Confira o exame toxicológico e a impressão digital.

Here, confira means check, verify, or make sure everything is correct.

It comes from the verb conferir. In this sentence, it is being used as a command/instruction, like:

• Check the toxicology exam and the fingerprint.
• Verify the toxicology test and the fingerprint.

Depending on context, conferir can also mean things like compare, review, or confirm.

Confira is the imperative form commonly used with você in Brazilian Portuguese.

So the implied subject is:

• (Você) confira o exame toxicológico e a impressão digital.

In English, commands usually do not show the subject:

• Check the toxicology exam and the fingerprint.

In Brazilian Portuguese, instructions in signs, forms, apps, and official language often use the você command form, which gives you forms like:

• Confira
• Verifique
• Preencha
• Assine

Because Portuguese, like English in commands, often leaves the subject unstated in the imperative.

So instead of saying:

• Você confira...

Portuguese normally just says:

• Confira...

The subject is understood. In this kind of sentence, the hidden subject is usually você.

These are definite articles, meaning the.

Portuguese articles agree with the gender of the noun:

• o = masculine singular
• a = feminine singular

So:

• o exame = the exam/test
• a impressão = the impression/print

Even though English just uses the for everything, Portuguese changes the article depending on the noun’s gender.

Yes. Exame is a masculine noun:

• o exame
• um exame

In Portuguese, noun gender is not determined only by the final letter. Many masculine nouns do not end in -o, and many feminine nouns do not end in -a.

So this is something you often need to learn together with the noun:

• o exame
• a impressão

Exame toxicológico means toxicology test or toxicological exam.

• exame = exam, test
• toxicológico = toxicological, related to toxicology

In Brazilian Portuguese, exame is very commonly used where English might say test, especially in medical, legal, or administrative contexts.

So exame toxicológico is a natural phrase in Portuguese.

Because in Portuguese, adjectives usually come after the noun.

So:

• exame toxicológico
• literally: exam toxicological

This is normal Portuguese word order.

English often puts adjectives before the noun:

• toxicology exam
• toxicological exam

Portuguese usually does the opposite:

• exame toxicológico

Because toxicológico is describing exame, and exame is masculine singular.

Adjectives in Portuguese usually agree with the noun they describe in gender and number:

• o exame toxicológico = masculine singular
• a análise toxicológica = feminine singular

So the ending changes to match the noun.

Here, impressão digital means fingerprint.

Literally, it looks like:

• impressão = impression, print
• digital = digital

But this can be misleading for English speakers. In this expression, digital is related to digit in the older sense of finger, not digital technology.

So impressão digital is the normal Portuguese term for fingerprint.

No. In impressão digital, digital does not mean electronic or computer-based.

It refers to fingers. So the phrase means fingerprint, not digital printout or anything technological.

This is a very common point of confusion for English speakers because digital in modern English is strongly associated with technology.

It may look like it should, but digital is an adjective with the same form for masculine and feminine singular.

So you get:

• a impressão digital
• o cadastro digital

The adjective does agree in number, though:

• as impressões digitais = the fingerprints

So singular digital, plural digitais.

In most everyday official or identification contexts, impressão digital means fingerprint.

Depending on context, the literal words could suggest digital impression/print, but that is usually not how a Brazilian reader would understand this phrase in a sentence like this one. With documents, identification, police records, hiring, or medical/legal procedures, impressão digital will normally be understood as fingerprint.

E simply means and.

So:

• o exame toxicológico e a impressão digital
• the toxicology exam and the fingerprint

It connects the two things that need to be checked.

A helpful approximate pronunciation is:

kohn-FEE-rah oo eh-ZAH-mee tohk-see-koh-LOH-zhee-koh ee ah eem-preh-SOWN jee-tow

A few notes:

• confira: stress on fi
• exame: stress on za
• toxicológico: stress on ló
• impressão: the ending is nasal
• digital in Brazil is often pronounced roughly like jee-gee-TAW or jee-taw, depending on accent

This is only an approximation, but it can help you start hearing the rhythm.

It sounds neutral to somewhat formal, which is very common for instructions.

This kind of sentence would fit well in:

• an app
• a website
• a checklist
• an official procedure
• a workplace instruction

It is not overly stiff, but it is definitely more instructional than conversational. In casual speech, someone might also say something like:

• Dá uma conferida no exame toxicológico e na impressão digital.

That sounds more informal and conversational.

Yes, depending on context.

Possible translations include:

• check
• verify
• confirm
• review

The best English choice depends on the situation. If this is an instruction before submitting documents, check or verify is probably best. If someone is looking over information carefully, review could also work.

So confira is a flexible word, and the exact translation depends on what kind of checking is happening.
