Cultural Tip

In Brazilian Portuguese, "gente" is a very common way to refer to a group of people, even mixed‑gender groups. Grammatically it is singular and feminine, so verbs and adjectives stay in the third‑person singular and feminine form (está, convidada). Avoid switching to the plural form "estão" or the masculine "convidados" unless you replace "gente" with a noun like "pessoas" or "amigos".
