How to Flirt in Brazilian Portuguese

Fernando Nonohay Nonohay Author

We're going to practice 10 phrases that you can say to someone if you want to flirt in Brazilian Portuguese with them!

1. Let's suppose you are in a bar and you want to come up to someone and say Hi, how are you. Would you like to drink?

Oi, tudo bem? Você quer uma bebida?

2. You want to ask for their name. Here there are two main options:

Qual é o seu nome?

and

Como você se chama?

3. It's probably a good idea to check if they've got a boyfriend or a girlfriend:

Você tem namorado ou namorada? 

4. You can start saying nice things about them:

Você é muito bonito. (You're very handsome)

Você é muito bonita. (You're very pretty)

You can substitute 'bonito(a)' for other adjectives:

lindo (m.) or linda (fem.) - beautiful

sexy (both m. and fem.)

gostoso (m.) or gostosa (fem.) -  literally 'delicious', but it is slang for 'sexy'.

gato / gata (Lit. "cat") = also slang for 'sexy'

5. You can say You have a nice smile:

Você tem um sorriso muito bonito. 

6.  You want to ask the person you're flirting with if they would like to go somewhere else, so you can ask:

Você quer ir pra um outro lugar?

7. If you would like to ask the person: Would you like to go out with me next week? You can say:

Você quer sair comigo na semana que vem?

Now, here you can replace sair with other things, like, jantar (to have dinner), tomar um café (to have a coffee), or ir ao cinema (to go to the cinema), for example. 

8. You wanna ask them what their phone number is, so you can say:

Qual é o seu número? 

or

Qual é o seu telefone?

9. You want to say to the person that you like them very much:

Eu gosto muito de você.

10. Things are going really well, you've met the person, you've been out with them for a few times and you want to say I love you:

Eu te amo. Here, you can leave 'Eu' out, and just say:

Te amo. 

Another way of saying it is 

Eu amo você.
