Cultural Tip

In Brazilian Portuguese, *ótimo* is a slightly formal way to say something is great. In casual conversation you might hear *bom demais* or *show* instead. When you insert an English title, keep the original spelling and pronounce it as you would in English; Portuguese speakers often switch seamlessly between languages in such contexts.
