Clica (Clicar)
'Clica' is the informal singular imperative form of the verb 'clicar' (to click), used when addressing 'tu'. For a more formal address ('você'), it would be 'Clique'.
no (em + o)
'No' is a contraction of the preposition 'em' (in/on) and the masculine definite article 'o' (the). The verb 'clicar' typically takes 'em' when referring to what is being clicked.
que
'Que' is a relative pronoun meaning 'that' or 'which', connecting the noun 'link' to the clause describing it ('está no teu e-mail').
está (Estar)
'Está' is the third-person singular present tense of the verb 'estar' (to be), used for location or temporary states. It correctly indicates where the link is located.
teu (Teu/Tua)
'Teu' is the masculine singular possessive adjective for 'your' when addressing 'tu' (informal singular 'you'). It agrees in gender with 'e-mail' (masculine).

✕Common Mistakes
Clica o link que está no teu e-mail.
The verb 'clicar' (to click) in Portuguese usually requires the preposition 'em' (on/in), which contracts with the article 'o' to form 'no' (masculine) or 'na' (feminine). So, 'clicar no link' is correct.
Clica no link que é no teu e-mail.
Using 'ser' (é) for location is incorrect here. 'Estar' (está) is used for temporary locations or states, which applies to the link being 'in' the email.
Clica no link que está no seu e-mail.
While 'seu' is grammatically correct, 'teu' is more common in European Portuguese for informal 'your' when addressing 'tu'. 'Seu' is often used with 'você' or can refer to 'his/her/their'.

Cultural Tip
In Portugal, the informal 'tu' form is very common in everyday interactions, including digital communication, especially among younger people or in less formal contexts. Therefore, 'teu' (your, informal singular) is frequently used. In Brazil, 'você' is more prevalent, and thus 'seu' would be the more common choice. This phrase is a good example of how direct commands are given in Portuguese digital contexts.
