Vais

Are you going (informal)?

Language note: “Vais” = tu (informal) form of “ir” (to go). For polite/formal: “Vai?” (você) or “Vai sair…?”.

Culture note: With strangers (like staff), Portuguese often uses a more neutral/polite style than “tu,” depending on the region and context.

Context: The local wants to know if you’re heading out somewhere (informal). They begin the question: “___ …”
