Cultural Tip
In Brazilian Portuguese, the verb 'clicar' is often preferred for computer actions, while 'selecionar' sounds a bit more formal or generic. If you’re addressing a tech‑savvy audience, 'clique em' may feel more natural. Also, keep the quoted button label exactly as it appears on screen to avoid confusion.
