Tips to Remember:
• Associate “encantado” with the English word “enchanted”—imagine a fairytale scene where you’re so charmed by what you see that you feel truly delighted.

• It is often used to express pleasure upon meeting someone—for example, “Encantado de conhecê-lo” (“Pleased to meet you”).

Other Synonyms:
• Maravilhado (amazed)
• Fascinado (fascinated)
• Extasiado (ecstatic)

• There is no widely used slang meaning for “encantado” in everyday speech.
