Kultureller Hintergrund
Brazilians are very tactile. This phrase is often accompanied by a hug or a kiss on the cheek. More formal than Brazil. You might hear 'É bom vê-lo' more often than 'É bom ver você'. Greetings are very important and often involve asking about the family's health. Warmth is highly valued. This phrase is a great way to show respect and friendliness.
Smile!
This phrase is all about warmth. A smile makes it sound much more natural.
Context is key
Only use this with people you have met before. It's a 'reunion' phrase, not an 'introduction' phrase.
