Cup or glass Sei que a dúvida é banal, mas eu realemente fico em dúvida me quando usar. Qual a forma correta de se dizer "copo"? Tanto faz uma ou outra? Qual o contexto correto?

I'm reading your question from an automatic translation, so sorry if I got your meaning wrong. A glass is made of glass, and does not have a handle. A cup has a handle usually, but can be handleless, as long as it is not made of glass. A larger cup, with relatively straight sides is usually called a mug.

You would usually translate 'copo' as 'GLASS' - especially if it is for a cold drink : beer, wine, spirits, juice, cocktails etc. A glass of wine, for example. Glasses are usually made of glass and have no handle. Here are some pictures of glasses: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=drinking+glasses&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAmoVChMI66SzyN7OxwIVKZ3bCh2w4Qq_&biw=1426&bih=740 The English word 'cup' is the equivalent of the Portuguese 'xicara'. Cups are usually for hot drinks, and are often - but not always - ceramic and with handles. You drink coffee out of a cup. If you get a coffee 'to go' it might come in a paper or plastic cup. Babies drink out of plastic cups with lids and handles.
