Cultural Tip
In Portugal and Brazil, medical consultations often start with open‑ended questions, but when a precise inventory is needed the professional will use the imperative form. Remember that ‘teus’ is informal; in a formal setting (e.g., with an older patient) you should say ‘seus sintomas’. Also, Portuguese speakers tend to appreciate concise, direct instructions in a clinical environment.
