Learn the most common and surprising uses of “mais” in Brazilian Portuguese! 🇧🇷
In this lesson, you’ll see that mais doesn’t always mean “more”—it shows up in everyday idiomatic expressions like a mais, a menos, mais ou menos, sem mais nem menos, cada vez mais, and nunca mais.
Mastering these expressions will make your Portuguese sound much more natural and authentic. Watch until the end and practice in the comments!
