I'm going to Portugal and need to learn some common food terms. Can you help?
user
Oh, it's nice to meet you! I have tons of information to share. What sort of terms do you want to know?
assistant
How would I say "coffee" in Portuguese?
user
Ah, "café". Very common. How about "tequila"?
assistant
Sure. How do you say "tequila" and also "beer" and "wine"?
user
If you ask for a bottle of "tequila", you'll just be speaking to a barman. If you want a tequila "cocktail" like a margarita, you should say something like "uma margarita, por favor" or "um agua com tequila, por favor". If you want beer, say "uma cerveja, por favor" or "uma garrafa de cerveja, por favor". And for wine, you can just say "uma taça de vinho, por favor".
assistant
Great. And how about "water"?
