Cultural Tip
In Brazil, "tudo certo" is a very common, informal way to signal that a plan is on track or that a problem has been resolved. It can be used as a stand‑alone answer or after a brief affirmation like "Sim". Avoid using it in very formal written contexts; opt for "Tudo está em ordem" instead.
