Cultural Tip
In Brazil, “Ok” is extremely common in everyday conversation, even in semi‑formal settings like a restaurant. If you want to sound a bit more polite, you can replace it with “Tudo bem” or “Certo”. Remember that “pessoas” is always feminine, so the number before it must be the feminine form “duas”, not the masculine “dois”.
