casual
Está gelada?
Is it cold? (Brazil, about beer)
ehs-TAH zheh-LAH-dah
What does it mean?
Asking if a beer is properly cold ("está gelada?") is a genuinely serious question in Brazil — beer culture there prizes ice-cold ("bem geladinha") over anything close to room temperature. A bartender who says "geladíssima" is promising the coldest possible pour.
How to use it
Casual and completely normal to ask before ordering — Brazilians ask it constantly themselves.
