Cultural Tip
In Brazil it is common to confirm reservations a day or two in advance, especially for popular restaurants and hotels. While "você" is widely accepted, in very formal contexts (e.g., speaking to a hotel manager) you might use "o senhor"/"a senhora" for extra politeness. Adding "por favor" before the question ("Por favor, você confirmou a reserva?") softens the tone even more.
