Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
I looked, "Tudo bem?" is a greeting in Brazilian Portuguese, that translates to "everything good?".
In French, there is “ça va?”, which can be translated as “it goes?”. It is also a valid response to itself too, so the conversation flow might just be “ça va? ça va.”
“How’s it going?”
“It’s going”
Reminds generally of Spanish and porque/por que
Porque === because
Por que === for what?
It's similar in English, though native speakers probably never notice: it's literally "be cause".
All good? All good.
In German there is "moin". And a conversation might go like: "Moin. Moin." As far as I'm concerned this greeting has no meaning at all. It could be derived from "morgen" (EN: morning), but you can use it at any time. So it's basically a noise you make to acknowledge someone's existence at this point. With varying degrees of enthusiasm.
*Portuguese. We also use it as informal greeting in Portugal, and I'm pretty sure it's universal to all portuguese speaking countries.
As a generic white guy born and raised in the Midwest I’m so happy that the school system there forced me to learn a foreign language.
Spanish has been by the far the most useful skill taught to me. Having moved to Los Angeles I quickly befriended many people, some who only spoke Spanish and I got to hear their stories firsthand. It’s rather depressing how other white people here don’t know Spanish at all despite being surrounded by it.
My wife is from Mexico City and I’ve gone to parts of Mexico to visit her family there. It’s liberating spending weeks thinking, speaking, listening and conversing in another language. With an open mind the weird cultural ticks you might see in others begin to make sense.
All this to say: learn another language! I hated it initially and without it being required I would’ve never discovered so much later in life.
