Cultural Tip
In Brazilian Portuguese, ‘coisas’ is a very generic word; native speakers often replace it with a more specific noun (e.g., ‘livros’, ‘roupas’) when the context is clear. Also, the verb ‘ser’ is preferred over ‘estar’ for permanent ownership, so never say ‘Estão todas as suas coisas?’ which would sound odd.
