bô-festa

Macanese

Alternative forms

  • bôm-festa

Etymology

Probably from Portuguese boas festas rather than derived naturally in Macanese, since *bô is not used in regular Macanese speech.

Interjection

-festa

  1. happy holidays!

Usage notes

  • In written Macanese, the hyphen is very commonly used between the two words in "good"-type phrases and interjections.
