How to Say ‘We need ease.’ in Portuguese
Precisamos de facilidade.
preh-see-ZAH-moosh duh fah-see-lee-DAH-duh
[preh-see-ZAH-moosh duh fah-see-lee-DAH-duh]
💬 Usage Tip: [Precisar] normally takes [de]: [precisamos de], [preciso de], [precisa de]. That little [de] stays even when the English translation just says "need."
🇵🇹 In Portugal: This is understandable, but a local would more often ask for something concrete than use [facilidade] here. In a taxi situation, [precisamos de parar mais perto] or [precisamos de um acesso fácil] would sound more natural.
