Common Mistakes

  • O app te vai sugerir opções.

    In Brazilian Portuguese the clitic must precede the conjugated verb in the periphrastic future.

  • O app vai sugerir-te opções.

    The enclitic form after 'vai' is typical of European Portuguese, not the standard Brazilian usage.

  • O app vai te sugerir opção.

    The noun should agree in number; 'opções' is plural because several choices are expected.

Alternatives

    The application will suggest options for you.

    It will present some options.

  • Você receberá sugestões de opções.

Cultural Tip

In Brazil, 'app' is the everyday term for 'application', but in more formal contexts you might hear 'aplicativo'. Also, Brazilian Portuguese prefers the pre‑verb placement of clitic pronouns (te vai), whereas European Portuguese often uses the enclitic form (vai-te). Keep the informal tone consistent with the tech‑savvy audience of Speeek.
