creditar در ۳۰ ثانیه
- Creditar: Add money to an account or give credit for something.
- Mainly financial: Used for bank deposits.
- Also for attribution: Giving credit for success or ideas.
- Distinguish from 'acreditar' (to believe).
The Portuguese verb creditar primarily means 'to credit' or 'to add money to an account'. It is a common verb in financial contexts, but it can also be used in a more general sense to mean 'to believe' or 'to attribute'. Understanding its nuances is key to using it correctly in various situations.
- Financial Usage
- In banking and finance, creditar refers to the action of depositing funds into someone's account. For example, when a salary is paid, it is credited to the employee's bank account. This is the most frequent and direct meaning of the word.
- General Usage (Belief/Attribution)
- Beyond finance, creditar can also mean 'to believe' or 'to give credit to' an idea, a person, or an achievement. For instance, you might say you 'credit' a particular strategy for a company's success. This usage implies acknowledging the source or cause of something.
O banco vai creditar o valor na sua conta amanhã.
Eu credito o sucesso dele à sua dedicação.
The verb creditar is derived from the Latin word 'credere', meaning 'to believe'. This etymology helps explain its dual meaning: believing something and also entrusting something (like money) to a system or account. In everyday Portuguese, you'll encounter it frequently in news reports about economics, personal finance discussions, and when talking about achievements or contributions.
- Frequency
- While not an everyday word for casual conversation outside of financial matters, it's very common in formal settings, news, and business. For learners at the A2 CEFR level, grasping the financial meaning is the priority.
When you hear creditar, think about whether it's about money going into an account or someone receiving recognition or belief for something they've done. This distinction is crucial for accurate comprehension.
Using creditar correctly involves understanding its grammatical structure and the contexts in which it appears. As a regular verb of the first conjugation (-ar verbs), it follows standard conjugation patterns. The key is to pair it with the appropriate object and context.
- Financial Context
- In financial sentences, creditar typically takes a direct object (the amount of money) and an indirect object (the account or person to whom the money is credited). The structure often looks like: '[Subject] + creditou + [amount] + na conta de + [person/entity]' or '[Subject] + creditou + [amount] + à conta de + [person/entity]'. Alternatively, it can be '[Subject] + creditou + [amount] + a + [account/person]'.
A empresa vai creditar o salário na conta dos funcionários.
O banco creditou R$500 na minha conta corrente.
- Belief/Attribution Context
- When used to express belief or attribution, creditar is often followed by the preposition 'a' and then the person, idea, or factor being credited. The structure is usually: '[Subject] + credita + [achievement/quality] + a + [person/factor]'.
Nós creditamos o sucesso do projeto à colaboração de todos.
Muitos creditam a descoberta a um golpe de sorte.
When constructing your own sentences, consider the subject, the tense, and the object. Are you talking about money being added, or are you talking about giving credit for an idea or an action? This will guide your choice of sentence structure.
- Imperative Mood
- In commands, you might hear: 'Credite o valor!' (Credit the amount!) or 'Credite a sua contribuição!' (Credit your contribution!).
Remember to adapt the verb ending to the subject. For example, 'Eu credito', 'Ele credita', 'Nós creditamos'. The more you practice forming sentences, the more natural it will become.
You'll encounter the verb creditar in several common scenarios, primarily related to finance and formal acknowledgments. Understanding these contexts will help you recognize and use the word effectively.
- Banking and Financial Transactions
- This is the most frequent place you'll hear creditar. Bank statements, notifications from financial institutions, and conversations about money transfers will often use this verb. For example, when you receive a payment, you'll be told that the amount will be creditado in your account. This applies to salaries, reimbursements, refunds, and any incoming funds.
Recebi uma notificação: o reembolso foi creditado.
- Business and Commerce
- In business dealings, invoices, and accounting, creditar is used when acknowledging a payment received or when transferring funds between accounts. A company might state, 'Vamos creditar o valor pago adiantado na sua próxima fatura.' (We will credit the amount paid in advance to your next invoice.)
