How to Say ‘Wouldn't there be another entrance closer by?’ in Portuguese

Não haverá outra entrada mais perto?

nao ah-veh-RAH OH-truh ehn-TRAH-dah mysh per-to

[nao ah-veh-RAH OH-truh ehn-TRAH-dah mysh per-to]

💬 Usage Tip: haverá is "will there be", but in a question with não it softens into "wouldn't there be". It's a polite way to suggest something without demanding it.
