Cultural Tip

In Brazilian Portuguese, 'muitas vezes' is a very common way to express frequency, similar to 'often' in English. It is slightly more formal than 'às vezes', which can be used interchangeably in casual speech. Remember that adjectives must match the gender of the noun they describe, so 'rápida' is required because 'opção' is feminine.
