Cultural Tip
‘A gente’ is the go‑to informal way to say ‘we’ in Brazil; it sounds friendlier than the formal ‘nós’. Because it takes third‑person singular verbs, remember to conjugate accordingly (e.g., ‘A gente vai’, not ‘A gente vamos’). The word ‘quiz’ is widely used in Brazilian Portuguese, especially in educational tech, and ‘online’ is commonly placed after the noun, just like in English.
