Cultural Tip
Brazil’s climate ranges from tropical rainforests to semi‑arid regions, but many coastal cities (Rio de Janeiro, Salvador) are known for high humidity. In informal speech Brazilians love using “tá” instead of the full “está”. In formal settings—e.g., a news report or a business email—use the full verb form.
