At the Supermarket in Brazil

Olá! Vamos conversar. A Brazilian supermarket is a low-pressure way to practice Portuguese. The staff are patient, the words repeat, and the categories are visual.

Sections of the store

Hortifruti for produce. Açougue for meat. Padaria for the in-store bakery. Frios for cold cuts and cheese. Bebidas for drinks. Limpeza for cleaning supplies.

At checkout

Caixa is the cashier. Quer sacola is the bag question, often with a small fee. Tem cartão fidelidade asks about loyalty cards. Just say não, obrigado if you do not.
