When you order bottled water (see previous post), you may hear this follow up question:

 
  • "Gelada ou natural?"
 

Gelada means cold, from the fridge.

 

Natural means room temperature.

 

Or you may hear something like:

 
  • "Com gelo?"
 

That means: "With ice?"

 

Here is what you need to know:

 

Com gelo = With ice

 

Sem gelo = No ice
