Do people say "thank you" very often in Brazil?
We have an exchange student from Brazil staying with us. He said that most people in Brazil do not say thank you very often like they do in the USA. Sometimes people here in the USA think he is rude for not saying it. Has anyone else heard of this difference between Brazil and the USA?

Never noticed it. My husband's store invites a bunch of Brazilian students to work during their "summer" break every year. And I think they are very polite. But then, they are in a service industry, and they may be trained to say "thank you" more. I didn't notice anything of the sort when I was in Portugal, either. But then, different country...the language and culture don't always transfer that completely.
