How to Say ‘Have you been resting enough?’ in Portuguese
Tens descansado o suficiente?
taysh des-kahn-SAH-doo oo soo-fee-SYEN-tuh
[taysh des-kahn-SAH-doo oo soo-fee-SYEN-tuh]
💬 Usage Tip: With [tu], the verb changes: [tens], not [tem]. Same pattern: [tu tens], [tu tens descansado], but [você tem].
🇵🇹 In Portugal: Using [tu] can sound caring and close in family conversation. If your relationship with the in-laws is still formal, a more distant form may fit better.
