✕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’.

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.
