मतलब
A polite response when asked how you are.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Brazilians are extremely 'cordial'. Saying 'Estou bem' is often a reflex. If you say anything else, be prepared for a long conversation about your problems! In Portugal, there is a bit more room for melancholy. If someone isn't doing well, they might say 'Mais ou menos' or 'Vai-se andando'. Politeness is often paired with the phrase 'Estamos juntos' (We are together), showing that your well-being is connected to the community. Formal titles (Senhor/Senhora) are very important when responding to elders or superiors.
