obrigado
Lisbon's grateful word
Obrigado is Portuguese for "thank you," used by male speakers.
Female speakers say obrigada, matching the gender of the speaker rather than the person being thanked.
English speakers encounter it when traveling in Portugal or Brazil, or in Portuguese-speaking communities: Obrigado, that was delicious.
