    Another quick tip: just like "You're welcome" is slowly been replaced in colloquial speech by phrases like "no problem" or "no worries", I've found that there's 2 pretty common expressions, mainly used amongst the younger generations, that also replace the portuguese counterpart of "You're welcome", i,e. "De nada":
    "Sem problema" (which roughly translates to "no problem" or "no worries") and "Na boa" (a less formal option that means something along the lines of "it's all good" )

    • @dudanunesbleff

    I love the “posso?” tip. I lived in Mexico City and it’s a society of extreme politeness. Many of the tips here translate to how daily life is lived there. For example, it’s common before stepping into someone’s house or if someone is blocking an entrance to smile and say “Puedo?” Same meaning, may I (please is inferred)? Another example is Obrigada, Eu. If you buy something at a shop and tell the owner or person who works there “Thank you” they say, “No (please), on the contrary.” Gracias…no, al contrario. Same sentiment as “Obrigada, eu.”

    The string of ways we can express instant perception of something (or pretending we do) is rather abundant; so, alongside 'percebi' and 'entendi', you might try 'compreendi' or '(es)tou a ver'. The last one translates to your very much common 'I see...'

    Em ambientes formais percebo que é mais usado “entender” em vez de “perceber”. Mesmo no vídeo que a federação portuguesa fez com a federação espanhola de futebol, o verbo usado em português é entender, também em publicidade na televisão é mais comum encontrar o verbo entender. Então acho que em Portugal usa-se entender e perceber e no Brasil usa-se perceber apenas para situações específicas

      No Brasil, não é comum o uso do verbo perceber para indicar a compreensão de algo, seja em um ambiente formal ou informal. Cá usamos: ter ciência, compreender e entender. Ademais, julgo que se usar perceber, as pessoas não entenderão de imediato o que está a dizer.

    Obrigado, senhora Liz! Uma pergunta : quando você diz "obrigado nós", não é preciso dizer "obrigados nós?"
    (and yes, great video, muito útil!)

    Hi Liz! I notice that business use the feminine form obrigada, and sometime male shop clerks do to. Is that a general thing? Is that because they are speaking on behalf of the empresa (feminine)?
