How to Say ‘What if we hold the meeting?’ in Portuguese

E se fizermos a reunião?

ee suh fee-ZEH-moosh uh hee-oo-nee-OWN

[ee suh fee-ZEH-moosh uh hee-oo-nee-OWN]

💬 Usage Tip: E se + a verb ending in -rmos is a ready-made way to suggest something as a group. Swap the verb: E se mudarmos a data? "What if we change the date?"
