✕Common Mistakes
Sim, está logo ali na esquina.
For permanent locations you can also use ‘está’, but ‘fica’ is preferred for directions.
Sim, fica, logo, ali na esquina.
Do not separate ‘logo’ and ‘ali’ with a comma; they work together as an adverbial phrase.
Sim, fica logo ali no esquina.
Avoid using ‘no esquina’; the correct preposition‑article contraction is ‘na’ (feminine).
↔Alternatives

Yes, it’s right there at the corner.

Sure, it’s right on the corner.
Com certeza, está logo na esquina.

Cultural Tip
In Brazil, giving directions often includes the word ‘logo’ to stress that the place is very close. When you say ‘na esquina’, people usually picture the exact corner where two streets meet, not just a nearby block. In more formal contexts you might replace ‘fica’ with ‘está’, but both are perfectly natural in everyday conversation.
