Signification
The side of the body that is not the left side.
Contexte culturel
In Brazilian traffic, turning right on a red light is generally prohibited unless there is a specific sign allowing it, unlike in parts of the US. In older Portuguese cities like Lisbon, 'direita' can be tricky because streets are narrow and winding; locals might say 'suba à direita' (go up to the right).
The 'Hand' Trick
If you forget if it's 'Direito' or 'Direita', remember that 'Mão' (hand) is feminine, so the direction is always 'Direita'.
