Cultural Tip
In Brazil, weekends are often filled with family gatherings, barbecues (churrasco) and outings. Asking if they’re ‘relaxantes’ shows you care about the person’s balance between social life and rest. In more formal settings, you might replace ‘relaxantes’ with ‘tranquilos’ to sound slightly more polite.