- News and Media
- Economic news reports frequently use creditar when discussing financial markets, government spending, or international trade. For instance, 'O governo decidiu creditar fundos adicionais para o setor de saúde.' (The government decided to credit additional funds to the health sector.)
Os analistas creditam o crescimento da economia a novas políticas.
- Academic and Formal Writing
- In academic papers or formal essays, creditar can be used to attribute ideas, theories, or discoveries to their originators. 'O autor credita a inspiração para o romance a uma viagem que fez.' (The author credits the inspiration for the novel to a trip he took.)
Pay attention to the verb's tense and the surrounding words. This will give you strong clues about whether it's about money or attribution. For instance, if you see 'saldo' (balance) or 'conta' (account) nearby, it's almost certainly about finance.
- Everyday Conversations (Less Common)
- While less common in casual chats, you might hear it if someone is discussing a financial matter, like splitting a bill or expecting a payment. You might also hear it in a slightly more figurative sense, like 'Eu credito que ele vai conseguir' (I believe he will succeed), though 'acreditar' is more common for general belief.
Learners of Portuguese might make a few common mistakes when using or understanding the verb creditar. Being aware of these pitfalls can help you avoid them and use the word more accurately.
- Confusing with 'Acreditar'
- The most frequent confusion is between creditar and acreditar. While both relate to belief, creditar in its primary sense is about financial transactions or attributing credit. Acreditar (to believe) is more general for expressing faith or conviction in something or someone. Using creditar when you mean 'to believe' in a general sense (e.g., 'I believe you') is usually incorrect; 'acreditar' is the word for that. However, when attributing success or a cause, 'creditar' is used with 'a'.
Incorrect: Eu credito que ele vai chegar a tempo. (Sounds like you're financially crediting his arrival.)
Correct: Eu acredito que ele vai chegar a tempo. (I believe he will arrive on time.)
- Incorrect Preposition Usage
- When creditar is used for attribution (giving credit), it requires the preposition 'a'. Omitting it can lead to an awkward or incorrect sentence. For example, saying 'Eu credito o sucesso dele' without 'a' is incomplete. It should be 'Eu credito o sucesso dele a sua perseverança'.
- Misunderstanding the Financial Context
- In financial contexts, creditar means to add money to an account. Some learners might confuse it with 'debitar' (to debit/withdraw). It's crucial to remember that 'creditar' is for incoming funds, while 'debitar' is for outgoing funds.
Incorrect: O banco vai creditar dinheiro da minha conta. (This means the bank will add money FROM your account, which is wrong.)
Correct: O banco vai debitar dinheiro da minha conta. (The bank will debit money from my account.)
Correct: O banco vai creditar dinheiro na minha conta. (The bank will credit money to my account.)
Another common error is incorrect conjugation. While creditar is a regular verb, learners might accidentally use the wrong endings, especially in less common tenses. Always double-check the verb conjugation based on the subject and tense.
- Overuse in Casual Speech
- While creditar is correct for financial transactions, using it for general belief in casual conversation sounds overly formal or even slightly unnatural. Stick to 'acreditar' for everyday expressions of belief.
While creditar has specific meanings, there are other Portuguese words that share some semantic overlap or can be used as alternatives depending on the context. Understanding these distinctions is vital for precise communication.
- Acreditar
- Meaning: To believe, to have faith, to trust. Usage: This is the most common word for expressing belief in general. It's used for opinions, statements, or in a religious context. It is NOT used for financial transactions. Example: Eu acredito em você. (I believe in you.) Difference from 'creditar': 'Acreditar' is for general belief; 'creditar' is primarily for financial deposits or attributing credit/cause.
