✕Common Mistakes

Missing the personal article ‘a’; while understandable, many native speakers expect it in casual speech.
Eu sou a Jessica da Tech Solutions.
The subject pronoun ‘eu’ is redundant because ‘sou’ already indicates the speaker; it sounds overly formal in spoken Portuguese.
Sou o Jessica da Tech Solutions.
Using the masculine article ‘o’ with a female name is a gender error.

Cultural Tip
The personal article ‘a’ before a female name is common in informal Brazilian Portuguese, especially in the Southeast. In very formal business emails you may drop the article and say ‘Sou Jessica da Tech Solutions’ or simply ‘Jessica da Tech Solutions’. Also, remember that the verb ‘ser’ (sou) is used for permanent identity; if you want to stress a temporary role, you could use ‘estou’ (e.g., ‘Estou na Tech Solutions’).
