✕Common Mistakes
Sim, fica a vontade agora, por favor.

Sim, fique à vontade agora, por favor.
Using *fique* changes the register to formal; *fica* is preferred in informal contexts.

Cultural Tip
In Brazil, *fica à vontade* is a very common way to give permission. Adding *por favor* after the invitation adds extra politeness, but native speakers often drop it in casual settings. Remember the accent on *vontade*; writing *vontade* without the accent is a frequent mistake.
