💬 Usage Tip: Portuguese often drops [você] when it's understood, so [Tem um olhar muito gentil.] can still mean [You have a very kind look]. You'll hear this a lot in everyday speech.
🇵🇹 In Portugal: This is a more intimate kind of compliment because it's about someone's [olhar], not just clothes or style. Use it carefully with strangers; it can come across as flirtatious.
