Cultural Tip
In Portugal and Brazil, people often use the informal possessive 'teu' with friends, but with strangers or older people they switch to the more formal 'seu'. Also, Portuguese speakers love to talk about music, so asking about a favorite artist is a great ice‑breaker. Remember that 'artista' can refer to singers, bands, or even visual artists, so you may need to clarify the context.
