Common Mistakes

  • Claro, tem onde guardar a bagagem.

    Use "temos" (we have) because the subject is "nós" (we).

  • Claro, temos onde guardando a bagagem.

    After "temos" you need a noun phrase; the infinitive "guardar" is correct, but some learners mistakenly use a gerund "guardando".

  • Claro, temos onde guardar bagagem.

    If you refer to multiple pieces, you can say "as bagagens"; otherwise "a bagagem" is singular.

Alternatives

  • Sim, há um local para deixar a bagagem.

    Yes, there is a place to leave the luggage.

  • Temos um depósito para a sua bagagem.

    We have a storage room for your luggage.

  • Pode deixar a bagagem aqui, temos espaço.

    You can leave the luggage here, we have space.

Cultural Tip

In Brazil, many hotels and hostels offer a "guarda‑volumes" (luggage storage) service, often free for guests. It’s polite to thank the staff with a simple "Obrigado" (or "Obrigada" if you’re female). In more formal settings you might say "Temos um depósito para a sua bagagem" to sound extra courteous.
