✕Common Mistakes

  • Sim, por favor, mostre seu cartão de embarque.

    ‘Mostre’ is the formal command; using it in an informal setting sounds overly stiff.

  • Sim, por favor, mostra seus cartões de embarque.

    ‘Seus’ is plural; the noun ‘cartão’ is singular, so the correct possessive is ‘seu’.

  • Sim por favor mostra seu cartão de embarque.

    The comma after ‘por favor’ is optional but helps the rhythm; omitting it can make the phrase sound rushed.

↔Alternatives

  • Claro, aqui está meu cartão de embarque.

  • Com licença, pode me mostrar o cartão de embarque?

    Excuse me, could you show me the boarding pass?

Cultural Tip

In Brazil, adding ‘por favor’ is essential for politeness, even in short requests. The informal imperative ‘mostra’ is used with peers or younger people; with airline staff you would normally use the formal ‘mostre’. Also, many Brazilians say ‘bilhete de embarque’ instead of ‘cartão de embarque’, both are understood.
