Cultural Tip

In Brazil, confirming attendance (RSVP) is called ‘confirmar presença’. When asking about confirmations, it’s common to use the polite ‘você’ even with friends, but in the South and some regions ‘tu’ may appear. Also, remember that ‘confirmações’ can refer to system messages (e.g., email receipts) as well as event RSVPs.
