Real-Life Conversation
Making Plans With Brazilian Friends
Olá! Vamos conversar. Brazilian plans float until they confirm. Learning to read the floating phase prevents a lot of disappointment.
Soft openers
Bora marcar alguma coisa. A gente devia sair. Quando der, me avisa. None of these are commitments. They are invitations to confirm later.
Firm confirmations
Combinado. Tá marcado. Te busco às oito. Once these phrases appear, the plan is real. Until then, expect movement.
