خلفية ثقافية
In Portugal, 'Adeus' is very common in shops and with strangers. It is less 'dramatic' than in Brazil. Brazilians find 'Adeus' quite heavy. They prefer 'Tchau' or 'Até mais' for almost everything. The word is a staple in poetry to represent the pain of parting, often linked to the sea.
The Shop Rule
In Portugal, always say 'Adeus' when leaving a small shop. It's the polite standard.
Don't be too dramatic
In Brazil, saying 'Adeus' to a date might make them think you're breaking up with them forever.
