Eu vou solicitar a ligação hoje.

In Brazilian Portuguese, ir + infinitive is a very common way to talk about the future.

• vou solicitar = I’m going to request
• A one-word future like solicitarei also exists, but it sounds more formal and is less common in everyday speech.

So Eu vou solicitar a ligação hoje sounds natural for spoken Brazilian Portuguese.

You can usually omit Eu.

Portuguese often leaves out subject pronouns because the verb ending already shows who the subject is:

• vou already means I am going

So:

• Eu vou solicitar a ligação hoje = correct
• Vou solicitar a ligação hoje = also correct and very natural

Including Eu can add emphasis, contrast, or clarity.

Solicitar means to request, and it is usually more formal than pedir.

• pedir = to ask for
• solicitar = to request

So solicitar often sounds more bureaucratic, professional, or official. You might hear it in customer service, business, administration, or formal communication.

Ligação can mean different things depending on context. Common meanings include:

• phone call
• connection
• installation/hookup of a service
• link/bond between things or people

So in this sentence, the exact meaning depends on the situation. For example:

• in a phone context, it could mean the call
• in a utility/service context, it could mean the connection or the hookup

This is a very common word with multiple uses.

A is the feminine singular definite article, meaning the.

• a ligação = the call / the connection

You often use the article when referring to something specific, known from context, or understood between speaker and listener.

Also, in Portuguese, articles are used more often than in English, so keeping a here sounds natural.

It can be natural, but it depends a lot on what you mean.

If you mean something formal like:

• requesting a phone/service connection
• requesting that a call be arranged
• making an official request

then solicitar a ligação works well.

But if you mean I’m going to make the call today, Brazilians would more naturally say:

• Vou fazer a ligação hoje
• Vou ligar hoje

So this sentence sounds more formal and specific than a simple everyday I’ll call today.

Yes, hoje can move around.

The sentence:

• Eu vou solicitar a ligação hoje

is completely natural, and putting hoje at the end is very common.

You could also say:

• Hoje eu vou solicitar a ligação
• Eu hoje vou solicitar a ligação

The meaning stays basically the same, but the emphasis changes a little. Ending with hoje is a neutral, natural choice.

Because solicitar is normally a direct transitive verb: you request something.

So:

• solicitar a ligação = to request the call / connection

You do not need a preposition like para or de before the thing being requested.

Compare:

• solicitar ajuda = to request help
• solicitar informações = to request information
• solicitar a ligação = to request the call/connection

The stress falls on the last syllable: li-ga-ÇÃO.

A few useful pronunciation points:

• g before a sounds like the g in go
• ção is pronounced roughly like sown with a nasal sound, not like normal English shun
• the ã/ão sound is nasal, which is very important in Portuguese pronunciation

The accent mark helps show the stressed syllable and is part of the correct spelling.

Yes, depending on the context.

For a phone call:

• ligação is very common in Brazil
• telefonema is correct but sounds a bit more formal or old-fashioned
• chamada can also be used, especially in some contexts like app calls or video calls

So if the meaning is specifically phone call, ligação is a very normal Brazilian Portuguese choice.