- Depositar
- Meaning: To deposit (money), to place, to lay down. Usage: Very similar to 'creditar' when referring to putting money into a bank account. It can also mean to place something physically or to entrust something. Example: Vou depositar o cheque no banco. (I will deposit the check at the bank.) Difference from 'creditar': 'Depositar' is a more general term for placing money. 'Creditar' specifically implies that the money is being added to a recipient's account, often by a third party (like a bank or employer). When a bank deposits money into your account, they 'creditam' it. When you physically put money into an ATM or a teller, you 'deposita'.
- Transferir
- Meaning: To transfer. Usage: Used for moving money from one account to another, or moving anything from one place to another. Example: Preciso transferir dinheiro para a conta poupança. (I need to transfer money to the savings account.) Difference from 'creditar': 'Transferir' describes the action of moving money. 'Creditar' describes the result of that action on the receiving end – the money being added to an account.
- Atribuir
- Meaning: To attribute, to assign. Usage: Used to assign a cause, quality, or responsibility to something or someone. It's a direct synonym for the 'attribution' meaning of creditar. Example: O sucesso do filme foi atribuído à atuação principal. (The success of the movie was attributed to the lead performance.) Difference from 'creditar': 'Atribuir' is a more general verb for assigning. 'Creditar' when used this way specifically means giving credit or acknowledging the contribution.
Creditar (finance): O banco creditou o pagamento.
Depositar (finance): Eu depositei o dinheiro.
Transferir (finance): Ele transferiu os fundos.
Creditar (attribution): Credito sua ajuda ao seu bom coração.
Atribuir (attribution): Atribuo a causa a um erro.
Choosing the right word depends heavily on the specific nuance you want to convey. Creditar sits in a specific niche, often implying an official or financial action, or a formal acknowledgment of a contribution.

سطح دشواری
At the A2 level, understanding 'creditar' in financial contexts is key. Recognizing its use for attribution requires slightly more advanced comprehension, especially with the preposition 'a'. The dual meaning can be challenging initially.
Accurate conjugation and correct use of prepositions (especially 'a' for attribution) are important for writing. Differentiating between financial and attributional contexts is crucial.
Using 'creditar' correctly in speech requires practice, particularly distinguishing its two main meanings and conjugating it properly. The financial meaning is more common for learners.
Context is vital for understanding whether 'creditar' refers to money being added or credit being given for an achievement. Listen for surrounding words like 'conta', 'valor', 'sucesso', 'ajuda'.

While both relate to belief/trust, 'creditar' is primarily financial (adding money) or for specific attribution. 'Acreditar' is for general belief, faith, or trust in someone/something.
'Depositar' is the physical act of putting money in. 'Creditar' is the result of that action on the account balance, often done by a third party like a bank.
This is the direct antonym in financial contexts. 'Creditar' adds money; 'debitar' removes money.

Figurative/Neutralبهراحتی اشتباه گرفته میشود
Both verbs relate to the concept of belief or trust.
'Creditar' in its primary meaning refers to adding money to an account or attributing a specific cause/merit. 'Acreditar' is the general verb for believing, having faith, or trusting in someone or something. You 'acredita' in a person's honesty, but you 'credita' a payment to an account or success to hard work.
Eu <strong>acredito</strong> que ele é honesto. (I believe he is honest.) O banco <strong>creditou</strong> o valor na minha conta. (The bank credited the amount to my account.)
Both are related to money and accounts.
'Depositar' is the action of physically putting money into an account (e.g., at a teller or ATM). 'Creditar' is the result of that action from the perspective of the account balance – the money being added. A bank might 'depositar' a check into your account, and then 'creditar' the funds to your balance.
Eu <strong>depositei</strong> o cheque no caixa eletrônico. (I deposited the check at the ATM.) O valor foi <strong>creditado</strong> na minha conta hoje. (The amount was credited to my account today.)
Both involve moving money.
'Transferir' describes the act of moving money from one account or place to another. 'Creditar' specifically refers to the money being received and added to the destination account. You 'transferir' money from your savings to your checking, and then your checking account is 'creditado' with that amount.
