A2 Expression 正式

Por favor, entre.

Please come in.

意思

A polite invitation to enter a place.

🌍

文化背景

Brazilians often follow 'Por favor, entre' with 'Fique à vontade' (Make yourself at home). It's common to offer a 'cafezinho' immediately after the guest enters. In Portugal, the threshold of the home is more private. 'Por favor, entre' is a formal invitation that shows great respect for the guest. Hospitality is deeply communal. Inviting someone in often means inviting them to share a meal, even if they just stopped by for a minute. Similar to other Lusophone African countries, the invitation is warm and often involves the whole family greeting the guest at the door.

🎯

The Brazilian Softener

In Brazil, adding 'Pode' (Pode entrar) makes you sound much more like a local and less like a tourist.

⚠️

Watch the Plural

If two people are at the door, saying 'Entre' is grammatically incorrect. Use 'Entrem'.

The Coffee Rule

In Lusophone cultures, 'Entre' is usually a 30-minute commitment. Don't invite someone in if you are in a rush!
