The short answer
Use Agradeço muito a proposta (I really appreciate the offer) to open warmly. If you are interested but still reviewing details, say Tenho interesse na vaga and then make your request or ask your question.
Thank the employer and show interest
Interest does not have to mean immediate acceptance. Separate your appreciation from the decision so your answer is clear.
Agradeço muito a proposta. Fiquei feliz com o convite.
I really appreciate the offer. I was happy to receive it.
Tenho interesse na vaga e gostaria de confirmar alguns detalhes.
I'm interested in the position and would like to confirm a few details.
Request time and specify when you will reply
Ask Posso dar uma resposta até sexta-feira? (May I give you an answer by Friday?). A specific date helps both sides plan. If the employer has a deadline, ask whether your requested review period is possible.
Use analisar a proposta for review the offer and condições por escrito for terms in writing. Read the complete offer and ask the employer about anything you do not understand.
Posso analisar a proposta e responder até amanhã à tarde?
May I review the offer and respond by tomorrow afternoon?
Você poderia me enviar as condições por escrito?
Could you send me the terms in writing?
Accept only after the details are clear
To accept, say Aceito a proposta para a vaga de… and repeat the role or start date. If a key point remains unclear, ask one focused question before confirming.
Keep a copy of the final written terms and follow the employer's process for the next steps. Language practice does not replace reviewing an employment agreement carefully.
Aceito a proposta para a vaga de designer e confirmo o início no dia 10.
I accept the offer for the designer position and confirm the start date as the 10th.
Antes de confirmar, você pode explicar como funciona o primeiro mês?
Before I confirm, could you explain how the first month works?
Put it into practice
Thank the employer, ask for written details, and give a specific date for your decision if you need time to review.
