Faço questão

1

I insist. It is a very polite way of saying that you insist on doing some favor.

You can use it when you want to let someone else to sit on your place (like on buses, metro, etc) and s/he denies saying that she isn’t tired or doesn’t need.

Similarly, when you volunteer to do something and others say that you don’t need to. You just say “Faço questão”, or “Eu faço questão”, and they will understand that you really mean it.

Examples

  • Ih! Esqueci o boleto lá em cima!
  • Pode deixar que eu pego.
  • Ah, não precisa não. Deixa pra lá.
  • Pode deixar. Faço questão.
