Cultural Tip
In Brazil the official currency is the real (R$). When you ask about "dólares" you are usually referring to a foreign‑exchange transaction, so it’s polite to mention the current "cotação" (exchange rate). Also, avoid using the English word "dollar" in formal Portuguese; the correct term is "dólar" (singular) or "dólares" (plural).
