✕Common Mistakes
Ótimo, está ansioso para te ver.
“Está” is singular (he/she is). The subject is “nós”, so you need the plural form “estamos”.
Ótimo, estamos ansioso para te ver.
The adjective must agree in number with the subject. Use “ansiosos” for “nós”.
Ótimo, estamos ansiosos para ver você.
Both are correct, but mixing the clitic “te” with the full pronoun “você” is redundant. Choose one style.

Cultural Tip
In Brazil, “Ótimo” is a very common, upbeat response to a plan. While “ansiosos” is perfectly correct, many speakers prefer the more colloquial “mal podemos esperar” or “empolgados”. Remember that “te” is informal; with a formal “you” you would say “para o senhor/a senhora ver”.
