Common Mistakes

  • Tudo bem está manhã?

    ‘está’ with an accent is the verb ‘to be’; the correct demonstrative is ‘esta’ without accent.

  • Tudo bem, esta manhã?

    A comma separates the two ideas, turning it into two sentences; keep it as a single question without a comma.

  • Tudo bem essa manhã?

    ‘essa’ means ‘that (near the listener)’, not ‘this’; use ‘esta’ for ‘this morning’.

Alternatives

  • Bom dia, tudo bem?

    Good morning, how are you?

  • Como está a manhã?

    How is the morning?

  • Tudo bem hoje de manhã?

    All good this morning?

Cultural Tip

In Brazil, the most common morning greeting is “Bom dia”. Adding “Tudo bem?” after it is very natural. Using “Tudo bem esta manhã?” is perfectly understood but sounds a bit more colloquial and is often heard among younger speakers. Remember not to add an accent to “esta”; writing “está” would change the meaning to “Is everything good this morning?”.
