✕Common Mistakes
Se justo com os outros membros.
‘se’ is a reflexive pronoun, not the imperative of ‘ser’. Use ‘sê’ (with accent) for the command.
Sê justo com os outro membros.
Both the adjective and the noun must be plural to match ‘membros’.
Sê justa com os outros membros.
The adjective must stay masculine singular because it refers to the implied ‘tu’ (you), not to a feminine noun.

Cultural Tip
In Portuguese‑speaking cultures, fairness (justiça) is a core value in both family and professional settings. While ‘sê’ is informal and used with ‘tu’, many regions (especially Brazil) prefer the formal ‘seja’ when speaking to strangers or in a workplace. Adjust the level of formality according to your audience to avoid sounding too casual.
