Cultural Tip
In Brazil, directly asking ‘Você concorda…?’ is perfectly acceptable in business meetings, but adding a softener such as ‘por favor’ or ‘se não for incômodo’ can make the request sound more courteous. Also, note the difference between ‘essa’ (near the listener) and ‘esta’ (near the speaker); both are correct here, but ‘esta’ is slightly more formal.
