When you're traveling, you'll often hear the word hóspede. This simply means a guest, someone who is staying somewhere temporarily. You might be a hóspede at a hotel, a guesthouse, or even at a friend's house.

For example, if you check into a hotel, you are a hóspede there. If your friend invites you to stay for a few days, you are their hóspede. It's a very common and useful word to know!

When we talk about 'hóspede' in Portuguese, it’s quite straightforward. It refers to someone who is staying as a guest. This could be in a hotel, a guesthouse, or even at a friend's or family member's house.

Think of it as the equivalent of 'guest' or 'lodger' in English, especially when the stay is temporary. It’s a common word you’ll hear in hospitality settings, but also in everyday conversations when someone has visitors staying over.

§ What does 'hóspede' mean?

The Portuguese word hóspede (pronounced AWSH-peh-jee in Brazil, or AWSH-peh-deh in Portugal) is a noun that generally means 'guest' or 'lodger.' It's a useful word to know, especially when you're traveling in Portuguese-speaking countries or interacting with people in their homes.

DEFINITION: A person staying in a hotel or as a guest in someone's home.

So, if you're checking into a hotel, you are a hóspede. If you're staying at a friend's house, you are also a hóspede. It's pretty straightforward. Unlike English, where you might differentiate between a 'hotel guest' and a 'house guest,' Portuguese often uses hóspede for both.

§ When do people use 'hóspede'?

You'll encounter hóspede in a few common situations:

In hotels and other accommodations: This is probably the most frequent use. When you check in, the hotel staff might refer to you as a hóspede.
When visiting someone's home: If you're invited to stay at someone's house, you are their hóspede.
In formal and informal contexts: The word is versatile and can be used in both formal settings (like a hotel reception) and informal conversations (like talking about a friend staying over).

Let's look at some examples to make this clearer. Pay attention to how hóspede fits into different sentences.
