✕Common Mistakes

  • Há tem um link direto pra reservar?

    Avoid stacking two verbs for existence; choose either ‘há’ or ‘tem’ but not both.

  • Tem um link direto para reservar?

    In informal spoken Portuguese, ‘pra’ sounds natural; using ‘para’ can feel overly formal.

  • Link direto para reservar?

    Missing the verb ‘tem’ makes the sentence sound incomplete; you need a verb of existence.

Cultural Tip

‘Link’ is a borrowed English word that is fully accepted in modern Portuguese, especially online. The contraction ‘pra’ is informal; in business emails or official documents you should use ‘para’. Also, Brazilians often ask for a ‘link direto’ when they want to skip navigation steps and go straight to the booking page.
