Cultural Note
In casual Brazilian Portuguese, 'a gente' (literally 'the people') has largely replaced 'nós' as the first-person plural pronoun, taking third-person singular verb forms: 'A gente vai' instead of 'Nós vamos.' This is one of the most distinctive features of Brazilian vs. European Portuguese. 'Nós' remains standard in formal writing and speech.
