Common Mistakes

  • Sim, você pode desconectar a qualquer momento.

    Missing the reflexive pronoun ‘se’; ‘desconectar’ without ‘se’ sounds like you are disconnecting something else, not yourself.

  • Sim, você pode se desconectar a qualquer tempo.

    ‘Tempo’ can be used, but ‘momento’ is the idiomatic choice for this context.

  • Sim, tu podes se desconectar a qualquer momento.

    ‘Podes’ is the 2nd‑person singular form used in Portugal; in Brazil we use ‘pode’ with ‘você’.

Alternatives

  • Claro, você tem a liberdade de se desconectar quando quiser.

    Sure, you have the freedom to disconnect whenever you want.

  • Sim, sinta‑se à vontade para se desconectar a qualquer hora.

    Yes, feel free to disconnect at any hour.

  • Com certeza, pode se desconectar a qualquer instante.

    Certainly, you can disconnect at any instant.

Cultural Tip

In Brazilian Portuguese, ‘sim’ is the most common way to affirm a statement. The phrase ‘a qualquer momento’ is very natural and slightly more formal than ‘a qualquer hora’, which is also acceptable. When speaking to a customer, adding a friendly tone (e.g., ‘Claro’ or ‘Com certeza’) can make the reassurance feel warmer.
