Cultural Note
When ordering water at a restaurant in Portugal or Brazil, you must specify 'com gás' (sparkling) or 'sem gás' (still). In Portugal, tap water ('água da torneira') is safe but rarely offered in restaurants — you will be given bottled water. In Brazil, asking for 'um copo de água' (a glass of water) at restaurants is normal and usually free.
