How to Say ‘Make yourself / Feel’ in Portuguese
Sente-te
SEN-tuh-tuh
[SEN-tuh-tuh]
💬 Usage Tip: The [‑te] here is "yourself," attached to the verb: [sente-te] = "feel yourself / make yourself." You'll see the same pattern in friendly European Portuguese commands like [senta-te] "sit down" and [lembra-te] "remember."
🇵🇹 In Portugal: This is warm and informal, the kind of thing family or close hosts say at home. With in-laws, it fits if the relationship is already relaxed; otherwise the more neutral [Esteja à vontade] can sound safer.
