Cultural Tip
In Brazil, confirmations are most often sent by email or SMS. It’s polite to wait a few minutes before contacting customer service to ask if the confirmation arrived. In business settings, stick with ‘você’; the regional ‘tu’ is limited to the South and some Northeastern states and can sound overly informal.
