✕Common Mistakes
Claro, aqui tem.
Using *tem* (third‑person) with *tu* is a mismatch; *tens* is the correct form for informal *you*.
Claro, aqui está.
While *aqui está* is correct, swapping it without adjusting the tone can make the sentence sound more formal than intended.
Claro aqui tens.
Missing the comma changes the rhythm and can make the phrase sound rushed.

Cultural Tip
In Portugal the *tu* form (*tens*) is common in informal speech, while in Brazil most speakers would say *tem* with *você*. If you’re learning Brazilian Portuguese, you’ll hear “Claro, aqui está” far more often. Also, the word *claro* can be softened with a smile to avoid sounding overly blunt.
