Questions & Answers about Agrupem-se lá e façam a pose.

What exactly does lá do in this sentence? Would it mean the same without it?
Without lá, the sentence sounds like a strict, direct order. Adding lá softens the command. It acts as a pragmatic mitigator, making it sound more casual, like saying 'Come on, just group up' or 'Just group up.' You will often hear it used by photographers or friends trying to get a group organized without sounding bossy.
Why is the pronoun attached to the end in Agrupem-se instead of coming before the verb?
In European Portuguese, affirmative commands require the pronoun to be attached to the end of the verb with a hyphen. If this were a negative command, the pronoun would jump before the verb (for example, Não se agrupem).
Why is the verb fazer used here instead of a literal translation for 'strike'?
In English we strike a pose, but the Portuguese idiom is to make a pose (fazer a pose). Here, it is conjugated as façam, which is the command form for vocês (plural you).
