✕Common Mistakes
Tudo bem até agora, valeu.
In formal contexts, replace with “obrigado/a”.
Tudo bem até agora. Valeu.
Do not separate “até agora” with a period; it stays in the same sentence.
Tudo bem até agora?
Using a question mark changes the meaning to “Is everything fine so far?” which is not the intended statement.

Cultural Tip
“Valeu” is very informal and typical of Brazilian Portuguese. It’s perfect among peers, but in a formal setting you’d replace it with “obrigado” (if you’re male) or “obrigada” (if you’re female). Also, the phrase “Tudo bem” can be used both as a greeting and as a quick status check, so tone of voice often tells the listener which meaning you intend.
