Queres ir primeiro?
Do you want to go first?
Language note: This sounds a bit incomplete alone; often you’ll add the place: “Queres ir primeiro para…?”
Culture note: In route planning, locals often split trips into steps: “primeiro… depois…” (first… then…).
Context: They narrow it down: what’s your first stop before heading on to Lisbon.