Eu vou <strong>transferir</strong> dinheiro da minha conta poupança para a corrente. (I will transfer money from my savings to my checking account.) Minha conta corrente foi <strong>creditada</strong> com o valor. (My checking account was credited with the amount.)
Both can be used to assign credit or cause.
'Atribuir' is a broader term for assigning responsibility, cause, or characteristic. 'Creditar' when used in this sense (creditar a) is more specific to giving credit for an achievement, success, or contribution, often implying recognition.
O sucesso do livro foi <strong>atribuído</strong> à sua trama envolvente. (The book's success was attributed to its engaging plot.) Nós <strong>creditamos</strong> o sucesso do projeto à colaboração da equipe. (We credit the project's success to the team's collaboration.)
It's the direct financial opposite.
'Creditar' means to add money to an account. 'Debitarr' means to subtract money from an account. They are antonyms in the context of account balances.
O banco <strong>creditou</strong> meu salário, mas <strong>debitou</strong> as taxas. (The bank credited my salary, but debited the fees.)

نحوه استفاده
High in financial contexts, medium in attribution contexts.
-
Using 'creditar' for general belief instead of 'acreditar'.
→
Eu acredito que ele virá.
'Creditar' is primarily for financial deposits or specific attributions. 'Acreditar' is the general verb for believing. Saying 'Eu credito que ele virá' sounds like you are financially crediting his arrival, which is incorrect.
-
Forgetting the preposition 'a' when attributing.
→
Eu credito o sucesso <strong>a</strong> sua equipe.
When 'creditar' means to attribute success or a cause, it requires the preposition 'a' before the person or factor being credited. Omitting it, like in 'Eu credito o sucesso sua equipe', is grammatically incorrect.
-
Confusing 'creditar' (add money) with 'debitar' (subtract money).
→
O banco creditou o meu salário na conta.
'Creditar' means money is added to the account. 'Debitarr' means money is removed. Incorrectly using 'creditar' when money is being taken out will cause confusion.
-
Incorrect conjugation of 'creditar'.
→
Nós creditamos o valor.
Like other regular -ar verbs, 'creditar' needs to be conjugated correctly based on the subject. Using 'Nós creditamos' instead of an incorrect form like 'Nós credita' is essential.
-
Using 'creditar' in casual speech for general belief.
→
Eu acho que ele vai gostar.
While 'creditar' can mean to believe in a specific context of attribution, using it for general opinion or belief in casual conversation sounds unnatural. 'Achar', 'pensar', or 'acreditar' are better choices.
نکات
Mastering the Preposition 'a'
When using 'creditar' to attribute success or a cause, always remember to use the preposition 'a' followed by the person or factor. For example, 'Creditamos o sucessoao trabalho em equipe' (We credit the success to teamwork). Omitting 'a' can make the sentence grammatically incorrect or unclear.
Stress on the Right Syllable
The stress in 'creditar' falls on the second syllable: cre-DI-tar. Practicing this stress pattern will make your pronunciation sound more natural to native speakers and will help you distinguish it from similar-sounding words.
Financial vs. Attributional Use
For learners, focus first on the financial meaning (adding money to an account) as it's more concrete and frequent. Once comfortable, practice the attributional meaning, which is more nuanced and often appears in formal or analytical contexts.
Visual Aids for Memory
Create mental images to remember the two main meanings. For financial use, picture money flowing into a bank account. For attribution, imagine a trophy being handed over with the word 'CREDITADO' on it. Visuals help solidify the word's meaning.
Creditar vs. Acreditar
Remember that 'creditar' is not the same as 'acreditar'. 'Acreditar' means to believe in a general sense. 'Creditar' is for financial deposits or specific attributions. Don't say 'Eu credito que ele virá' (I credit that he will come) – use 'Eu acredito que ele virá' (I believe that he will come).

Actively try to create your own sentences using 'creditar' in both its financial and attributional senses. The more you use it in context, the more natural it will become. Start with simple sentences and gradually increase complexity.
