✕Common Mistakes
Está vendo a reclamação que fiz.
"Está vendo" is third‑person singular; it would mean “he/she is seeing”. Use "estou vendo" or the colloquial "tô vendo" for first‑person.
Tô vendo a reclamação que fazer.
The verb must be conjugated to match the subject. "Fazer" is infinitive; the correct form is "fiz" (I did).
Tô vendo a reclamação que eu fiz.
Adding "eu" is redundant but not wrong; however learners often over‑use pronouns in Portuguese. The shorter version sounds more natural.

I am seeing the complaint that I made.
Estou revisando a reclamação que escrevi.

Cultural Tip
The contraction "tô" is typical of casual, spoken Brazilian Portuguese and is common among friends, on social media, or in informal videos. In formal contexts—emails, official letters, or presentations—use the full form "estou". Also, Brazilians often use "reclamação" for consumer or service complaints, while a workplace grievance might be called "queixa" or "denúncia".
