Is it said differently in some regions?

In Brazilian Portuguese, you can use the phrase Vamos torcer to say 'let's hope'.

In some regions of Portugal and Brazil, saying se Deus quiser can be used ironically to imply that something is highly unlikely to happen.
The word Deus in Portuguese shares a common ancestor with the English word 'sky', tracing back to the Proto-Indo-European root *dyew-, which relates to the brightness of the heavens.
In many Portuguese-speaking cultures, saying se Deus quiser can sometimes act as a polite way to end a conversation about future plans without making a firm commitment.