Root in 'Believe'
The word 'creditar' comes from the Latin 'credere' (to believe). This connection helps understand both its financial meaning (entrusting money) and its attributional meaning (believing someone deserves credit).
Knowing the Opposite: 'Debitarr'
The direct financial opposite of 'creditar' (to add money) is 'debitarr' (to subtract money). Remembering this pair will help you understand financial transactions more clearly.
Formal vs. Informal Usage
While 'creditar' is standard in formal financial and business contexts, using it for general belief in casual conversation can sound overly formal or even incorrect. Stick to 'acreditar' for everyday expressions of belief.

سوالات متداول
10 سوالThe primary meaning of 'creditar' is to add money to an account, like a bank account. For example, when your salary is paid, it is 'creditado' to your account. It can also mean to attribute success or a cause to someone or something.
'Creditar' is mainly used for financial transactions (adding money) or for attributing specific causes/merits. 'Acreditar' is the general verb for believing, having faith, or trusting in someone or something. You 'acredita' in a person's potential, but you 'credita' a payment to an account.
Yes, 'creditar' can be used to attribute success, an idea, or a cause to someone or something. In this case, it is usually followed by the preposition 'a'. For example: 'Eu credito o sucesso dele à sua dedicação' (I credit his success to his dedication).
The direct opposite of 'creditar' in a financial context is 'debitar', which means to subtract money from an account.
'Depositar' is the action of putting money into an account. 'Creditar' is the result of that action from the account holder's perspective – the money being added to their balance. A bank might 'creditar' funds after you 'depositar' a check.
In financial contexts, yes, it's quite common. For attributing success or ideas, it's more formal or specific. For general belief, 'acreditar' is much more common in everyday casual conversation.
'Creditar' is a regular -ar verb. For example, in the present tense: eu credito, tu creditas, ele/ela/você credita, nós creditamos, vós creditais, eles/elas/vocês creditam. In the preterite perfect: eu creditei, tu creditaste, ele/ela/você creditou.
'Ser creditado' means 'to be credited', indicating that money has been or will be added to an account. For example, 'O valor será creditado em sua conta' means 'The amount will be credited to your account'.
Yes. For example, 'O banco não creditou o valor' means 'The bank did not credit the amount.' Or, in the attribution sense: 'Não se pode creditar a culpa a ele' means 'One cannot credit the blame to him'.
Common phrases include 'creditar na conta' (to credit to the account), 'creditar a' (to credit to/attribute to), 'ser creditado' (to be credited), and 'creditar o valor' (to credit the amount).

Summary
The verb 'creditar' in Portuguese primarily means to add money to an account (financial context) or to attribute success or a cause to someone or something (attribution context). It's essential to differentiate it from 'acreditar' (to believe in general).
- Creditar: Add money to an account or give credit for something.
- Mainly financial: Used for bank deposits.
- Also for attribution: Giving credit for success or ideas.
- Distinguish from 'acreditar' (to believe).
Mastering the Preposition 'a'
When using 'creditar' to attribute success or a cause, always remember to use the preposition 'a' followed by the person or factor. For example, 'Creditamos o sucessoao trabalho em equipe' (We credit the success to teamwork). Omitting 'a' can make the sentence grammatically incorrect or unclear.
Context is Key
The meaning of 'creditar' heavily depends on the context. If you hear it in relation to banks, accounts, or payments, it means adding money. If it's about achievements, ideas, or problems, it likely means attributing or giving credit. Listen for surrounding words to clarify the meaning.
Stress on the Right Syllable
The stress in 'creditar' falls on the second syllable: cre-DI-tar. Practicing this stress pattern will make your pronunciation sound more natural to native speakers and will help you distinguish it from similar-sounding words.
Financial vs. Attributional Use
For learners, focus first on the financial meaning (adding money to an account) as it's more concrete and frequent. Once comfortable, practice the attributional meaning, which is more nuanced and often appears in formal or analytical contexts.
