Answering the Phone
In Portugal, people answer the phone by saying "Estou?" (literally "I am?") or "Sim?" (Yes?). This is different from Brazilian Portuguese which uses "Alô."
The Verb Ligar (to call)
- Eu ligo — I call
- Tu ligas — You call
- Ele/Ela liga — He/She calls
- Nós ligamos — We call
Eu ligo-te mais tarde. — I'll call you later.
Asking Who Is Speaking
- Quem fala? — Who is speaking?
- Com quem deseja falar? — Who would you like to speak with?
- Posso falar com...? — May I speak with...?
Useful Phone Phrases
- Um momento, por favor. — One moment, please.
- Pode repetir? — Can you repeat?
- Vou passar a chamada. — I'll transfer the call.
- O número está errado. — The number is wrong.

आम गलतियाँ
Alô?Estou?In European Portuguese, 'Estou?' is used to answer the phone, not 'Alô' (which is Brazilian)
Eu chamo para ti.Eu ligo-te.'Ligar' means to call on the phone, not 'chamar' (which means to call/summon someone)
Quem é?Quem fala?On the phone, 'Quem fala?' (who speaks?) is the standard way to ask who is calling
Eu telefono-te.Eu ligo-te.While 'telefonar' exists, 'ligar' is far more common in everyday European Portuguese
O celularO telemóvel'Celular' is Brazilian Portuguese; in Portugal, use 'telemóvel' for mobile phone
