regulamento
regulamento en 30 segundos
- A formal set of rules governing an organization or activity.
- Commonly used for building policies, sports rules, and office manuals.
- Masculine noun ('o regulamento') that is more formal than 'regra'.
- Essential for professional, legal, and administrative Portuguese contexts.
The Portuguese word regulamento is a masculine noun that translates directly to 'regulation' or 'rulebook' in English. It refers to a set of formal rules, directives, or statutes established by an authority, organization, or governing body to control conduct and ensure order within a specific context. Unlike the word 'regra' (rule), which can be informal or individual, a regulamento typically implies a structured, written document that governs a collective group, such as a sports league, a residential building, a corporation, or a government agency.
- Legal Context
- In legal and administrative settings, it refers to the secondary legislation used to implement primary laws. It is the specific manual of operations.
- Sporting Context
- It describes the official tournament rules that athletes and teams must follow to avoid disqualification.
- Daily Life
- Commonly heard in 'regulamento do condomínio' (apartment building rules), which dictates how neighbors should behave in shared spaces.
É fundamental ler o regulamento antes de assinar o contrato de trabalho.
You will encounter this word frequently in formal documents, websites (under 'Terms and Conditions'), and in any situation where a hierarchy or system of order is present. It carries a sense of formality and non-negotiability. If someone says 'está no regulamento,' they are telling you that the rule is documented and must be followed without exception.
O juiz seguiu estritamente o regulamento da competição.
As alterações no regulamento interno foram aprovadas ontem.
Não conheço o regulamento desta biblioteca.
O regulamento proíbe o uso de celulares na sala.
Using regulamento correctly requires understanding its role as a masculine noun preceded by 'o' or 'um'. It often pairs with verbs of action like 'cumprir' (to comply), 'violar' (to violate), 'ler' (to read), or 'alterar' (to change). Because it refers to a collective set of rules, it is usually singular when referring to one specific manual, even if that manual contains hundreds of rules.
- Subject of the Sentence
- 'O regulamento é claro sobre os horários.' (The regulation is clear about the schedules.) Here, the word acts as the entity defining the rules.
- Object of the Sentence
- 'Nós modificamos o regulamento.' (We modified the regulation.) In this case, the regulation is the thing being acted upon.
Você já leu o regulamento da escola?
In professional writing, you will often see it in the phrase 'de acordo com o regulamento' (according to the regulation). This is a standard way to cite authority. It can also be used in the plural, regulamentos, when referring to multiple sets of rules from different sources or departments.
De acordo com o regulamento, não é permitido fumar aqui.
O novo regulamento entra em vigor amanhã.
Eles ignoraram o regulamento de segurança.
You won't hear regulamento in a casual chat about how to cook beans, but you will hear it the moment there is a dispute or a formal process. It is the language of the 'síndico' (building manager), the 'árbitro' (referee), and the 'chefe' (boss). In Brazil, the 'Regulamento do Imposto de Renda' (Income Tax Regulation) is a massive document that every accountant knows well.
- At the Gym
- 'O regulamento da academia exige o uso de toalha.' (The gym regulation requires the use of a towel.)
- Online Shopping
- 'Consulte o regulamento da promoção no site.' (Consult the promotion rules on the website.)
O regulamento do condomínio proíbe barulho após as 22h.
In news broadcasts, journalists use it when discussing government changes. 'O governo publicou o novo regulamento para o setor elétrico.' In these contexts, it signifies a transition from a general law to specific, actionable instructions. It is also common in academic settings regarding exam protocols.
The most frequent mistake for English speakers is confusing regulamento with 'regulação'. While related, 'regulação' (regulation) often refers to the abstract act of regulating or the field itself (e.g., 'a regulação do mercado'), whereas regulamento is the specific document containing the rules.
- Mistake: Using 'Regra' for everything
- Saying 'as regras do condomínio' is fine, but 'o regulamento do condomínio' sounds more professional and refers to the official document.
- Mistake: Gender Confusion
- Because it ends in '-o', it is masculine. Avoid saying 'a regulamento'.
Errado: A regulamento é difícil.
Correto: O regulamento é difícil.
Another mistake is using 'regulamento' to mean 'regularity' (which is 'regularidade'). 'The regularity of his visits' should be 'A regularidade das visitas dele,' not 'O regulamento'. Ensure you are referring to a rule-based system when using this word.
Portuguese has several words that overlap with regulamento. Choosing the right one depends on the level of formality and the specific context.
- Regra vs. Regulamento
- A 'regra' is a single rule (e.g., 'don't run'). A 'regulamento' is the whole set of rules for an institution.
- Norma vs. Regulamento
- 'Norma' is often used for technical standards (like ISO norms) or general social norms. 'Regulamento' is more administrative.
- Estatuto vs. Regulamento
- 'Estatuto' is usually for the foundational laws of a large organization (like a club's constitution). 'Regulamento' handles the day-to-day operational rules.
O regimento interno é um tipo de regulamento usado em assembleias legislativas.
If you want to sound less formal, you might say 'as normas' or 'as instruções'. However, in any official capacity, 'regulamento' remains the most precise term.
How Formal Is It?
Dato curioso
The root 'reg' is the same as in 'king' (rex) and 'right' (rectus), implying that rules come from a central authority or a sense of 'straightness'.
Guía de pronunciación
- Pronouncing the 'en' like the English 'ten' instead of a nasal vowel.
- Stressing the wrong syllable (e.g., RE-gu-lamento).
- Pronouncing the final 'o' as a strong 'oh' instead of a soft 'u'.
- Confusing the 'g' sound with a 'j' sound.
- Making the 'r' too soft like an English 'r'.
Nivel de dificultad
Easy to recognize due to its similarity to 'regulation'.
Requires remembering the '-mento' suffix and masculine gender.
The nasal 'en' and the five syllables can be a mouthful for beginners.
Clear pronunciation usually, but can be lost in fast speech.
