    Missing the tilde on "manhã" changes the pronunciation and is considered a spelling error.

Cultural Tip

In Brazil and Portugal, "café da manhã" is the standard term for breakfast, and most mid‑range to upscale hotels provide a "serviço de quarto" (room service) that includes a simple continental breakfast. In smaller boutique hotels, the service may be limited to a menu of pastries and coffee, so it’s always good to ask exactly what is included.
