Bedeutung
To conceive a thought or suggestion.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Brazil, the phrase is often accompanied by a snap of the fingers to signify the 'estalo' (the moment the idea hit). In European Portuguese, the pronunciation of 'ideia' is slightly more closed than in Brazil, but the usage remains identical. The loss of the accent mark in 'ideia' (previously 'idéia') is a result of the 1990 Orthographic Agreement, which aimed to unify the written language across all Portuguese-speaking countries.
The 'Tive' Trick
Always use 'Tive' (past) when you want to sound like you just had a breakthrough. It sounds much more natural than 'Tenho'.
No Accent!
Remember that 'ideia' no longer has an accent. Writing 'idéia' makes your Portuguese look outdated.
