Cultural Tip
In Brazil, ‘calendário’ often refers to a wall or printed calendar, while ‘agenda’ is the word most people use for a personal or digital schedule. Both are understood, but ‘agenda’ sounds a bit more informal and tech‑savvy. Remember to keep the article gender‑matched: ‘o calendário’, not ‘a calendário’. Accents are crucial – ‘calendário’ without the acute accent on the “a” is considered a spelling error.
