Cultural Tip
In Brazil, retailers frequently advertise "promoções" (time‑limited offers) and "descontos" (price cuts). The informal imperative "procura" is common among friends and on social media, but in a formal advertisement you might prefer "procure" (formal) or "busque". Also, many stores have "Black Friday"‑style events where both words appear together, so learners should be ready to spot them in flyers and apps.
