Portuguese Phrase
Quando vou receber meus resultados?
Meaning
The sentence asks about the timing of when the speaker will get their results, typically referring to exam scores, medical tests, or any other evaluated outcome. It uses the periphrastic future (vou + infinitive) which is common in spoken Brazilian Portuguese.
When to use
Use this question when you are waiting for a result that has already been requested, such as a university admission test, a job application, a medical exam, or a language proficiency test. It is informal enough for everyday conversation but still perfectly acceptable in semi‑formal contexts like speaking with a teacher or a receptionist.

Cultural Tip
In Brazil, the periphrastic future (vou + infinitive) is preferred in casual speech, while the simple future (receberei) sounds a bit more formal or written. Also, adding "por favor" before the question can make it sound more polite, especially when speaking to authority figures like doctors or professors.
