There is variation regarding the gender-based use the interjection. Some speakers conjugate the interjection and use solely obrigado when the speaker is male, and obrigada when female. Additionally, obrigados should be used when speaking in the name of a group (either only males, or males and females), and obrigadas when speaking in the name of a group of females. These two forms are rarely used. Other speakers make no distinction between obrigado and obrigada and use the interjections interchangeably.
