Common Mistakes

  • Temos passe diário?

    Use *Tem* (third‑person singular) when asking the staff; *Temos* means ‘we have’ and is incorrect in this context.

  • Tem o passe diário?

    Adding the definite article (*o*) makes the question sound like you’re referring to a specific pass, which is not usual when you don’t know if it exists.

  • Tem passe diária?

    The adjective must agree in gender with *passe* (masculine), so *diário* is correct; *diária* would be a gender error.

Alternatives

  • Há passe diário?

    Is there a daily pass?

  • Existe um passe diário?

    Is there a daily pass?

  • Você tem um passe diário?

    Do you have a daily pass?

Cultural Tip

In Brazil and Portugal the verb *ter* is commonly used in this way to ask about availability. The form *Tem* is polite and neutral; avoid *Temos* (first‑person plural) unless you are speaking about yourself and others. Adding the article (*o passe diário*) sounds more like you are referring to a specific pass you already know about, which can sound less natural in a generic inquiry.
