✕Common Mistakes

  • A gente vai conferir o status **de** você.

    The preposition ‘de’ does not convey ‘for’ in this context; use ‘para’ or its informal form ‘pra’.

  • A gente vai conferir o status pra **nos**.

    ‘Nos’ is a clitic pronoun; the correct construction is ‘para nós’ if you want to say ‘for us’, not ‘nos’ here.

↔Alternatives

  • Vamos verificar o status para você.

    We’ll verify the status for you.

  • Vou checar o status para você.

    I’ll check the status for you.

  • Deixe-me ver o status para você.

Cultural Tip

‘A gente’ is the go‑to informal pronoun for ‘we’ in Brazil; it sounds more relaxed than ‘nós’. The contraction ‘pra’ is common in spoken Portuguese but should be avoided in formal writing, where ‘para’ is preferred. Also, ‘status’ is an English loanword that has been fully naturalized, especially in business and tech contexts.
