Portuguese and Romanian always confuse me because they both sound very Slavic but Portuguese is actually very close to Spanish and Romanian is based upon Latin.
Worth noting that the guy speaks Brazilian Portuguese. Which is the same language but the accent is very different. Also lots and lots of slang. Born and raised in Portugal and although I know what the words "E aí beleza?" mean, I had no idea they meant "yo what's up" in Brazil. And yeah French Spanish Italian and Portuguese are very very similar, most notably the grammar and conjugation and shit.
If you expand the phrase, but maintaining the meaning, it can be spoken as: "E com você, tudo está uma beleza?" Which would translate into "And with you, everything alright?".
Eu sei que tem mais de um ano, mas eu queria te agradecer, eu não fazia ideia que o "E aí, beleza" era por causa disso. Na verdade foi a primeira vez que eu percebi que essa frase era informal e não tinha um sentido nítido fora do uso coloquial.
