Cultural Tip
The contraction 'tô' is typical of informal spoken Brazilian Portuguese and is rarely used in formal writing or in Portugal, where speakers would say 'estou'. When you need a more formal tone, replace 'tô' with 'estou'. Also, 'detalhes' often appears in business or technical contexts, so using this phrase signals that you are paying attention to the finer points of a task.
