Portuguese for a Hotel Crib, Extra Bed, or Family Room — Practice

Ask if a crib is available

A crib is berço. Ask whether the hotel can provide one for your room and whether it needs to be requested before arrival. Availability and room policies vary, so confirm the details directly with the property.

Repeat the child's age and the dates of your stay if the hotel needs those details to answer.

Clarify the beds and room arrangement

Cama extra means extra bed, and quarto conjugado can describe connecting rooms. Ask which beds are in the room and whether an extra bed changes the price.

Use a specific question instead of assuming that a room described as family-friendly includes a particular arrangement.

Confirm what will be ready when you arrive

Ask whether the arrangement is confirmed for the reservation and request a written confirmation if you need one. Check the arrival time and whom to contact if the room is not set up as agreed.

These phrases help you clarify hotel arrangements; the property controls its current availability and policies.

Remember: Ask whether a crib or extra bed is available, confirm any additional cost, and get the arrangement attached to your reservation.

Check your understanding

Choose the English meaning of each Portuguese example. Answer before looking back at the tables. These questions check the written examples in this guide; they are not a listening or proficiency test.

Recall the Portuguese, then say it

Read the English prompt and say a Portuguese version before opening the answer. The answer shows the example from the lesson; other natural translations may also work. Compare the meaning and the situation rather than counting a different word as automatically wrong.

Make the phrase useful to you

Choose one example you could actually use. Say it once from memory, then change one detail that fits your life, such as the person, place, time, or object. Check whether your change also needs a different verb form, article, or adjective ending. If it does, compare it with the pattern in the explanation.

Ask whether a crib or extra bed is available, confirm any additional cost, and get the arrangement attached to your reservation.

Return to two prompts tomorrow without opening the answers first. If a phrase still feels difficult, shorten it to a useful chunk and build the complete sentence again.
