Cultural Note
The plural of 'lençol' is 'lençóis,' an irregular form that many Portuguese learners find tricky. In both Brazil and Portugal, 'lençol de elástico' (fitted sheet) and 'lençol de cima' (top sheet) are distinguished. Due to Brazil's warm climate, many people sleep with just a sheet instead of a blanket.
