Cultural Tip
The verb curtir is very colloquial in Brazil and is used mainly among friends or in relaxed environments. In a formal context you would prefer gostar (e.g., "Você está gostando do evento?") or a more neutral expression like "O evento está sendo agradável?". Also, note that Brazilian Portuguese often drops the subject pronoun, so "Está curtindo o evento?" is perfectly natural in conversation.
