Cultural Tip
In Brazil, breakfast (café da manhã) is usually light: coffee, fresh fruit, pão de queijo, or a simple buttered roll. Asking about who makes it can be a friendly way to discuss sharing household duties, but be aware that in many families the task is traditionally done by the person who prepares the coffee. Using “você” is informal but perfectly acceptable among friends and family; in more formal settings you might use “o senhor/a senhora”.
