Etymology[edit]

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

Interjection[edit]

-festa

  1. happy holidays!

Usage notes[edit]

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