Find your way
You have just arrived and need to find a place or confirm the route.
Ask one clear question, then confirm what you understood.
- Onde fica o banheiro?
- Where is the bathroom?
Add Com licença (Excuse me) before asking someone for help.
- É longe daqui?
- Is it far from here?
Daqui means from here. Não, é perto means No, it is nearby.
- Dá pra ir a pé?
- Can I walk there?
Dá pra is common in conversation. The question asks whether walking is practical.
- Pode repetir mais devagar, por favor?
- Could you repeat that more slowly, please?
Use this after a reply you did not catch. You can ask again.
