\"try the settee Sofa Explanation: Settee UK / US: a long, soft seat for two or more people, with a back and usually with arms / a long seat for more than two people that has a back... Sofá aparentemente é sinônimo de canapé, portanto se o contexto está estranho com canapé, pode tranquilamente substituir por sofá!     https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/settee	Eduan Moraes Brazil Local time: 15:08 Does not meet criteria Native speaker of: Portuguese PRO pts in category: 4
Notes to answerer Asker: Acho que o problema de usar canapé é que nós perdemos essa conotação para sofá, sabe? A gente normalmente pensa naquele salgadinho. Muito obrigada pela ajuda!!
