Common Mistakes

  • Podemos nos passar as tarifas atuais.

    ‘Nos’ means ‘us’; the sentence is about giving something *to* the listener, so the correct pronoun is ‘te’ (or ‘lhe’ in formal speech).

  • Podemos te passar‑emos as tarifas atuais.

    After ‘poder’, the verb stays in the infinitive. Using the future ‘passaremos’ changes the meaning to ‘we will hand you…’ which is a different tense.

  • Podemos te passar as tarifa atual.

    Both the article and the adjective must agree in gender and number with the noun.

Alternatives

  • Podemos lhe enviar as tarifas atuais.

    We can send you the current rates.

  • Posso lhe passar as tarifas atuais?

    Can I give you the current rates?

  • Vou te passar as tarifas atuais.

    I’ll hand you the current rates.

  • Aqui estão as tarifas atuais.

    Here are the current rates.

Cultural Tip

In Brazil, ‘te’ is the informal second‑person pronoun and is common in customer‑service chats that aim for a friendly tone. In more formal contexts—or in Portugal—use ‘lhe’ instead of ‘te’ to keep the register polite. Also, remember that ‘tarifas’ can refer to phone, electricity, or service fees, so the surrounding context matters.
