obligatus, which means "obliged." Essentially, when someone says "obrigado/a," they are saying they are obliged to you.

There are also ways to say "you're welcome" in response. Common responses include:

• "https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/De%20nada" (de nada) - "You're welcome" or "It's nothing."
• "https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Não%20há%20de%20quê" (Não há de quê) - A more formal way of saying "You're welcome."
• "https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Por%20nada" (Por nada) - Also translates to "It's nothing" or "You're welcome."

While "obrigado/a" is the standard, other expressions of gratitude exist, such as muito obrigado/a (very much obliged/thank you very much) for greater emphasis.
