Good to know

When describing things in the office in Portuguese, Pasta can mean a physical folder or a folder on a computer. Ficheiro is the word for a computer file. Rato names the computer mouse, and Agrafador is the usual word in Portugal for a stapler.

Compromisso can mean an obligation or an arrangement to meet; it does not necessarily mean a meeting at work. Picar o ponto means recording your arrival at or departure from work, rather than simply being punctual.
