- Your friend lent you a charger. Which abbreviation would you text to say "thanks"?
Answer: obg
Obg is the common texting short form of obrigado or obrigada, meaning "thanks". Pfv is tempting because it is also a polite word, but it stands for por favor, which means "please".
- A friend texts: "blz, te vejo amanhã!" What does it mean?
Answer: Okay, see you tomorrow!
Blz is short for beleza, which in casual chat means "okay" or "cool". Amanhã means "tomorrow". Do not confuse it with de manhã, which means "in the morning", so "see you this morning" is wrong.
- A friend texts you: "vc vem hj?" What does this message mean?
Answer: Are you coming today?
In texting, vc stands for você and hj stands for hoje, so the message asks "Are you coming today?" It does not mean "now". That would be agr, short for agora.
- Which text correctly means "See you on the weekend, hugs!"?
Answer: Te vejo no fds, abs!
Fds stands for fim de semana. Its gender comes from fim, which is masculine, so it takes no (em + o). Na is tempting because semana is feminine. Abs means abraços (hugs), while obs means observação (note).
- Complete the casual text to a friend: "Oi! Vc ___ bem?"
Answer: tá
Vc means você, which takes the verb form está. In casual texting, está is shortened to tá, so the text reads "Vc tá bem?" Tô is the shortened form of estou, which goes with eu, not with você.
