Cultural Tip
In Brazilian Portuguese, “Claro” can be used both informally among friends and politely in professional settings. Pairing it with a comma, as in the example, signals a brief pause that mirrors natural speech rhythm. Remember that the reflexive pronoun “se” stays attached to the verb in written form, but in fast spoken Brazilian Portuguese you may hear it after the verb (e.g., “os treinadores especializam‑se”).
