The Brazilian word for "greetings" is "Votos". However Brazilian is considered slang by most, the actual language is Portuguese. Other ways to greet people are "Tudo Bom? " which means "How are you? " and "ola" or "oi" or "alo" means hello but they are used in different context, because "alo" is more formal.
