Cultural Tip
In Brazil the informal imperative ‘confere’ is common among friends, colleagues, or in UI copy aimed at a younger audience. In more formal contexts (e.g., corporate emails) you would use the formal imperative ‘confira’. Also, note that many Brazilians still write ‘e‑mail’ with a hyphen, though ‘email’ is increasingly accepted.
