Cultural Tip

In Brazil, many supermarkets and some retail stores offer "dinheiro de volta" (cash‑back) when you pay with a debit card. The amount is usually limited (e.g., up to 200 reais) and may incur a small fee. Not all merchants provide this service, so it’s polite to ask first. Using the informal "Dá pra" signals a friendly, casual tone; in a formal setting (e.g., speaking with a bank manager) you’d prefer "É possível".
