Problem: Article: ” The perfect place to start greeting Portuguese is with greetings — learn these and you'll be able to say hello and goodbye to the Portuguese speakers you meet. Below are some of the most common words used for greetings:   Hello: Olá (oh-la) Hi or Hey: Oi (oy) — informal Goodbye: Adeus (ah-deuzh) Bye: Tchau (cha-oh) — informal Note that some of these words are marked with the label "informal." In Portuguese, it can be considered rude to use informal language with people you don't know, people who are older than you, and people in positions of authority. These aren't curse words — just words that aren't very dignified. A good rule of thumb is: don't use informal words with people you aren't close buddies with. Just like English, there are many different ways to greet people in Portuguese. These greetings allow you to remark on the time of day when you say hello:  Good morning: Bom dia (Boh-n dih-ahor Boh-n djih-ah in Brazil) — actually means "good day," but it´s used mostly before noon or before the noon meal. Good afternoon: Boa tarde (Boh-ah tahr-jia) — used after noon or after the midday meal until twilight. Good evening or good night: Boa noite (Boh-ah no-ee-tay) — used from twilight until the morning. Portuguese is no different than most other languages — after you say hello to someone, it's common to ask how they're doing. Use these easy phrases to ask about the people you meet:  How are you?: Como está? (Coh-moh esh-tah? or Coh-moh es-tah? in Brazil) How's it going?: Como vai? ("Coh-moh vye?" (rhymes with "eye")) — informal What's up? (Only in Brazil): E aí? (E-aye (pronounced as one syllable)) — informal Is all well?: Tudo bem? ("Too-doo beng?") — informal Once you ask someone how they're doing, odds are that, at the very least, they'll ask the same to you. Use these responses to tell people who you are and how you're doing:  Well / very well: Bem / muito bem (Baing / moo-ee-toh baing) Bad / very bad: Mal / muito mal (Mao / moo-ee-toh mao) More or less / so-so: Mais ou menos (Ma-eece oh meh-nos) My name is...: Me chamo [your name] (Mee sham-oh) Nice to meet you: Prazer em conhecê-lo/a (Prazh-air eh con-yo-see-lo/la) Note that conhecê-lo/a can end with either an o or an a. In these cases, when you're talking to a man, use o, and when you're talking to a woman, use a. We'll see this several more times in this article.

Then place the bowl back in the water This is to boil off chemicals such as methanol and ethanol. You can do this by inverting the pot's lid and filling it with ice. When hot steam hits the cold lid, it will create condensation. As the water continues to boil, it will cause steam to rise and condense on the pot's lid. The condensation will drip into the bowl. Allow the distillation process to continue until you have enough distilled water in the bowl for your needs. This bowl water will be hot but should not boil. If the bowl water begins to boil, turn down the heat on the stove so that just the pot water is boiling.  Use caution when doing this so you do not burn yourself.
