Hi.. I saw online that in Portuguese one can say "Tenho saudade de ti" to mean "I miss you." I know in Brazil they mostly use voce and not tu or ti, right? But in Portugal can one say "tenho saudade de ti?" Thanks! =)

Hi !

It depends on the city. There are many different ways of speaking in Brasil, I mean, different expressions and sometimes the same word means another thing in another city. If you go to a city called São Paulo, everybody will say : Eu tenho saudade de você. If you go to a city called Santos, that is less than an hour from São Paulo, you will hear people saying , instead of " você ", they are going to hear : " tu " and for example, if you go to the south of Brasil, you are going to hear " tu ". In a city called Curitiba, the portuguese is very well spoken.The accent is very good and better to understand if you study portuguese.
In Portugal, the grammar is very well spoken. In Sâo Paulo is full of slangs and words not perfectly spoken they short all the words and give slangs and new invented words all the time.
You can compare Portugal to England ( grammar correctly spoken and written) In Brasil, some cities like São Paulo and others are full of slangs and shortened words like in the US.

I hope I can help you !
