Cultural Tip
In Brazil, 'envio prioritário' is the term used by the national postal service (Correios) and most courier companies for their expedited service. While 'pra' is perfectly natural in everyday conversation, in formal written communication you’ll often see the full 'para'. Also, note that the adjective 'prioritário' always matches the gender of the noun – 'envio' is masculine, so the adjective stays masculine as shown.
