✕Common Mistakes
Deixe eu ver pra você.
‘Deixe eu’ mixes the formal imperative ‘deixe’ with the informal pronoun ‘eu’; native speakers say ‘deixa eu’ in casual speech.
Deixa eu ver para você.
In informal contexts ‘para’ sounds stiff; use the contracted ‘pra’ to match the casual tone.
Deixa eu ver pra voce.
Missing the accent changes the word to ‘voce’, which is a spelling error.

Cultural Tip
‘Deixa eu…’ is a hallmark of informal Brazilian speech. In a more formal setting you’d replace it with ‘Posso ver…’ or ‘Vou verificar para o senhor/a senhora’. Also, keep in mind that ‘pra’ is colloquial; switch to ‘para’ when you need a neutral or polite register.
