Eles te dá tranquilidade.
The verb must agree with the plural subject ‘Eles’; use ‘dão’ not ‘dá’.
Eles dão‑te tranquilidade.
In European Portuguese the clitic usually follows the verb: ‘dão‑te’. In Brazil, ‘te dão’ is correct.
Eles te dão tranquilo.
Do not confuse the noun with the adjective ‘tranquilo’; the sentence needs the noun to express ‘tranquility’.

Cultural Tip
In Brazilian Portuguese, 'tranquilidade' is often used to talk about mental calm rather than literal quiet. It’s common to hear it in contexts like ‘Isso me dá tranquilidade’ (That gives me peace of mind). The clitic pronoun ‘te’ is placed before the verb in Brazil, while in European Portuguese you might hear ‘dão‑te’. Keep the informal ‘te’ only with people you know well; use ‘lhe’ for formal situations.
