✕Common Mistakes

  • Este produto é em promoção?

    Use "está" (estar) for temporary states; "é" (ser) would imply a permanent characteristic.

  • Este produto está em promocao?

    Do not omit the tilde; "promocao" changes the pronunciation and is considered a spelling error.

  • Esta produto está em promoção?

    If the noun were feminine, you would need "Esta". Using "Este" with a feminine noun is a gender agreement mistake.

Cultural Tip

In Brazil, "promoção" usually refers to a limited‑time discount, often advertised with bright signs. "Em oferta" is a synonym that sounds slightly more informal. When speaking to a salesperson, a polite tone (e.g., "Com licença, este produto está em promoção?") is appreciated.
