How to say yes and no and maybe in Portuguese

Problem
You can't say much in another language. They show you a bottle or point to a piece of cake in a display case. How do you say yes and no? You can shake your head or nod (except in Bulgaria where everything is back to front) but if they are not looking but about to take something from a cupboard you might want to shout 'No!'

English - Portuguese
(Ordered by most needed words.)
yes - sim
no - não
maybe- talvez
tell me more - me diga mais
English - Portuguese (alphabetically)
no - não
yes - sim
Portuguese - English (alphabetically)
não - no
sim - yes
