    Hey, I am sorry to bomb you with a series of questions 😊
    1. What if instead of queria I say “quero”. Would it be rude?
    2. Is “por favor” interchangeable with “se faz favor”
    3. What if I take 2 coffees? Is it “duas cafés “ or rather “o café, duas vezes”?
    Obrigado

    • @TalktheStreets
      @TalktheStreets  9 місяців тому

      Hi, no problem!
      1. You can say "quero", but it does sound a bit more harsh.
      2. Yes, you can use both and they have the exact same meaning.
      3. "dois cafés por favor"
