Ask a focused question so a colleague can give specific, useful feedback on your work.

The short answer

Ask whether a colleague can review a specific document or task. A focused request is easier to answer than “Can you give me feedback?” without context.

Request feedback on one specific task

Use revisar (review) or dar uma olhada (take a look) in a professional but conversational setting.

Você pode revisar este documento?

Could you review this document?

Queria saber o que você achou da proposta.

I’d like to know what you thought of the proposal.

Tem um ponto que eu poderia melhorar?

Is there one thing I could improve?

Ask a follow-up without getting defensive

If feedback is unclear, ask for an example or a suggestion. The goal is to understand the point, not to defend the first draft immediately.

You can acknowledge the comment and ask what change would make the work clearer or more useful.

Você pode dar um exemplo?

Could you give an example?

O que você mudaria primeiro?

What would you change first?

Entendi. Vou revisar essa parte.

I understand. I’ll review that part.

Confirm the next step

After the conversation, repeat the action and deadline in your own words. This helps both people leave with the same expectation.

For discussing deadlines and appointments at work, continue with our separate scheduling guide.

Então, envio a nova versão até sexta.

So I’ll send the new version by Friday.

Você prefere que eu ajuste o texto ou o gráfico?

Would you prefer that I adjust the text or the chart?

Obrigado pelo retorno.

Thanks for the feedback.

Put it into practice

Ask for feedback on one specific task, request an example if needed, and repeat the next step and deadline.
