✕Common Mistakes
E você, o que vêm agora?
"Vêm" is third‑person plural (they come). The subject is singular (you), so use "vem".
E tu, o que vem agora?
Mixing "tu" with the Brazilian‑style "você" can sound inconsistent; choose one pronoun throughout the sentence.
E você, o que vem agora mesmo?
Adding "mesmo" changes the nuance to "right now" and can sound overly urgent; keep the original for a neutral tone.

Cultural Tip
In Brazil, "você" is the default second‑person pronoun in most regions, but in the South and Portugal people may prefer "tu". The phrase is informal; avoid it in formal business emails unless you have a very relaxed relationship with the recipient.
