How does one say how are you in portuguese?

There are several ways to say "how are you" in Portuguese, depending on the formality and context:

Formal:

* Como está? (This is the most formal way, used with strangers or someone you want to show respect.)

* Como vai? (This is also formal, but slightly less formal than "Como está?")

Informal:

* Como vai você? (This is the most common way to ask someone how they are, used with friends and family.)

* Tudo bem? (This literally means "everything good?", and is a quick and casual way to say "how are you".)

* E aí? (This is a very informal and casual greeting, similar to "What's up?" in English.)

Other options:

* Como se sente? (This literally means "how do you feel?", and is a more personal way to ask how someone is.)

* Como tem passado? (This literally means "how have you been?", and is used to ask someone about their well-being over a longer period of time.)

The best way to choose the appropriate phrase is to consider the context and your relationship with the person you are talking to.
