✕Common Mistakes
Sim, faz isso, por favor.
In formal contexts the imperative should be faça instead of faz.
Sim, faz isso.
Leaving out por favor makes the request sound abrupt.
Sim, faz isto, por favor.
Using isto instead of isso changes the reference; isso refers to something already mentioned.

Sim, pode fazer isso, por favor.
Yes, you can do that, please.
Cultural Tip
In Brazil, adding por favor after a command is a sign of politeness, even among friends. If you’re speaking to someone you don’t know well or in a more formal setting, switch the informal faz to the formal faça (“Sim, faça isso, por favor”).
