Tips for Portuguese ↔ English meetings
- The voice is Brazilian Portuguese. SottMeet speaks Brazilian Portuguese. It understands European and African Portuguese when people talk; only the voice it speaks with is Brazilian.
- Vocabulary differs. Brazil and Portugal use different words (celular / telemóvel, ônibus / autocarro). Say brand and product names clearly once.
- Money and numbers. Portuguese writes R$ 1.500,00 where English writes 1,500.00. Say the currency (reais, euros, dollars) with every amount in negotiations.
- Você or o senhor. English has no formal “you”; the translation picks the form from context. Titles and surnames keep it formal.
