Cultural Tip
In Portugal the informal ‘tu’ is common among friends, family, and sometimes with familiar professionals (e.g., your family doctor). If you’re unsure about the level of formality, switch to the formal ‘você’ and use ‘sua’ instead of ‘tua’. Also, Portuguese speakers often prefer the verb agendar when talking about appointments, but marcar is perfectly acceptable and widely used.
