✕Common Mistakes
Sim, tem fita adesiva resistente.
‘Tem’ is third‑person singular; the correct form for ‘we have’ is ‘temos’. Using ‘tem’ would imply ‘he/she/it has’.
Sim, temos fita adesiva resistênte.
The accent is misplaced; the correct spelling is ‘resistente’ without an accent.
Sim, temos fita adesivo resistente.
‘Adesivo’ is masculine; because *fita* is feminine, the adjective must be ‘adesiva’.

Claro, temos fita adesiva de alta resistência.
Sure, we have high‑strength adhesive tape.
Temos, sim, fita adesiva resistente.

Cultural Tip
In Brazil, *fita adesiva* is the everyday term for any kind of sticky tape, from school‑room cellophane to industrial‑grade duct tape. Adding *resistente* signals that the tape can handle heavier loads, which is a common request in hardware stores and office supply shops. Keep the tone friendly and concise; a simple ‘Sim, temos…’ is perfectly polite in most commercial settings.
