Common Mistakes

  • Qual opções de seguro temos?

    ‘Qual’ is singular; the correct form for a plural noun is ‘Quais’ or the neutral ‘Que’.

  • Que opções de seguro tem?

    If you’re speaking for yourself and others, use ‘temos’. ‘Tem’ is third‑person singular and would be used when asking someone else about their options.

Cultural Tip

In Brazil, insurance discussions are usually formal and may involve several types – health (saúde), car (automóvel), life (vida) and property (residencial). When asking for options, it’s polite to start with ‘Que’ or ‘Quais’ and to use the verb ‘temos’ if you’re speaking on behalf of a group. Avoid overly casual language in professional settings; a brief thank‑you after receiving the list (e.g., “Obrigado pela explicação”) is appreciated.
