Cultural Tip
In Brazilian Portuguese, using ‘como vamos lidar…’ is neutral and works both in formal meetings and informal team chats. If you need a more formal tone, you can replace ‘como’ with ‘de que maneira’ or add ‘por favor’ at the end. Remember that the verb ‘lidar’ is often paired with ‘com’, so omitting the preposition sounds unnatural.
