Brazilians express themselves fully rather than compressing everything to minimum words. Communication takes time and uses language. A complete thought deserves complete expression.
This is not verbosity for its own sake but respect for the exchange—giving it enough words to carry meaning, warmth, and nuance. Truncated, minimal messages can feel cold and dismissive, as if the interaction was not worth the speaker’s investment. Whether in writing or speaking, Brazilians tend toward developed expression rather than compression.
If you communicate in very brief, compressed form, Brazilians may perceive it as curt or impersonal. Allowing your communication appropriate verbal fullness shows that you value the interaction and the person you are communicating with.
